Respecting EU cross-compliance requirements as an indicator of animal welfare on dairy farms in Poland.The aim of the study was to determine the level of animal welfare on dairy farms in Poland and to compare the measured parameters with the cross-compliance requirements. The study was conducted on 46 farms in the winter season. The microclimate measurements such as air moisture content, concentrations...
In Poland in the year 2010, 518 527 hectares of agricultural land were managed organically. This study attempts to estimate the total non-monetary value of Polish organic production as a sum of its non-monetary external benefits and the external costs which were offset by the transition from conventional to organic production. The external costs of Polish conventional agriculture were also calculated...
The surface microlayer is a thin layer found at the contact zone of two environments forming an ecotone at the atmosphere–hydrosphere interface. It is the boundary layer of extreme importance for both environments. In the years 2000–2004 surface water microlayer of an eutrophic, deep lake (577 ha, max. depth 32.2 m, Lake Jasień in Northern Poland) was analyzed (in four seasons each year) in terms...
The aim of this study was to compare ecophysiological basis for developing feral pigeons (Columba livia f. urbana) in various environments of Northern Poland. We examined heavy metals contents, lipid and protein peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes activity in individuals growing and feeding in the different polluted regions. Pigeons from urban area possessed high maintenance of cadmium in the blood,...
Monitoring studies of environmental (soil, water, grass and cereals) and biological materials (tissues of hens, eggs, cow’s milk) in the industrialized area of the Legnica-Głogów copper mine district (LGOM-copper region) and Jeleniogórska Valley (KJG) were carried out in order to determine the content of mercury. Low concentrations, at levels naturally occurring in the environment, were determined...
The aim of the experiment was to evaluate mercury content in the hair of people in Lubartów and surrounding areas (Lublin region, Poland) depending on their place of residence, lifestyle and diet. Mean mercury content in the hair of tested general population from Lubartów and surroundings, which amounted to 0.10±0.07 μg g⁻¹, was similar to the results achieved by other authors for populations from...
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multiplex PCR and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) methods were used for genotyping study of seventy-three L. monocytogenes isolates collected in Poland between 2000 and 2002 from human, food, environment and a diseased goat. The multiplex PCR, which is an alternative method to classical serotyping, divided the isolates into four PCR groups, IIa (42.5%), IIb...
Fractionation of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn has been performed in bottom sediment samples collected along a 75 km section of the middle Odra River by a modified method of 5-step sequential extraction according to Tessier. The results have shown the presence of Cu, Ni, Zn and Mn already in exchange fraction (I); the mean percent content of metals in mobile phases (exchange and carbonate) reached...
In paper state of selected environmental elements in Czech Republic and Republic of Poland was compared. It was confirmed improvement of state of environment in majority indexes observed in the last two decades in both countries by lower dust and gasses emission, which in Poland may be partly caused by decrease of industrial production From this reason should be pay peculiar attention in ease of animation...
