“…Studies on the cosmetics or on their components stability usually include and focus on different accelerated storage conditions under which the samples are kept, in elevated temperature (37, 40 or 45 °C), during different periods of time (1 to 3 months), depending on the product type [24][25][26][27][28][29]. In this study, the aspect, color, fragrance, pH and density were monitored in conditions of temperature variation from 5 to 40 °C, during a period of 2 months.…”

The products used in cosmetic formulations are continuously diversifying as a result of researches in the field, which combine the healing and prevention of many skin conditions with the use of natural products such as vegetable extracts and essential oils. Testing the stability and compatibility of new or modified cosmetics is required to ensure that quality standards are met when stored in proper conditions for functionality and aesthetics, to preserve their chemical, microbiological and physical properties. In this study, the stability and compatibility of a new cosmetic product containing lavender essential oil in plastic container-plastic jar 100 mL PPH Polypropylene homopolymer (Moplen HP648T) is tested against the glass receptacle used as a control. The monitored parameters were organoleptic characteristics (appearance, color, fragrance), physicochemical (pH, density), under controlled temperature conditions, and the microbiological ones. The results of this study showed that the tested cosmetic product is compatible with the plastic container; data obtained were comparable with the organoleptic and physicochemical test results obtained in the case of the control sample stored at room conditions.

“…In order to measure resistance of the construction materials, two methods were used. Whereas the MIKROTEST method [9] was used to measure their resistance to liquid mustard gas, the MINITEST method [10][11][12][13] was used to measure their resistance to mustard gas in form of vapours. For the detection of mustard gas, both methods use an indicator paper which is made from sufficiently thick white paper that produces neutral leachates and is impregnated with a water-ethanol solution (1:1) of Congo red with the concentration of 0.1% and with a 1.5% solution of CNITI-8 [N-chloro-N-(2tolyl)benzamide] in carbon tetrachloride.…”

When working in a contaminated area while wearing individual protective equipment, there is a high risk of overheating and dehydration. In accordance with the valid documents of the Army of the Czech Republic, a person using protective equipment has to be provided with an adequate fluid intake. To perform the work, it is necessary to equip the soldier with a hydration device that is resistant to chemical warfare agents and is structured in a way that allows its use when means of personal protection or other equipment is used. The aim of the experimental work was to verify resistance of the construction materials of hydration devices and to compare them. For this purpose, devices designed to provide resistance to chemical warfare agents and those that did not provide it were tested. To determine breakthrough times of selected materials, the MIKROTEST and the MINITEST methods were used.

“…This means it must be present in the terrain and will thus require planning, organization, and fulfillment of tasks of decontamination of terrain [22][23][24]. Based on monitoring of the meteorological situation in the place of incident (leakage, accident), an impact area and an endangered area were defined [25,26]. Apart from these spaces, it is necessary to find suitable places for the deployment of decontamination site (DS) according to the following conditions [27]: The abovementioned conditions are established as optimal.…”

Multi-criterial analysis under the current use of digital geographic data is a quite common method used to evaluate the influence of the geographic environment on a planned or ongoing activity. The advantage of this method is a possibility of complex evaluation of all influences as well as a possibility to observe how the individual influences manifest in the final result. Its critical moment is establishing the structure of individual factors that influence the given activity, setting their weights and, subsequently, a choice of a suitable user function. The article provides guidelines how to set the individual decision-making criteria including setting their weights, and the application of the resulting user function in GIS environment with regards to the problem solved. Furthermore, the influence of change in weights of criteria on the complete result of the analysis is discussed. This article documents detailed studies that show how the results of solutions can differ in the same analytical task based on change in the weights of individual criteria. These studies are documented on a model example of a chosen suitable place for the deployment of decontamination center. Finally, the article describes possibilities of further development of the model solution, with the aim to make it a verified tool that may be implemented in the systems of command in Fire Rescue Service units and Chemical Troops units of the Czech Army.
