Mapping of noise pollution in urbanized areas as a tool for creating a comfortable human environment
The article considers the issues of balanced functioning of urbanized territories (including urban environments) as objects of social ecology. The aim of this work is to analyze the current state of the urban environment in terms of noise pollution and the creation of thematic environmental maps of urban noise pollution. Using statistical methods, the authors justified the need for such maps and identified the main problems arising in their development. It was empirically confirmed that ...
The ecological state of the Vistula lagoon using indicators of water quality and eutrophication
The Vistula Lagoon is a transboundary lagoon of the Baltic Sea that is subject to significant pollution and water eutrophication. An assessment of the ecological condition of the lagoon was conducted based on the calculation of modern Russian and foreign water pollution indices for the period 2007—2022. The long-term variability of these parameters ...
International legal protection of marine environment from vessel-source pollution
This article analyses the basic norms of international law on the protection of marine environment from vessel-source pollution. The universal and regional levels of legal regulation of preventing marine environment pollution are identified. Special attention is paid to the status of the Baltic Sea as a “special area” and as a “particularly sensitive sea area”....
Estimation of Natural Protection of Groundwater in the Kaliningrad Region
This paper makes an attempt to divide the territory of the region according to the degree of groundwater protection. Protection against pollution is provided by the tight sediment layer that prevents the penetration of contaminants from the surface into the aquifer. The author distinguishes areas of insufficient natural protection, potentially dangerous in terms of certain types of chemical ...
The antioxidant status of plants in the conditions of urban cadmium pollution
This article analyses the level of antioxidants (water-soluble antioxidants, carotenoids, and anthocyanins) in plants under the conditions of environmental cadmium pollution. The authors emphasise excessive background concentration of cadmium in plant samples collected in Kaliningrad and note a positive correlation between cadmium concentration and traffic intensity. A negative
correlation between the Cd content ...
The improvement of law enforcement activities in the field of environmental security in Russia
... world, economic activities have a significant negative effect on environmental security. The human impact on the environment is a result of gross violations of environmental laws. The law enforcement measures introduced in the field of environmental pollution often prove to be ineffective. The complications associated with identifying environmental crimes and concrete offenders result in increasing latency of environmental crimes. There is a need to decrease their latency in Russia through improving ...
Research methodology and geoecological assessment of watersheds of small water currents of polder lands in the Kaliningrad region
Chemical pollution of watercourses can be considered as one of the integral indicators of the geoecological state of the catchment area. Such an indicator is most likely to be taken into account in the two-way interaction of a person with watercourses, both for ...
The transformation of roadside geosystems of the Smolensk region under the impact of motor transport complex
This article shows that the annual increase in traffic in the Smolensk region affects the environmental features of roadside land pollution by oil products, heavy metals, waste, calcium chloride, and magnesium. The author emphasizes an increase in traffic accidents and road-traffic fatality on the Moscow — Minsk international route. The environmental — geographical situation ...
Emission levels and identification of NOx and SO2 sources in the South-eastern Baltic on the results of observations at the background monitoring station Diabla Góra (Poland)
The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of emissions and identify the sources of NOx and SO2 pollution in a rural station in the south-eastern Baltic (Diabla Gora). This analysis was conducted using hourly NOx and SO2 concentration data and meteorological variables (wind speed and direction), which were analyzed over a period of four years (2018—2021)....
