W artykule przedstawiono analizę niepewności zrealizowaną dla wskaźnika emisji metanu z górnictwa węgla kamiennego w Polsce. Posłużono się wytycznymi międzynarodowej metodyki inwentaryzacji emisji gazów cieplarnianych oraz dostępnymi danymi pochodzącymi z pomiarów CH4 zrealizowanych w kopalniach w Polsce zarządzanych przez jedną z krajowych spółek wydobywczych. Zauważono, że wartość wskaźnika emisji CH4 oszacowane z wykorzystaniem fragmentarycznych danych może znacznie różnić się od średniej wartości wykorzystanej na potrzeby prowadzenia krajowej inwentaryzacji emisji gazów cieplarnianych, niemniej jednak oszacowanie przedziału ufności dla wskaźnika emisji oraz jego podstawowych właściwości statystycznych może znaleźć zastosowanie w oszacowaniu wielkości emisji krajowej CH4 do powietrza.

The paper presents the uncertainty analysis performed for the methane (CH4) emission factor from coal mining in Poland. The analysis is carried out in line with the international guidelines on the air emission inventory. Results are obtained using the measurement data acquired from selected Polish coal mines managed by the one of coal mining companies. It is noted that the CH4 emission factor may be significantly different from the mean value applied for purposes of fulfilling of international obligations. Nevertheless, the estimation of the confidence interval along with the basic statistical properties of the emission factor can be applied for purposes of the national CH4 emission inventory elaborated under the Climate Convention.

Zieleń jest istotnym elementem współczesnego miasta. Chcąc zapewnić zrównoważony rozwój miastu należy zadbać o jej kondycję i odpowiedni udział w przestrzeni miasta. Dla efektywnego zarządzania zielenią niezbędna jest informacja o niej, w tym informacja o środowisku jej życia. Informację taką można uzyskać wykorzystując nowoczesne metody obrazowania i narzędzia GIS. Jednymi z ważniejszych źródeł informacji o zieleni stają się obecnie cyfrowe zdjęcia i chmury punktów z lotniczego i naziemnego skaningu laserowego. Usługi dotyczące zieleni opracowane w oparciu o takie dane zaprezentowane w układzie 2D i 3D dają pełną informację o stanie zieleni i jej potrzebach.

Greenery is an important element of a modern city. In order to ensure balanced development of the city, it is necessary to take care of its condition and proper participation in the city space. For the effective management of greenery, information about it, including information about its living environment, is necessary. Such information can be obtained using modern imaging methods and GIS tools. Digital photos and point clouds from aerial and terrestrial laser scanning are now becoming one of the most important sources of information about greenery. Greenery services developed on the basis of such data, presented in 2D and 3D, provide full information about the state of greenery and its needs.

The paper presents selected aspects of calculations and modelling of variograms from measurements of soil surface magnetic susceptibility for rapid screening of surface soil contamination with Technogenic Magnetic Particles (TMP). In particular, the methodology of variogram analysis in the case of multiple magnetometric measurements in one measurement location with the use of the MS2D Bartington sensor was discussed. A new approach to analysing such measurements was proposed that allows determining and using the nugget effect from standard, already existing measurements. This is of key importance for the quality of spatial analyses, and thus the screening results obtained by means of field magnetometry. In the paper, it was shown, step by step, that averaging the measurements performed at one measurement point during the calculation of the empirical variograms does not result in the loss of information on spatial variability in the microscale. As it was calculated non-averaged measurements were characterised by the nugget-to-sill ratio of about 96 % which was much higher than in the case of averaged measurements (close to 0 %). A range of correlation was similar in both cases and was equal to about 300 m - 400 m. The local variogram revealed a range of correlation of about 80 cm. As a result, the screening results are more reliable than is the case with the traditional procedure. An additional advantage of the work was the performance of all calculations in free R software.

The study presents the possibility of using geostatistical methods for monitoring groundwater quality. Poland is one of the largest copper producers in the world. However, the extraction and production of copper requires constant care for the natural environment. Reservoir Żelazny Most which is situated in South – Western Poland was designed to store flotation tailings out of nearby copper mines. It is one of the biggest industrial dumps in the world. The reservoir stores huge amounts of tailings and industrial water. Water migrating from dump to groundwater could be a potential source of contamination with chlorides, sulphates, heavy metals, and other hazardous substances used in ore separation process in the copper mining industry, like detergent and phenols. Monitoring system around Żelazny Most dump, which was designed to track harmful substances concentrations in groundwater, contains measuring wells and piezometers. They are used to collect groundwater samples for chemical analyses. The idea of the study was to integrate information provided by chemical analyses and geoelectrical measurements by cokriging method, utilizing correlation between electrical resistance of the soil solution and total dissolved solids concentration in groundwater. This enabled to obtain spatial distribution of total dissolved solids concentrations in groundwater at the part of eastern foreground of Żelazny Most dump.

W artykule w przystępny sposób przedstawiono wybrane zagadnienia związane z metodą krigingu zwyczajnego, szeroko wykorzystywaną do estymacji zasobów górniczych. W szczególności opisano te jej właściwości, które choć zazwyczaj mniej znane to decydują o przydatności tej metody i umożliwiają kontrolę dokładności uzyskanych wyników. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono zastosowaniom roli wariancji krigingu, będącej miarą dokładności wyników otrzymanych za pomocą metody krigingu, oraz możliwości jej zastosowania do planowania sieci pomiarowych.

The article presents, in an approachable way, selected issues related to the method of the ordinary kriging, which is widely used for the estimation of mining resources. In particular, such properties of the ordinary kriging were described, which are usually less known but determine its usefulness and accuracy. Particular attention was paid to the role of kriging variance, which is a measure of the accuracy of results obtained using the ordinary kriging. The possibility of using the kriging variance for planning measurement networks was also discussed.

The paper summarizes previous studies associated with carrying out of the air pollutant emission inventories. There are presented three approaches for obtaining monthly distribution of PM10 air emission: using expert’s judgement, modelling of the heating demand, and temporal disaggregation using the heating degree days (HDD). However some differences due to not considering hot water demand, it can be effectively used for obtaining temporal, and spatiotemporal distributions of air pollutants’ air emissions necessary for air quality modelling.

Post-industrial and post-mining areas have often been under strong anthropogenic pressure for a long time. As a result, such areas, after the ending of industrial activity require taking steps to revitalize them. It may cover many elements of the natural or urban environment, such as water, soil, vegetated areas, urban development etc. To carry out revitalization, it is necessary to determine the initial state of such areas, often using selected chemical, geophysical or ecological. After that it is also important to properly monitor the state of such areas to assess the progress of the revitalization process. For this purpose a variety of change detection technics were developed. Post-industrial areas are very often characterized by a large extent, are difficult to access, have complicated land cover. For this reason, it is particularly important to choose appropriate methods to assess the degree of pollution of such areas. Such methods should be as economical as possible and time-effective. A very desirable feature of such methods is that they should allow a quick assessment of the entire area. Geostatistics supplemented by modern remote sensing can be effective for this purpose. Nowadays, using remote sensing, it is possible to gather information simultaneously from the entire, even vast area, with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution. Geostatistics in turn provides many tools that are able to enable rapid analysis and inference based on even very complicated often scarce spatial data sets obtained from ground measurement and satellite observations. The goal of the article was to present selected results obtained using geostatistical methods also related to remote sensing, which may be helpful for decision makers in revitalizing post-industrial and post-mining areas. The results described in this paper were based mostly on the previous studies, carried out by authors.

The paper presents the quick look on the possible consequences associated with the spatial data manipulations in air emission inventories. The study area is the Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area, located in the southern part of Poland, where the substantial part of dwellers is supplied with the heat from the district heating system. Is shown that skipping some spatial information, or use of incomplete/obsolete data sets can make the uncertainties of the CO2 emission inventory from the residential sector almost ten times bigger in particular areas. Uncertainties tend to increase along with the number of spatial transformations.

Soil contamination with rare earth metals (REE) can have both direct and indirect connection with industrial activity and ore-exploration. In the studies conducted so far, the presence of rare earth elements in coal seams, coal combustion waste as well as fly ash was found. It is important that detailed studies of the REE content in soil were not carried out in Poland. Until now, in a few studies, a high content of cerium and lanthanum was found in relation to the average content of the torn ones in the world. This work focuses on the areas under the influence of the industry associated with the extraction and combustion of hard coal, but also with other types of industry. Analyzes of REE content in soil were conducted in selected areas of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region and Norway, located near the Bjornevatn mine. In study areas, soil samples were collected and used for chemical and magnetometric measurements. Firstly, concentrations of REE were determined, and after that soil samples were used to measure soil magnetic susceptibility. Finally, statistical analyses were performed in order to check the correlation between REE concentrations in soil and soil magnetic susceptibility.

Content available remote Multipurpose usage of magnetic proppants during shale gas exploitation
EN
Magnetic material may be added to proppant, as the magnetic marker allows to determine the range and efficiency of hydraulic fracturing. However, magnetic proppant may be also used in flowback fluid treatment and monitoring of environmental pollution. As a result of shale gas hydraulic fracturing, large volume of flowback fluid is created. Flow back fluid have similar properties to fracturing fluid, but it is potentially enriched with large amount of salts and organic compounds leached from shale. Magnetic proppant may serve as a heterogeneous catalyst during organic pollutants decomposition. Additionally, in case of leakage and consequently the fracturing fluid pollution, magnetic proppant is placed into the soil environment. It can be detected using magnetometric methods. This article discusses the above-mentioned issues based on the knowledge and experience of the authors and the literature review.
