The aim of our studies was to assess the pollution resulting from burning fossil fuels and their emission lines (expressways). Quantitative and qualitative analysis of inorganic and organic pollutants, including PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) adsorbed on the surfaces, or formed through thermal decomposition of used biomarkers, was based on coupled techniques such as ICP-MS (inductively coupled...
Forest soil together with the mulch covering it, its chemical composition, oxygen conditions, pH, moisture, and food resources determine the specific species composition of edaphon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acidic runoff off the bark of a tree on the faunistic list of macro-pedofauna at different distances from the base of the trunk. The study was conducted in the central...
One of the biomethods for organic waste utilization is the vermicomposting process, that is run with the use of dense populations of the Californian redworm {Eisenia foetida), whose role in the processes of prevention of soil degradation and organic waste recycling is well known.

It is known that water, apart from its function as a partner in physical reactions, is also the carrier of anthropogenic transformation of the natural environment. Acid rain is all the rain, snow, and mist that...
