AIR POLLUTION IN THE BASE STATIONS OF THE INTEGRATED NATURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE BASE OF HEAVY METALS AND SULPHUR CONCENTRATIONS IN LICHEN HYPOGYMNIA PHYSODES IN 2007
Katarzyna Sawicka-Kapusta, Marta Zakrzewska, Gabriela Bydłoń, Anna Pizło, Agnieszka Marek
Summary
In 2007 air pollution by heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe Cr, Ni) and SO2 in the Base Station of Integrated Nature Monitoring System was estimated using lichen Hypogymnia physodes as bioindicator. In July 2007 lichen samples from natural environment were collected in six Base Stations (Puszcza Borecka, Wigry, Storkowo, Pożary, Św.Krzyż, Szymbark). During winter season 2006/2007 and summer season 2007 lichens Hypogymnia physodes were transplanted for six months to three Base Stations (Koniczynka, Św. Krzyż, Szymbark). Different air pollution of the Base Stations were found. The lowest concentrations of the most of analysed heavy metals were found in Storkowo and Wigry Base Station. A high concentration of cadmium and lead, higher than in 2005, were found in lichen collected in Puszcza Borecka. Base Stations located in central and southern part of Poland had higher concentrations of heavy metals mainly cadmium lead and iron than those from the North of the country. In the all Base Stations high concentrations of sulphur were found which confirm air contamination by sulphur dioxide. No statistical differences in metals and sulphur accumulation in transplanted lichens between winter 2006/2007 and summer 2007 seasons were found. It shows no impact of heating season on air contamination in winter 2006/2007.

SOIL PROTECTION FROM EROSION IN COUNTRYSIDE DEVELOPMENT
IN POLAND
Franciszek Woch
Summary
In the article, polish and european activities focused on rural areas development and environment modeling have been compared and analyzed. It has been stated, that in Poland, fundamental process of land modeling is still land consolidation, but in EU – complex rural areas rearrangement (based on the land consolidation).
So far, carried on in Poland land consolidation has made bad influence on agricultural environment in of soil erosion. For eliminating this disadvantageous impact, additional activities should be introduced, like antierosion melioration, aforestation, land recultivation or creating biotops.
In the article analyzed organizations (land arrangement) metod environment of soil erosion between in Poland (arrangement of agricultural road end border of a ground, transformations of land with adaptation to natural conditions – land afforestation end green lands allocation, protection antierosion afforestation, hydromeliorations with reconstruction of water level, ecological areas allocation).

MACROPHYTES AS BIOINDICATORS OF HEAVY METALS OCCURRING IN SEDIMENTS
Anna Rabajczyk, Małgorzata Anna Jóźwiak
Summary
The Water Framework Directive introduced a new approach to evaluation and classification of waters including surface ones by defining an ecological condition. According to the Water Framework Directive, physiochemical and hydromorphological criteria play only supporting role in ecological condition determination, while emphasis is placed on use of biological criteria (Soszka H., Kolada A., 2006).

THE POSSIBILITIES TO MAKE USE OF THE INTEGRATED NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT MONITORING DATAS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Alojzy Kowalkowski
Summary
The aim of this article is to present new ideas in the development of the management of organizations as a system of continuous innovations in an integrated Quality, Environment, Safety and Hygiene of Work Management System. The need of innovations has been shown, specifically in the management system. The functioning of an Integrated Monitoring of Natural Environment System as a source af data has been presented, based on it’s 15 years development. This system is capable of presenting all needed data to all government, or communal organizations, with appropriate analysis. This system has vital signifficance for the proper development of the country.

QUALITATIVE CHANGES OF SOIL WATER OUTFLOWS IN THE CONDITIONS OF REDUCED RANGE OF FERTILIZERS (ON AN EXAMPLE OF GRASSLANDS
LOCATED IN THE MOUNTAINOUS AREA)
Andrzej Jaguś
Summary
The article presents the qualitative assessment of soil water outflows leaving the grasslands located in the mountainous area (Polish Carpathians). The area taken into consideration was enriched by varied amounts of fertilizers. The research project was based on lysimetric and draining water analyses. It was established that reduced amounts of fertilizers caused a subsequent decrease in most soil macro-compounds. However, their concentrations remain in safe levels, which do not pose a threat to the environment.
