Abstract. Ecological danger from uncontrolled accumulation of arboreal wastes in the region of Pokuttia–Bukovyna Carpathians has been estimated. The optimum terms of wood wastes drying in an immobile layer have been studied. The optimum conditions for getting fuel brequettes from wood wastes by the pressing method havw been set. Lignin-containing industrial wastes have been used as a relating component. The principal technological scheme has been offered for fuel granules production from wood wastes by the pressing method.

Key words: wood wastes, pressing, fuel brequettes, utilization, the Pokuttia–Bukovyna Carpathians.

Abstract. This paper will update some information related to cyanotoxins detected in lake Torment, a recreational freshwater body in Nova Scotia, Canada. The goal of our paper is to present the detected toxins released by Toxic Algal Blooms and introducing the method of measurement by using the ELISA test. The results can show a very potential approach of toxin detection which could be applied in Ukraine or other countries where cyanotoxin detection in fresh and marine water ecosystems are still not well developed.

Key words: Lake Torment, Cyanobacterial blooms, Cyanotoxins, Microsystins, Anatoxin-a, ELISA test.

Abstract. The paper evaluates the potential impact of internal biogenic pollutants (phosphorus) on the trophic state of the deep, stratified Lake Swiete in Obra, Poland (area 23.3 ha, depth 15.3 m). The amount of phosphorus in interstitial water was analyzed on the basis of spatial studies of 10 cm of surface sediments of bottom sediments. It has been shown that the release of loading accumulated in the water can worsen the trophic state of the lake.

Key words: bottom sediments, eutrophication, internal loading, interstitial water, phosphorus

Abstract. The problem of permanent and prolonged pollution of soils by various kinds of pollutants, in particular heavy metals, was analyzed. Experimental investigations of penetration of copper sulfate into a vertical soil profile have been carried out. The adsorption capacity of the sandy environment of copper sulfate was experimentally determined.

Key words: pollution, soil, heavy metals, adsorption, penetration, migration.

Abstract. A method of eco-energy analysis of household refrigerating appliances based on the life cycle of GHG emission assessment is presented. A new eco-energy efficiency indicator is proposed. Calculation of the eco-energy efficiency indicator and traditional energy efficiency index for three household refrigerators has been performed. The qualitative difference in the results of comparison of these indicators for the analyzed refrigerators is shown.

Key words: GHG emission, energy-saving, life cycle analysis, household refrigerating appliance.

Abstract. The studies were conducted in batch mode in thirteen repetitions at humidity of 78, 80, 82 and 84 %. The coefficient of variation of methane production varied from 14.84 % to 35.17 % in a mesophilic mode and from 14.4 % to 78.21 % in a thermophilic mode, which means high instability of the process. The moisture content had a much greater effect on the stability of the process in thermophilic conditions than in mesophilic ones.

Key words: methanogenesis, methane fermentation, chicken manure, adaptation, biogas production, dry fermentation.
