Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Soil contamination by petroleum substances in the vicinity of oil production wells(2016) Wartak, Joanna; Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Knapik, Ewa; Rychlicki, StanisławThe paper presents the study of various indicators of soil contamination by petroleum substances from the area of active exploitation of oil deposits in the south of Poland. Nineteen studied soil samples were taken directly around the production wells (0–1 m) or their vicinity (1–7 m) at a depth of 0.1 to 0.3 m. Collected samples were tested for the presence of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. An analysis of the content of these chemical compounds in the soil samples was performed by gas chromatography. The observed results were interpreted to determine the hazard for the natural environment and human health. The evaluation of soil samples was based on the new Regulation of the Ministry of Environment of 1 September 2016 regarding the assessment of contamination of the surface of the earth (Journal of Laws 2016 Nr 0, item 1395) as well as guidelines presented by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (ISSPC).Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Water resources and climate change - groundwater as an alternative source of water supply(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Winid, Bogumiła; Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Maruta, Michał; Solecki, MarekIn recent years, the world, including Europe, has seen a much higher incidence of extreme weather phenomena. The ongoing climatic changes have a direct impact on the condition of surface waters. Groundwater is less affected by anthropogenic pollution than surface water, since groundwater can be used in distribution systems for municipal purposes, for food purposes, sold in unit packages, and for medicinal purposes (in drinking and bathing treatments). In Poland, a country with poor water resources, the problem of water scarcity due to climate change may even increase. One solution to this problem may be the increased use of Polish groundwater resources. Hydrogeological conditions favorable to the construction of drill wells, detailed identification of available groundwater resources throughout the country and the low degree of their usage (25% on average) make it possible to increase the intake of groundwater to cover this water deficit, especially in periods of drought.Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Assessment of the quality of surface water from selected area of active oil exploitation(2015) Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Knapik, Ewa; Rychlicki, Stanisław; Stopa, JerzyIn this work, the studies of various physico-chemical parameters of surface waters originated from the selected area of oil exploitation in the south of Poland are presented. The water samples were collected from streams and ponds or directly from surface tanks situated in the vicinity of operating wells. The observed values of different parameters like pH, odor, color, turbidity, electroconductivity, concentration of sulfate, chloride, nitrate, iron, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, alkanity, dissolved oxygen or petroleum contamination of samples were compared with standard values recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the relevant Polish Regulation. Preliminary studies show that investigated surface waters are slightly affected by anthropogenic pollution. The main two sources of contamination of water from the study area are agriculture and mining industry.Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , The chemistry and quality of water from the artesian wells of the Jurassic aquifer in Krakow(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2014) Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Winid, Bogumiła; Maruta, Michał; Chmura-Skirlińska, AntoninaSelected quality parameters of groundwater from four artesian wells of the Jurassic aquifer located in the center of Krakow (Cracow) are presented. Water from these public wells i.e. <i>Nadzieja</i>, <i>Jagielloński</i>, <i>Królewski</i> and <i>Lajkonik</i>, during 20 years of exploitation, has had constant bacteriological purity and rather constant chemical composition. A comparison of nitrates concentration in the investigated wells with Quaternary wells located in the same area, and with municipal drinking water in Krakow shows that water from the above-mentioned four wells is characterized by the lowest concentration of NO3 ions. Very low nitrate and nitrite concentration suggests that despite passage of time the chemical composition of water from the investigated intakes is not affected by anthropogenic pollution because of isolation of water reservoir due to geological conditions.
