The Carpathian region is distinguished by a high tourist flow and variety of hotels. The need for consumption of quality drinking water for tourists and local population is determined. Underground sources and wells constitute a water supply of accommodation facilities in this region. The issue of drinking water quality in the Carpathians remains poorly studied. It is necessary to realize the landscape, the content of heavy metals in the rocks, the differences in elevation, and tourist flow that can cause diffusion pollution. Sources of water supply in the tourist area of the Ukrainian Carpathians are the subject of the article. The sociological survey of the owners of local tourist accommodation facilities showed that 17.5% use surface sources, 48.8% use underground sources, 32.5% use mixed sources, 56.2% of respondents dispose of sewage disposal without proper water reclamation. We took samples of drinking water from sources, wells in this region and analyzed such indicators as pH, temperature, altitude, nitrates and nitrites, phosphates, ammonium, and mineralization. Sensafe’s visual membrane tests for drinking water determined heavy metals such as Cu, Ni, Co, Zn, Cd, Hg, Fe in the water samples. The functional dependence of the content of heavy metals and the altitude zonation of drinking water sources for the region іs described by the equation y = -0.059ln(x) + 0.4219.

The research analyzed seasonal changes of the oxygen regime and related indicators on the example of water objects of the Ukrainian Polesie Region. The region shows different directions of economic use. Zebrafish (Danio rerio Hamilton–Buchanan) and the Prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch) were used as test objects to investigate survival responses. Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in water, pH values and temperatures were determined by standard methods. Based on research results, the main problems were determined pertaining to the oxygen regime of investigated waters, i.e. the increase in temperature and toxicity of the aquatic environment in the summer. A rather dangerous decrease in DO concentration, almost up to the levels of maximum allowable concentration (MAC) (4.10 mg∙dm–3 in group E1 and 6.07 mg∙dm–3 in group E2), was observed in August and it was typical for the reservoirs with a slow water movement. Flowing river waters (group E3) were eliminated due to their better aeration compared to other groups. The correlation analysis based on the presented data revealed a high and average degree of probable correlation between the DO concentration and water temperature, as well as an average degree of correlation with general toxicity determined on sensitive species of D. rerio, and in group E1 on the persistent species C. auratus gibelio as well. The interrelations and equations of the rectilinear regression can be used to predict the oxygen regime of the waters investigated and other surface waters having similar problems.

Celem pracy było przedstawienie zmian stężeń cynku w wodach i osadach Zbiornika Goczałkowickiego na przestrzeni lat oraz porównanie z tłem geochemicznym. Zbadano również sezonowość występowania cynku w wodach i potwierdzono jej występowanie w niektórych przypadkach. Przedstawiono średnie ładunki cynku w wodach dopływających do zbiornika. Próbki ze zbiornika były pobierane raz na miesiąc w latach od 1994 do 2013. Próbki osadów były pobierane w czterech punktach zbiornika. W celu zweryfikowania stawianych hipotez przeprowadzono analizę statystyczną. Badania oparte o wartości progowe kryterium ekotoksykologicznego pokazują, że nie tylko wody, ale także osady zbiornika zawierają znaczące ilości cynku i istnieje możliwość jego negatywnego wpływu na organizmy wodne. Źródła cynku podzielono na naturalne i antropogeniczne. Zbiornik Goczałkowicki leży w południowej Polsce. Jest narażony na działalność przemysłową. W jego pobliżu znajdują się również hodowlane stawy rybne. Także rolnictwo i nieskanalizowane tereny dostarczają cynk do wód i osadów. To tłumaczy zawartość tego pierwiastka w środowisku wodnym Zbiornika Goczałkowickiego. Największy ładunek lego pierwiastka jest wprowadzany do zbiornika przez największy dopływ - rzekę Wisłę.

The purpose of this paper was to show how the concentration of zinc changed in the waters and sediments of the Goczałkowice Reservoir over the years and to compare these changes with the geochemical background. Seasonal occurrence of zinc in water was also examined and in some cases the test results were positive. The paper reports 011 the average quantities of zinc in the waters flowing into the reservoir. Reservoir samples were taken once every month from 1994 to 2013. There were four places in the reservoir from where sediment samples were taken. Statistical analysis was performed to verify the proposed hypotheses. The tests based on the ecotoxicological threshold values show that not only the waters, but also the sediments of the reservoir contain significant amounts of zinc and that there is a possibility that zinc has a negative effect on aquatic organisms. The sources of zinc were divided into natural and anthropogenic. The Goczałkowice Reservoir is located in southern Poland. It is exposed to industrial activity, and there are fish ponds located in its vicinity. Agricultural activity and non-sewerage areas introduce zinc into water and sediments, which explains its presence in the aquatic environment of the Goczałkowice Reservoir. The highest quantities of zinc arc introduced into the reservoir by its largest tributary, the Vistula River.

Audyt systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy będący formą i narzędziem kontrolingu postrzegany jest jako badanie mające na celu określenie, czy działania podejmowane oraz osiągnięte rezultaty odpowiadają planowanym ustaleniom, czy ustalenia te zostały wdrożone i czy są one odpowiednie do przyjętej polityki w obszarze bhp. W artykule omówione zostały wyniki badań audytowych SZBHP przeprowadzonych w latach 2006÷2011 na grupie respondentów – pracowników oddziału przewozowego GPD KWK „X”. Jako metoda badawcza posłużyła ankieta MERIT.

Temporal variations (1994-98) in nutrient distribution were analysed in the break Polish sector of the Baltic Sea with reference to long-term (1979-98) fluctuations of hydrological and chemical factors. Between 1994 and 1998 the winter accumulation of phosphate declined noticeably in most of the regions with the exception of the Gulf of Gdansk. The winter peaks of silicate were also reduced in the offshore region and in the waters along the central Polish coast, but continued to accumulate in the bays owing to riverine input. In the offshore region a decrease in the winter accumulation of nitrate was noted in the surface water layer whereas in the bays nitrate concentrations continued to increase. Large quantities of nitrate continue to accumulate in the Gulf of Gdansk, although at a slower rate than in 1979-93.
