“…In such conditions, the fish confront difficult conditions for hiking up and down the watercourse, and, in the event of inappropriate construction solutions, they can be significantly damaged or even killed after passing through the HP (Mueller et al 2017). However, other factors, such as river pollution, navigation and uncontrolled fishing also affect ichthyofauna (Benejam et al 2014;Rosik-Dulewska, Ciesielczuk & Krysiński 2012). Moreover, such a change in environmental conditions is not indifferent to other aspects that are not purely only environmental -for example, conditions for recreation or distribution of drinking water, which can be facilitated or impeded by changes in river continuity (Branche 2017).…”

Hydropower use of watercourses has tangible consequences for the environment, society and economy. Based on a literature review and their own research, the authors present current data on changes in the ecological status of waters within run-of-river and reservoir hydropower plants, i.e. changes in biological elements (benthic macroinvertebrates, plankton, ichthyofauna, macrophytes), as well as hydromorphological and physicochemical changes. Previous researchers have noted that the impact of hydropower use of rivers on ecological status of those rivers is extensive, consisting of, among others, changes in species structure and populations of macrophytes, benthic macroinvertebrates, plankton and ichthyofauna (positive as well as negative changes), algal blooms due to increased turbidity, constrained migration of water organisms, changes in temperature within hydroelectric power plants, the phenomenon of supersaturation, eutrophication, changes in hydrological conditions (e.g., increased amplitudes of diurnal water levels and their consequent annual reduction), and increased erosion below the damming and deposition of bottom sediments on the damming barriers. In addition to such changes in ecological status, hydropower use also has a visible impact on socio-economic conditions (e.g., living standards of the population) and the environment (e.g., quality of bottom sediments and biodiversity). The article offers an assessment of the impact of hydropower use of rivers on ecological status (biological, hydromorphological, physicochemical elements and hydrological conditions of such rivers), society, economy and environment; it also proposes a research scheme to assess the impact of hydropower structures.

The aim of the study was to determine the time-delayed (after three years from the moment of soil pollution)effectofpetroleum-derivedproducts(PDPs)(petrol,dieselfuelandusedengineoil)ontheinteraction between selected host plant (broad bean) and a herbivorous insect closely related to it (Sitona spp.). We assessed the condition of the plant exposed to pollutants (i.e. its growth and chemical composition), then we evaluated theattractivenessoftheplantforbothlarvaeandadultsoftheinsect.Theevaluationcoveredalsotheeffectof bioremediation by using ZB-01 biopreparation. The results showed that after 3 years from soil contamination, engine oil and diesel fuel limited the feeding of adult sitona weevils while petrol caused increase in the attractiveness of plantsfortheseinsects.ThePDPsnegativelyaffectedthegrowthofplants.Thechangesinelementcontentdepended onthetypeofpollutant.ThebiopreparationZB-01eliminatedorreducedthedifferencescausedbythepresenceof PDPs in the soil regarding the chemical composition of the host plant, and limited feeding by both the larvae and adult individuals of sitona weevils.

“…Given the prevalence of petroleum use, we need to be aware of the consequences of environmental pollution due to petroleum products. Particularly dangerous are disasters occurring in land and sea transport [1,2] because they cause serious point and area pollution, which negatively affects not only the ecosystems, but also the supra-local economy [1]. Petroleum-origin products penetrate the soil and then directly to waters along with sewage and stormwater that wash out the surfaces of streets and roads.…”

A B S T R A C TPetroleum compounds appear in the surface and underground water in increasing concentrations. This is due to the emergence of new risks associated with the production, transport, use, and disposal of hazardous waste substances. These pollutants have a strong toxic impact on the organism, hence they should be removed using the most effective methods. This paper deals with the removal of petroleum compounds from water using a combination of classical and membrane methods. Coagulation and reverse osmosis were applied. The study used model water, i.e. distilled water enriched with a mixture of diesel fuel and gasoline. The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of petroleum removal during the hybrid process. The model water was subject to the coagulation process using Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·18H 2 O, then filtered and subjected to the reverse osmosis process. Determination of petroleum hydrocarbons in the model water was made after coagulation and reverse osmosis.
