artificial intelligence. These studies were conducted using varying degrees of fake pollution, namely saline distilled water. Each pollution level indicated the quantity of artificial pollution, measured in millilitres, in each section of the insulator. The collecting database provides flashover voltage measurements associated with varying levels of artificial pollution in each insulator zone and its conductivity. Furthermore, we have used fuzzy logic (FL) to forecast the flashover voltage of the high-voltage insulator and assess the insulating condition of simulated pollution. The suggested prediction model, which is based on Federated Learning (FL), is implemented using MATLAB's graphical user interface. Ultimately, a comparison was conducted between the outcomes achieved by FL and real-world ones. The database used in this comparison differs from that used in concepts based on programming language implementation taken from previous literature. The findings demonstrate the superior effectiveness of the FL approach in predicting the flashover voltage of high-voltage insulators when compared to data acquired from practical testing.
wdrożenia idei sztucznej inteligencji. Badania te przeprowadzono przy użyciu różnego stopnia fałszywych zanieczyszczeń, a mianowicie destylowanej wody solankowej. Każdy poziom zanieczyszczenia wskazywał ilość sztucznych zanieczyszczeń, mierzoną w mililitrach, w każdej sekcji izolatora. Zbierana baza danych zapewnia pomiary napięcia przeskoku związane z różnymi poziomami sztucznych zanieczyszczeń w każdej strefie izolatora i jego przewodnością. Ponadto wykorzystaliśmy logikę rozmytą (FL) do prognozowania napięcia przeskoku izolatora wysokiego napięcia i oceny stanu izolacji symulowanego zanieczyszczenia. Sugerowany model predykcyjny, oparty na Federated Learning (FL), jest implementowany przy użyciu graficznego interfejsu użytkownika MATLAB-a. Ostatecznie przeprowadzono porównanie wyników uzyskanych na platformie FL z wynikami uzyskanymi w świecie rzeczywistym. Baza danych wykorzystana w tym porównaniu różni się od bazy danych stosowanej w koncepcjach opartych na implementacji języka programowania zaczerpniętych z wcześniejszej literatury. Odkrycia wskazują na wyższą skuteczność metody FL w przewidywaniu napięcia przeskoku izolatorów wysokiego napięcia w porównaniu z danymi uzyskanymi z testów praktycznych.

environmental conservation activities related to small-scale gold mining activities. This research uses a quantitative approach with univariate tests to identify respondent characteristics, bivariate tests (Chi-square) to test relationships and frequency differences, and multivariate analysis (regression) to test the direction and magnitude of the relationship. The perception of the impact of small-scale gold mining on human health was not significantly related (p=0.576) to community participation in environmental conservation activities. Attitude variables related to nature conservation are partially significantly related to community participation in environmental conservation activities (p=0.001). Respondents with a poor attitude regarding environmental conservation activities are 17.1 times more likely to not participate in environmental conservation activities than respondents with a good attitude. Although mining activities benefit several sectors, it is undeniably detrimental to the environmental health sector, where one of the critical impacts is the mercury content in the soil and water in the environment around mining. Therefore, local people should take advantage of locally-based nature conservation.
of pollution based on monitored data on the concentration of pollution over time. From a mathematical point of view, to decrease the uncertainty of the inverse task solution, it is necessary to know the location of the source or the concentrations time course of the source (intensity function). In practice, we usually do not know any of these quantities, however, in the case of sewer networks we can accept some assumptions, which allow us to solve this inverse problem. Paper analyses specific conditions applied in the environment of sewer networks and describes proposed method for solving the source localisation task in the sewer network environment. The solution is based on numerical modelling of the pollution spreading in sewer system, accepting some process simplifications as well as assuming some source parameters. Typically, the solution of inverse task requires large and time consuming numerical simulations. This can be disadvantageous after recording the pollution event - a long calculation time reduces the efficiency and operability for the following pollution source reconnaissance. Therefore, our proposed method performs the necessary simulations in advance and the pollution source localisation after recording the pollution event is very fast, using a simple search and comparison in the simulation results database. The proposed method was tested on real sewer system and there were achieving promising results.
wody dla niektórych odbiorców. W pracy dokonano oceny stopnia zanieczyszczenia oraz zmienności jakości wód deszczowych gromadzonych i podczyszczanych w uszczelnionych stawach przy nowych drogach w aglomeracji lubelskiej (południowo-wschodnia Polska). Oceniono również potencjalne zagrożenia i możliwości ponownego użycia wód. W badaniach uwzględniono zmiany natężenia ruchu samochodowego i warunków pogodowych. Badania jakościowe prowadzono sezonowo. Analizami objęto m.in. wybrane wskaźniki fizyczne, biogenne i zasolenia. Wykazano dużą zmienność koncentracji zawiesin ogólnych, NO2-, NH4+, PO43-, TP, i Cl- (74-216%). W niektórych terminach pomiarowych stwierdzono niepokojące wartości przewodności, pH, zawiesin, TP, Cl- i ChZT. W warunkach badań zmienność jakości wód deszczowych była większa w pierwszej fazie eksploatacji systemu zbiorników, a poziom średniego zanieczyszczenia stabilizował się w ciągu kilku lat od jego wybudowania. Zmiany natężenia ruchu samochodowego nie wpływały znacząco na wielkość zanieczyszczenia retencjonowanych wód. Duża zmienność zanieczyszczenia wód utrudnia precyzyjne wyznaczanie okresów, w których ich wykorzystanie wiąże się z najmniejszym ryzykiem. Zarządzanie wodami deszczowymi powinno opierać się na wnikliwych analizach ich jakości (stały monitoring) oraz ocenie ewentualnego zagrożenia dla środowiska.
This paper evaluates the pollution level and variations in the quality of rainwater collected and pre-treated in sealed ponds located next to new roads in the metropolitan area of Lublin (south-eastern Poland). Potential threats and possibilities of water reuse were also assessed. The studies took into account changes in traffic intensity and weather conditions. Qualitative research was conducted seasonally. The analyzes included, among others: selected physical, biogenic and salinity indicators. High variations in the concentration of total suspended solids, NO2-, NH4+, PO43-, TP, and Cl- were observed (74-216%). On some measurement dates disturbing conductivity, pH, suspended solids, TP, Cl– and COD values were found. Under the test conditions, variations in stormwater quality was greater at the first stage of using the system of reservoirs, and the mean level of pollution stabilized several years after its construction. Changes in traffic intensity did not significantly affect on the degree of contamination of the stored water. The high variability of water pollution makes it difficult to precisely identify periods in which the use of ponds poses the lowest risk. Rainwater management should be based on thorough analyses of water quality (constant monitoring) and the evaluation of possible threats to the environment.
between digital economic development (DED) and carbon mitigation. Empirical analyses are conducted utilising panel data encompassing Chinese municipalities from 2011 to 2020, enabling a quantitative evaluation of the influence exerted by DED on the concerted governance of carbon reduction and haze mitigation. The results emphasise that: DED cultivates conducive circumstances for curtailing carbon emissions and addressing haze pollution, with subsequent robust testing reinforcing the enduring significance of DED’s impact on PCR. Heterogeneity analysis reveals the pronounced effect of DED on PCR, particularly discernible in provincial capitals, eastern municipalities, as well as first and second-tier urban centers, alongside metropolises of significant magnitude. The reciprocal impact of DED on PCR predominantly stems from industrialisation synergies, primarily attributed to the optimisation and advancement of industrial structure, concomitant with enhancements in production efficiency.
experience contributes to diminishing corporate carbon intensity, thereby fostering the shift towards lower carbon operations. Notably, this finding persists even after subjecting the analysis to robustness tests. However, the impact of CEO green experience, while promoting corporate low-carbon transitions, is comparatively lesser than other influential factors. This discrepancy exhibits distinct variations within the ownership structure and pollution attributes of companies. Specifically, the significance of CEO green experience is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises and heavily polluting firms.
choroby nowotworowe, co potwierdzają liczne badania. Substancje chemiczne występujące w warunkach pożaru osadzają się w postaci zanieczyszczeń na zewnętrznej powierzchni odzieży ochronnej strażaka i przedostają się do wewnętrznych warstw. Z tego względu po przeprowadzonych działaniach ratowniczych odzież ochronna wymaga odpowiedniego czyszczenia, które pozwala na usunięcie znacznej ilości substancji chemicznych oraz zapobiega ich oddziaływaniu na skórę i układ oddechowy. W artykule scharakteryzowano narażenie strażaków na substancje chemiczne (będące produktami spalania i emitowane podczas pożarów) oraz opisano proces czyszczenia odzieży ochronnej z zanieczyszczeń chemicznych.
by numerous research studies. The chemicals found in fire conditions settle in the form of contaminants on the outer surface of the firefighter’s protective clothing and permeate to the inner layers. For this reason, appropriate cleaning of special clothing, which allows to remove a significant amount of chemicals and prevents their impact on the skin and respiratory system, is required after rescue operations. The paper characterizes the exposure of firefighters to chemical substances (combustion products and emitted during fires) and describes the process of cleaning protective clothing from chemical contaminants.
Innovations For Resource Management: Socio-Economic Challenges In An Environmentally Constrained World,” the congress spotlighted five pivotal domains: hydrology and water resource management, applied geophysics in geological exploration and structural analysis, environmental pollution, climate and atmospheric studies, and renewable energy and climate modeling. These thematic areas serve as focal points for grappling with the multifaceted challenges posed by contemporary resource management paradigms.
regions such as Visakhapatnam (VSK), Hyderabad (HYD), Amaravati (AMV), and Tirupati (TPTY). Data from the Zoo Park area were used to study the location of HYD. Sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), particulate matter with particles less than 2.5 gm in diameter (PM2.5), particulate matter with particles less than 10 gm in diameter (PM10), and ozone (O3) are the air pollutants used for analysis in this work. An attempt was made to research the meteorological factors that contribute to the rising levels of air pollution between 2019 and 2022. Wind speed (WS), temperature (TEMP), relative humidity (RHUM), rainfall (RF), and solar radiation (SR) are the meteorological variables used in the analysis. The prediction of PM2.5 and PM10 was done using artificial neural network (NN) method. The NN method's outcomes show strong correlation in the forecasting of air pollution across four locations. The VSK station exhibited a high correlation of 91.29%, whereas TPTY station had a low correlation of 82.1%, based on CPCB PM2.5 observation and NN technique. The VSK station revealed a high correlation of 90.30%, whereas TPTY station had a low correlation of 81.61%, based on CPCB PM10 observation and NN technique.

(numerousrains, long winters, polar night) anddue to the high riskof permanent environmental pollution. An example of the specificity of arctic mining is Kvalsund in northern Norway, where there is a copper mine that is currently under development. Another example is the Monchegorsk region in Russia, which is currently no longer mining. Both of these places are associated with sulphide deposits of non-ferrous metals and the resulting consequences. The purpose of this text was to show the differences and similarities of these mining plants, andon this basis to demonstrate the complexity of the issues of exploitation and reclamation of mining areas in the Arctic.
ich wykrywaniem i identyfikowaniem źródła pochodzenia. Niestety, tego typu zanieczyszczenia mają poważny wpływ na ludzkie zdrowie powodując m.in. poważne uszkodzenia układów i narządów człowieka, a także długotrwałe skutki zdrowotne, takie jak choroby nowotworowe i inne poważne zaburzenia zdrowia. Dlatego ważne jest, aby zwrócić uwagę na te zagrożenia i zrobić wszystko, co w naszej mocy, aby zapobiegać ich pojawianiu się i zminimalizować ich szkodliwe skutki. W badaniach ekosystemów częstym problemem jest niskie stężenie badanej substancji, które jest poniżej limitu detekcji urządzenia. W takich przypadkach biowskaźniki kumulacji okazują się być bardzo pomocne. Biomarkery są doskonałym narzędziem do wykrywania zanieczyszczeń w wodzie płynącej i w glebie Dzięki nim można stwierdzić obecność określonych czynników chemicznych, a jednocześnie są one czułym wskaźnikiem reakcji ekosystemu na skażenie. W oparciu o chromatografię cieczową została opracowana uniwersalna metoda, która umożliwia analizę trotylu i jego pochodnych w wytypowanym przez nas biowskaźniku akumulacji - larwach chruścików z gatunku Hydropsyche angu-stipennis, Curtis 1834 oraz próbkach gleby, czy innych złożonych matrycach. Metoda chromatograficzna pozwala na ilościowe i jakościowe oznaczenie różnych pochodnych trotylu, takich jak 2,6-diamino-4-nitrotoluen, 2,4-dia-mino-6-nitroto-luen, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzen, trójnitrotoluen, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluen, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluen i tetrylu w złożonej matrycy biologicznej. Dodatkowo prze-prowadzono badanie efektu kumulacji trotylu w tkance larw chruścików poddanych ekspozycji w rozworach testowych zwierających trotyl przez 1 do 24 godzin. Zauważono efekt wysycenia oraz zmierzono stężenie pochodnych trotylu. Zaobserwowane efekty potwierdziły użyteczność wytypowanej larwy jako biowskaźnika akumulacji zanieczyszczeń trotylu w ekosystemie.
their detection and identification of sources of origin. Unfortunately, such contaminations have a serious influence into the human health causing for instance significant injuries of human systems and organs, and long term problems with the health such as cancer diseases and other serious health disturbances. Therefore, it is important to focus attention on these threats, and to do everything possible to prevent their appearance and minimise the harmful effects. A low concentration of tested agent, below the instrument detection threshold, is a frequent problem at investigations of ecosystems. In such cases biomarkers of cumulation prove to be very helpful. Biomarkers can be a perfect tool for detection of contaminations in the flowing water and in the ground. They can be used to establish the presence of specific chemical agents and at the same time they are a sensitive indicator of eco-system’s reaction to the contamination. A universal method was developed basing on the liquid chromatography for analysis of trotyl and its derivatives present in larvae of caddisflies from species of Hydropsyche angustipennis, Curtis 1834, and in the samples of soil, or in other complex matrixes. The chromatographic method can label quantitively and qualitatively different derivatives of trotyl, such as 2,6-diamino-4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-dia-mino-6-nitrotoluene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzen, trinitrotoluene, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluen, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluen, and tetryl in a complex biologic matrix. Additionally, an effect was investigated of trotyl cumulation within 1 to 24 hours in the tissue of cad-disfly larvae subjected to exposition of tested solutions contained trotyl. An effect of saturation was noticed and the concentration of trotyl derivatives was measured. Observed effects con-firmed the usefulness of chosen larvae as a bio-indicator of trotyl contamination accumulation in ecosystem.
source. A common analytical problem in studies conducted in the ecosystem is the low concentration of the test substance - below the detection limit of the instrument. Helpful in solving this dilemma are accumulation bio-markers, which appear to be an excellent tool for detecting contamination in, for example, flowing water. Such biomarkers make it possible to determine the presence of specific chemical agents at the same time they are a sensitive indicator of the ecosystem's response to contamination. The presented chromatographic method allows quantitative and qualitative determination of 2,6-diamino-4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-diamino-6- nitrotoluene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, trinitrotoluene, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, 4-amino-2,6- dinitrotoluene and tetryl in the biological matrix. The effects of accumulation in the tissue of crustaceans on TNT test solutions were studied from 1 to 24 hours. The saturation effect was observed and the concentration of TNT derivatives was measured. The observed effects confirmed the usefulness of the selected larva as a bio-indicator of TNT contaminant accumulation in the ecosystem.

water pollution due to strong evaporation and industrial discharges. Moreover, during the summer period irrigation increases since the crops grown are industrial tomatoes, melon, watermelon and beans, requiring intense and sustained watering. The measurement of the conductivity of the water flow shows a clear increase from 3000 μs/cm to 6000 μs/cm. This increase is connected to interactions between water and rock, compounded by the adverse impact of climate change. It should be noted that during this period the average temperature is 26°C and sometimes temperature values exceeding 40°C are recorded. In addition, industrial discharges into the Seybouse Wadi occur without pre-treatment, leading to water pollution by heavy metals. The results of the analyzes of the Seybouse Wadi waters show the presence of pollutants such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper and nutrients in the upstream zone (Guelma region). In the downstream area (Annaba) we notice the presence of pollutants such as chromium, lithium, iron, manganese and nutrients.
of Things (IoT) technologies. The article aims to provide a classification of scientific research relating to artificial intelligence in smart city issues and to identify emerging directions of future research. A systematic literature review based on bibliometric analysis of Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted for the study. Research query included TITLE-ABS-KEY (“smart city” AND “artificial intelligence”) in the case of Scopus and TS = (“smart city” AND “artificial intelligence”) in the case of the Web of Sciences database. For the purpose of the analysis, 3101 publication records were qualified. Based on bibliometric analysis, seven research areas were identified: safety, living, energy, mobility, health, pollution, and industry. Urban mobility has seen significant innovations through AI applications, such as autonomous vehicles (AVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), yet security concerns persist, necessitating further research in this area. AI’s impact extends to energy management and sustainability practices, demanding standardised regulations to guide future research in renewable energy adoption and developing integrated local energy systems. Additionally, AI’s applications in health, environmental management, and the industrial sector require further investigation to address data handling, privacy, security, and societal implications, ensuring responsible and sustainable digitisation in smart cities.
chemistry, its evolution in space and time according to the variation of water physicochemical parameters and the content of trace metals (Pb, Fe, and Zn). In general, Essouk stream are highly sulphated (reached 598.56 mg/L) and have an elevated salinity, resulting in a high conductivity (1925 μS/cm) and presented a low pH (3.01). In addition, Fe, Pb and Zn contents reached 5.17 mg/L, 2.05 mg/L and 4.05 mg/L, respectively. Such results were linked to the bedrock of Sidi Kambar that is composed of galena, pyrite and sphalerite.
separately making a chain of insulators for a total of 10 models. Later they are imported to COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software, simulations of the 1512L insulator were made to see the effect the pollution has and the differences that occur on the distribution with the addition of more insulators in the chain. The potential distribution starts to develop a pattern after a certain number of insulators in the chain while the pollution induces high value spikes in the field distribution. Finite-element-analysis for numerical simulation of the pollution effect in outdoor insulators: a review and a novel method.
