“…The basic sources of pollution from the lake catchment areas that increase eutrophication of freshwaters are agriculture, animal production and households, especially those not connected to the sewage system. Excess amounts of phosphorus compounds are the cause of blooms in water reservoirs and of the high concentrations of chlorophyll-a, which is an index of the development of phytoplankton biomass [39][40][41]. Nevertheless, the degree of eutrophication of reservoirs is directly related to the morphometric conditions of the water bodies and the size of the catchment basin.…”

Oxidative stress in fish is the result of the water quality in the ecosystem and the degree of water pollution. The aim of the study was to determine the oxidative potential in the muscles of selected fish species found in lakes with different trophy status. Values of redox indexes (MDA, Vit. C, SOD and CAT) in the muscle tissue of two native (roach (Rutilus rutilus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis)) and one invasive fish species -brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) were determined. The differences in redox indexes in muscle tissue of fish from lakes with different trophy status were noted. This indicates differentiated sensitivity of individual fish species to oxidative stress resulting from changes in water quality parameters. The changes in the redox parameters in the tissues of selected fish species were more influenced by the lake trophy than the effect resulting from interspecies differences. Fish from a hypertrophic lake had poorer meat quality due to the greater intensity of oxidation processes in relation to fish from the eutrophic lake. The present study gives the need for further studies that will take into account more fish species and a longer period of time, including changes resulting from the functioning of these reservoirs in different seasons.

“…The enrichment of water with biogenic compounds accelerates the growth of algae and other higher forms of plants, which leads to undesirable disturbance of biological water relations. The effect of the eutrophication process is the limitation of the possibility of using water to supply people's needs, and also for economic activity and recreation (Adamczyk andJachimowski 2013, Withers et al 2014). Ammonia is also highly reactive in the formation of aerosols (PM2.5) moving to large distances of over regional range (Mensink and Deutsch 2008).…”

Agriculture is a signifi cant source of gaseous pollutants such as ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide and volatile organic compounds. Ammonia is particularly important due to the high emission and local, as well as global impact on the environment. The release of NH 3 is one of the main ways of nitrogen emission to the atmosphere and it contributes to its subsequent deposition. The aim of the study was to analyze ammonia emissions from animal production in Poland in 2005-2017, its regional diversity and possibilities of its reduction in agriculture. The ammonia emission was calculated for the animal production groups according to the NFR classifi cation. The values of ammonia emission were calculated based on ammonia emission factors used by KOBIZE, in accordance with the EMEP/EEA methods. In 2017, the NH 3 emission from Polish agriculture amounted 288 Gg and it accounted for 96% of the emission in 2005. Ammonia emission from livestock production, in 2005-2017, on average accounted for 79.8% of agricultural emissions. The largest share had the cattle (51%) and swine (30%) production. The NH 3 emissions differed strongly between provinces. The emission density (kg NH 3 •km -2 •year -1 ) in provinces with intensive livestock production was about 5.5 times higher than in regions, where livestock production was the lowest. The mitigation strategies should be implemented primarily in provinces where reduction potential is the largest. The assessment of the reduction potential should take into account the NH 3 emission per 1 km 2 and the low NH 3 emission technologies, which are already applied in the regions.

The Dojlidy Ponds, which include Dojlidy water dam, are located within Bialystok city limits in Podlasie area, Poland. The reservoir with a water surface of 34 ha and average depth of 1.75 m was constructed in 1962 as a result of Biala River damming. The researches were conducted in July, October and December 2014 as well as in March 2015. Each time five test samples were collected from spots located along the reservoir. Water samples were tested for the presence of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, organic nitrogen, phosphates and organic phosphorus. The values of nutrient indicators exhibited high variability during the study period. The highest concentration of nitrite and nitrate nitrogen were observed in July, while the lowest in Octobernitrite nitrogen, and in December -nitrate nitrogen. Different situation was observed after the analysis of phosphorus forms -the highest concentrations of organic phosphorus and phosphates were observed in December and the lowest in July. Relatively high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus forms identified in water samples were most likely caused by tributaries, due to the pollution from the reservoir catchment. Technical parameters of the object and location of the reservoir have undoubtedly an impact on the tested parameters contents.
