The environmental situation in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe is largely the legacy of an industrial and productivist vision of the relationship with nature, wars also having played a part in certain types of damage. As an example, 65% of river water in Poland is so heavily polluted that it cannot even be used by industry. Mining, chem...
Risk assessment of contaminated sites depends fundamentally on the data available about the characteristics of the sites, including contaminant sources, pathaways and the potential receptors that may be at risk. The ultimate aim of the site investigation is to provide appropriate and reliable data against which to assess risks to chosen receptors w...
Waste water with high nitrate (1000 2500 mg NO3- l-1) and ammonia (> 200 mg NH4+ l-1) contained denitrifying bacteria (103 CFU ml-1). Laboratory experiments were done using chalk-fixed biofilms reactors, that simulated the natural pathway of the polluted aquifer, to define a suitable in situ treatment. The inoculum adapted well to the very high n...
The migration of zinc through river bank sediments is studied in column experiments. Even when the initial dissolved zinc is low enough to prevent precipitation of zinc minerals in the column, adsorption processes strongly retard the transport of the metal with respect to water. Organic matter, when dissolved, can significantly increase the mobilit...
L'envasement des cours d'eau dans le département du Nord est important de par la topographie, plane, l'érosion des sols, ainsi que par une forte densité de population (2,5 Millions d'habitants) et d'industries.
