Cement is widely used for building construction and infrastructural purposes. In the last thirteen years, this productâs global annual production has increased by 78 percent, to 4,200 Mtpa. However, cement factories have been found to be harmful to air quality, plantations, and houses. Dust emission occurs through all the stages of cement production, such as storage, frying, packing, and even in the transportation stage. Cement factories cause environmental contamination worldwide, including in developed countries facing problems related to managing and controlling pollution, and also enforcing stringent legislation to prevent it. By reviewing different studies concerning cement plant emissions, we observed that various mathematical and statistical models have been applied to analyse and determine the effect of these emissions on the environment. Our study is focused on these analytical and statistical methods for analysing gaseous pollutant and particulate matter emissions from various pollution sources, especially cement plants. Identifying the elements of emissions and the development stages of other authorsâ analysis methods allowed us to conduct the most precise report possible. Our study also depicts the determinants of these strategies and their advantages, limitations, and implementation variables. The findings of these other studies were discussed, and it was discovered that the output differed depending on the technique used. The frameworks utilised ranged from using a single model to two or more models, in order to compare or combine them. GIS was used as an additional tool to improve the modelâs functionality in several studies. Some authors used programming languages such as Python and R to make their models more realistic.

Abstract:In recent years, the European Union is putting a growing emphasis on constructing agricultural biogas plants, especially in the Czech-Polish border region. In this region, there are large areas of agricultural land which can provide biomass as a substrate used in biogas plants. Biogas plants connected to cogeneration units are a useful renewable source of thermal and electrical energy, but they can cause also some problems. Probably the most serious issue is that inadequately technologically operated biogas plants are the source of unpleasant odour which may affect the surrounding population. Therefore, we prepared a continuation of our educational course focused on biogas plants intended for a study program "Physico-technical Measurements and Computer Technology" at the Faculty of Science at the University of Hradec Kralove and for the education of internshipers from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology at the University of Opole. In this part of the course, the students will learn about the problems with odour released from inadequately technologically operated biogas plants and about the ways how to measure and model the odour contamination in the vicinity of the odour source. An important part of this educational course is a practical exercise on the mathematical modelling of odour contamination from an inadequately technologically operated agricultural biogas plant. Thus, the students will be able to perform the odour modelling using the SYMOS'97 methodology which is approved and used as an official tool for air pollution modelling in the Czech Republic. Students will learn that a biogas plant which is well-operated and correctly located in relation to local hydrometeorological conditions does not annoy local residents by odour.

“…The Sanitary rules imperatively demanded "a reduction in effects produced by pollution on ambient air (chemical, biological, and physical) down to levels established by the existing hygienic standards, and for enterprises belonging to the hazard category I or II, both down to levels established by the existing hygi-enic standards and to levels of acceptable risks for population health" 3 . The document made it possible to involve large business and experts on spatial planning and urban development as stakeholders in risk assessment and analysis of its results [17,18].…”

Health Risk Analysis

The article focuses on generalizing Russian scientific and methodical developments aimed at updating and supplementing the health risk assessment methodology. This methodology is a key component in tackling tasks related to providing sanitary-epidemiological welfare of the population. Russian approaches to risk assessment are shown to have a significant peculiarity, which is a wide use of methods of multidimensional statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, fuzzy logic, and their combinations. The most significant Russian scientific innovations include development of qualitative risk assessment, non-carcinogenic health risks included; severity of health disorders taken into account in risk assessment; methodical support for assessing integral risks under exposure to heterogeneous environmental factors. Russian experts suggested and developed an idea that it was possible to model evolution of risks and their growth under changing exposures. Approaches to assessing risks evolution under long-term exposure to variable factors made it possible to solve a whole set of applied hygienic tasks. In addition to establishing qualitative characteristics of non-carcinogenic risks under exposure to chemicals, methods for assessing risks under exposure to environmental noise, certain lifestyle factors and factors related to work process have also been substantiated and implemented. Progressive development of the health risk assessment methodology ensured operative, smooth and effective transitions of control and surveillance activities performed by Rospotrebnadzor onto a fundamentally new control platform that relies on the risk-based model. Obviously, analytical opportunities offered by the health risk assessment methodology are extensive. Development of methodical grounds in hygiene and epidemiology as well as design of applied algorithms and approaches to risk assessment and management based on the fundamental methodology should involve several trends. We should extend our knowledge on mechanisms of health disorders under exposure to heterogeneous environmental factors and work-related ones; hygienic standardization needs improvement; we should apply situational modeling and prediction of sanitary-epidemiological welfare under changing or preset conditions; we should provide substantiation for the strategic and tactical regulatory actions aimed at managing threats and risks. The experience accumulated in developing the health risk assessment methodology in variable spheres should be considered a starting point for creating new risk assessment and risk management technologies. They should give an opportunity to solve any tasks related to providing sanitary-epidemiological welfare of the population in the Russian Federation.
