Dissolved and gaseous nitrogen losses in forests controlled by soil nutrient stoichiometry
Oulehle, Filip; Chuman, T.; Hruška, Jakub; Krám, Pavel; Navrátil, Tomáš; Tesař, Miroslav; Ač, Alexander; Urban, Otmar
2023 - English
This study investigates the consequences of chronic nitrogen deposition in forests, including its effects on soil and surface water quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. To predict these effects, the authors explore the controls over dissolved and gaseous nitrogen fluxes in temperate forests. Their findings indicate that stream leaching losses of dissolved nitrogen correspond with the nutrient stoichiometry\nof the forest floor, with stream N losses increasing as ecosystems progress towards phosphorus limitation. Soil nitrogen storage increases with oxalate extractable iron and aluminium content. The authors estimate soil gaseous losses based on 15 N stocks, which averaged 2.5±2.2 kg N ha-1 year-1 , comprising 20±14% of total nitrogen deposition. They also extrapolate the current gaseous nitrogen loss flux from forests globally to be 8.9 Tg N year-1 , which represents 39% of current nitrogen deposition to forests worldwide.

Flow cytometric method to monitor the viability of microbial populations in drinking water
Maršálková, Eliška; Makieieva, Y.; Kovar, K.
2023 - Czech
The microbiome of natural water from an artesian well (i.e., bottled water of this origin) was characterised using a method combining staining with fluorescence dyes and cell counting by flow cytometry. These investigations revealed the microbial fingerprint of such high-quality drinking water (i.e., containing about 14 thousands cells per mL) as well as changes in total cell count (TCC), dead cell count (DCC) and the ratio of living cells with high (HNA) and low (LNA) nucleic acid content. Hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and free radicals were produced in water exposed to CaviPlazma, while cell viability was reduced, both within the original microbiome and in an inoculated laboratory culture of E. coli. In this treated water, microbial cells died, total cell counts decayed by lysis and dissolved assimilable carbon (AOC) increased. Unique findings from these laboratory experiments facilitate our understanding of the effects of oxidation processes on the viability of microorganisms as well as the potential future use of these technologies for drinking water disinfection and protection against regrowth of possible contaminants. Mikrobiom přírodní vody z artéského vrtu (tj. balené vody tohoto původu) byl charakterizován metodou kombinující fluorescenční barvení buněk a počítání buněk průtokovou cytometrií. Byla sledována změna celkového počtu buněk (TCC) (mikrobiální „otisk prstu“), počtu buněk mrtvých (DCC) a poměr živých buněk s vysokým (HNA) a nízkým (LNA) obsahem nukleových kyselin. Tato pitná voda (tj. obsahující přibližně 14 tisíc buněk na ml) byla upravena technologií CaviPlazmy, při které vznikají peroxid vodíku, ozón a volné radikály. Touto metodou se snižovala životaschopnost (viabilita) mikrobiálních buněk, jak z původního mikrobiomu, tak přidané laboratorní kultury E. coli. Buňky odumíraly, jejich celkový počet se snížil, buňky také lyzovaly a zvyšoval se tak obsah asimilovatelného uhlíku (AOC) v ošetřené vodě. Poznatky z těchto laboratorních pokusů přispívají k porozumění vlivu oxidačních procesů na životaschopnost mikrobiálních buněk a možného budoucího využití těchto technologií pro dezinfekci a ochranu proti opětovnému růstu možných kontaminantů.

Hazardous components: A case study in textile waste management
Shtukaturova, Anastasia
2023 - English
Textile waste, a problem that has been somewhat overlooked for many years, is now coming to the fore.1 The textile value chain is long\nand complex, with over 8000 chemicals used in different manufacturing processes.2 A wide variety of chemicals are used in the manufacture of textile products for the improvement of essential properties and performance of textiles. Chemicals used in textiles significantly improve their quality and appearance. However, the harmful effects of these chemicals can occur at various stages of textile production and processing, such as dyeing, printing and finishing, as well as during use by consumers and at the end-of-life stage.3 There is a lack of safety information on the presence and use of all of these chemicals in consumer products.

Properties and use of high-temperature biochar
Sedmihradská, Anežka
2023 - English
Despite being a hot topic in environmental research, biochar and its properties have been mainly investigated from the perspectives of feedstock type and pyrolysis temperature. Few studies have explored the effect of particle size on biochar properties.Even when the effect of particle size on crop efficiency is recognized, there is a lack of corresponding data and analysis.2–7 Therefore, we thoroughly analyzed (proximate and ultimate analysis, SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy) four particle size fractions (< 0.5, 0.5–2, 2–5, > 5 mm) of high-temperature biochar from a gasification power plant, the sizes reflecting those of biochar actually used in agriculture. The < 0.5 mm fraction was significantly different in terms of carbon structure, and carbon and ash content. Consequently, pH, electric conductivity and heavy metal content also differed greatly. The corresponding results for the other particle fractions were broadly similar to each other. Interestingly, for all fractions, the porosity and H/C ratio were independent of particle size, meaning that, regardless of size, the investigated biochar fractions are equally stable in soil. The 0.5–2 mm fraction was then selected to be used in different industrial or agricultural processes such as the anaerobic digestion of wastewater or livestock feeding. The effect of biochar on these processes is currently under investigation, providing only initial data so far.

Pokorná, Petra; Zíková, Naděžda; Vodička, Petr; Lhotka, Radek; Ondráček, Jakub; Schwarz, Jaroslav; Ždímal, Vladimír; Hopke, P.
2023 - Czech
The aim of this work was to determine the submicron aerosol dynamics, chemical compositions, and origins at two sites in Prague based on the particle number size distribution (PNSD) and chemical composition of 2/12/24h atmospheric aerosol samples (PM1) collected in parallel for half-year/within two seasons at two urban sites (suburban – Suchdol and traffic – Vršovice). Chemical analysis of PM1 for carbon (elemental, equivalent black – eBC and organic) by thermo-optical method and for water-soluble inorganic ions by IC was performed. For most months, both number and mass median \nconcentrations based on the SMPS data differed. Higher eBC concentrations were measured in Vršovice however eBC concentrations showed good correlation (r=0.80, yintercept=0) at the two stations. Higher average PM1 at the traffic site in summer and at the suburban site in winter, and seasonal differences in ionic PM1 composition reflected the seasonality of the local sources. Nevertheless, there were no statistically significant differences in PM1 concentration and ionic composition between the sites. Cílem této práce bylo stanovit dynamiku submikronového aerosolu, jeho chemické složení a původ na dvou lokalitách v Praze na základě distribuce velikosti částic (PNSD) a chemického složení 2/12/24h vzorků atmosférického aerosolu (PM1) odebíraných paralelně po dobu půl roku/ve dvou ročních obdobích na dvou městských lokalitách (příměstské - Suchdol a dopravní - Vršovice). Byla provedena chemická analýza PM1 na uhlík (elementární, ekvivalentní černý - eBC a organický) termooptickou metodou a na anorganické ionty rozpustné ve vodě metodou IC. U většiny měsíců byl zjištěn jak početní, tak hmotnostní medián koncentrace založené na údajích SMPS lišily. Vyšší koncentrace eBC byly naměřeny ve Vršovicích, avšak koncentrace eBC vykazovaly dobrou korelaci (r=0,80, yintercept=0) na obou stanicích. Vyšší průměrné hodnoty PM1 na dopravní lokalitě v létě a na příměstské lokalitě v zimě a sezónní rozdíly v iontovém složení PM1 odrážely sezónnost místních zdrojů. Přesto nebyly mezi lokalitami zjištěny statisticky významné rozdíly v koncentraci PM1 a iontovém složení.

Vodička, Petr; Kawamura, K.; Deshmukh, D.K.; Pokorná, Petra; Schwarz, Jaroslav; Ždímal, Vladimír
2023 - Czech
In this study, we have examined in detail the seasonal changes in the concentration of sugars, dicarboxylic acids and their oxidation precursors in fine aerosol at a rural Central European background site. The aim of the study was to identify typical tracers for different sources of organic aerosol and to determine their contributions to organic PM1.We found a clear difference between winter and summer PM1 aerosol composition at the molecular level. Subsequently, we identified two biogenic factors (dominant in summer), two anthropogenic factors (major contribution in winter) and one background factor.\nMore details could be found in Vodička et. al (2023). V této studii jsme podrobně zkoumali sezónní změny koncentrace cukrů, dikarboxylových kyselin a jejich oxidačních prekurzorů v jemném aerosolu na venkovském středoevropském pozadí. Cílem studie bylo identifikovat typické stopové prvky pro různé zdroje organického aerosolu a určit jejich podíl na organickém PM1. zjistili jsme zřetelný rozdíl mezi zimním a letním složením aerosolu PM1 na molekulární úrovni. Následně jsme identifikovali dva biogenní faktory (dominantní v létě), dva antropogenní faktory (hlavní příspěvek v zimě) a jeden faktor pozadí.\nPodrobnější informace bylo možné nalézt v publikaci Vodička et. al (2023).
