Tento nedostatek však pravděpodobně může být eliminován zvýšením dávky sorbentu. Z výsledků sorpčních zkoušek kationtu Hg na testované vzorky vyplývá, že žádný ze zkoušených vzorků neodstranil (i při nejnižších vstupních koncentracích Hg iontů 10 μg.l ) takové množství rtuti, aby výstupní koncentrace byla nižší než NMH.

Tertiary claystones, siltstones and sandstones form the top seal. Surface gamma-ray spectrometry carried out along two profiles across the field (6,880 m and 8,335 m in length, respectively) found perceptible decreases of K, U, and Th concentrations relative to background values. This can be explained in terms of enhanced leaching of these radionuclides by groundwater acids derived from hydrocarbons. Observed increases in radon and thoron in soil gas above the oil-producing zone at Zdanice may be caused by enhanced gas emanation from U-and Th-bearing minerals decomposed by groundwater acids. Laboratory analyses of 444 samples collected from 18 shallow boreholes (20 m deep) pointed to a trend of decreasing K, U and Th concentrations above the oilproducing zone at Zdanice. Decreases in rock porosity and organic carbon content were also noted together with an increase in mineralogical density, magnetic susceptibility and sulphur content. Petrophysical analyses of 330 samples from deep boreholes showed lower values of K and U in samples from oil-producing wells. These observations of minor petrophysical alterations in rocks overlying the Zdanice oilfield may be characteristic and may be applicable to hydrocarbon exploration operations elsewhere.

The magnetic anisotropy was used to measure the connected pore fabric after pore saturating by the ferromagnetic fluid. The ductile deformation of the ceramics was investigated through measurement of magnetic anisotropy of dry specimens. The character and symmetry of the pore fabric are compatible with those of the deformations forming the fabric of the ceramics.

The tested set contained 44 lake sediment samples from three depth profiles on the bottom of the Horní Bečva Reservoir and 14 samples of uncultivated soil from shallow profiles at the localities of interest: Potočník, Lelekovice and Červenohorské sedlo Saddle. Organic matter was characterised by determinations of individual carbon fractions/forms (C tot , C org , C min , C HS , C HA , C FA), by customary analyses of group parameters (Hum, EOM, TES, NES, AOX-S) and also by multicomponent analyses of the contents and distributions of individual selected hydrophobic organic pollutants-normal and isoprenoid alkanes (SH n+i), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and organochlorinated pesticides (OCP). Reliability of data, characterising organic compositions of the tested samples, was guaranteed by certified analytical methods and consequently verified by statistical evaluations of correlations between the values of definitionally related quantities. Characteristics of the organic matter were then used in a parallel investigation of sorption properties of some of the samples. Results of pollutant analyses were also evaluated and discussed with respect to the Czech national legislation limits for permissible pollution of the environment; they proved, in general, a significant and widespread background distribution of some of these xenobiotics in the examined rock environments. Characteristic distributions of individual alkanes determined by multicomponent analyses also helped to distinguish external hydrocarbon contaminations from the natural background as well as to estimate a probable source of contamination.

We have focused mainly on the changes in the element contents depending on the sampling depth, and on the mutual correlations among the elements. We have also monitored several radioactive elements (including the anthropogenic 137Cs nuclide that contaminated the environment after the Chernobyl disaster) and tried to trace the origin of the contaminants in the rock environment.The work aims to present the preliminary results of the study of distribution of heavy metals and toxic elements in the profiles of chosen dug holes in the area of Králický Sněžník.

Mapa plošné aktivity 137Cs v půdě z roku 1987 (IHE 1987) uvádí pro zájmové území CHKO Beskydy hodnoty malého počtu odběrů vzorků v mezích do 10 kBq.m-2. Pozemní gamaspektrometrická měření 2006 s hodnotami 137Cs převážně v mezích 2 – 10 kBq.m-2 a maximem 16,1 kBq.m-2 jsou upřesněním údajů k roku výzkumu 2006 o plošné distribuci radiocezia. Z provedených terénních radiometrických měření, a i z laboratorních měření odebraných vzorků, vyvstává přesnější obraz o kontaminaci území Moravskoslezských Beskyd 137Cs. Ve shodě s očekáváním jsou vyšší hodnoty plošné aktivity 137Cs především v lesích, většinou na exponovaných místech, kde byly v době těsně po havárii vyšší srážky a kde se 137Cs udrželo v humózním povrchovém horizontu.

Analysis of the chemical composition of heavy minerals such as garnet, amphibole and tourmaline r... more Analysis of the chemical composition of heavy minerals such as garnet, amphibole and tourmaline represents a very efficient tool for determination of the source area of clastic sediments. In small and geologically simple river basins containing contrast rocks, this method even allows to quantify to certain degree the share of the individual rock types on the modal composition of clastic sediments. There are, however, substantial limitations for the applications of this method. The chemical composition of heavy minerals present in the sediments of small streams is considerably influenced by the local geological setting of the particular sampling site and it is very often impossible to determine the exact proportion of the material coming from older sedimentary formations.

These streams flow through geological units of varied structure and composition (Cretaceous, Svratka Crystalline Complex, Policka Crystalline Complex, Moldanubicum). Over 80 samples which had been collected from the profiles of 13 dug holes in the two source areas were subjected to analyses of heavy metals and radiogenic elements, to silicate analyses and others. Within the scope of the pilot interpretations, the results of the analyses of chosen elements were compared with those from the other localities and also the trends of content-changes with depth were observed. The ultimate goal is to design a model capable of describing the changes in the rock environment occurring during the exogenous processes (including the formation of the soil horizon) and during the gradual material transport towards the watercourses.

The enhanced susceptibility of topsoil, particularly of the horizon O, was assessed from the aspect of vegetation setting and magnetic mineralogy. Magnetic susceptibility variations with field and temperature as well as frequency dependent susceptibility were applied to indicate magnetic carriers. It was found that the enhanced magnetic susceptibility is caused very likely by the presence of maghemite and magnetite of various grain sizes. Magnetic minerals are pedogenic in origin in all three horizons, while in the O and A horizons they are mostly anthropogenic in origin. Magnetic susceptibility was correlated with contents of trace

The magnetic fabrics in metamorphic, granitoid, and sedimentary rocks display very similar patterns of principal susceptibilities. Metamorphites underwent a polyphase prograde and retrograde metamorphis, granitoids were metamorphosed retrogressively, and sedimentary rocks suffered a very weak prograde metamorphism. Retrogressive and progressive Alpine metamorphism and the formation of magnetic anisotropy took place simultaneously, before, during. and after the emplacement of the Central West Carpathian nappes.

Dried and ground samples of the plants and soils, and water samples from wet deposition were used to determine the (7)Be content using a semiconductor gamma spectrometer. The (7)Be values ranged from 147.0 to 279.6 Bq kg(-1), from 48.7 to 740.8 Bq kg(-1), from 2.1 to 8.7 Bq kg(-1), and from 0.6 to 1.9 Bq kg(-1) in birch-tree leaves, grass samples, soils, and rainwater, respectively. Insignificant inter-annual variations but significant increase in the (7)Be activity concentrations during the spring and summer months were observed in birch-tree leaves and grass samples. The seasonal variation of the (7)Be concentrations in grass samples correlated (R(2) = 0.4663 and 0.6489) with precipitation. No similar correlation was found for (7)Be in birch-tree leaves. Beryllium-7 content in birch-tree leaves and in aerial parts of grass was mainly caused by direct transport of (7)Be from wet deposition into aerial parts of the observed plants.

Tento nedostatek však pravděpodobně může být eliminován zvýšením dávky sorbentu. Z výsledků sorpčních zkoušek kationtu Hg na testované vzorky vyplývá, že žádný ze zkoušených vzorků neodstranil (i při nejnižších vstupních koncentracích Hg iontů 10 μg.l ) takové množství rtuti, aby výstupní koncentrace byla nižší než NMH.

Dried and ground samples of the plants and soils, and water samples from wet deposition were used to determine the (7)Be content using a semiconductor gamma spectrometer. The (7)Be values ranged from 147.0 to 279.6 Bq kg(-1), from 48.7 to 740.8 Bq kg(-1), from 2.1 to 8.7 Bq kg(-1), and from 0.6 to 1.9 Bq kg(-1) in birch-tree leaves, grass samples, soils, and rainwater, respectively. Insignificant inter-annual variations but significant increase in the (7)Be activity concentrations during the spring and summer months were observed in birch-tree leaves and grass samples. The seasonal variation of the (7)Be concentrations in grass samples correlated (R(2) = 0.4663 and 0.6489) with precipitation. No similar correlation was found for (7)Be in birch-tree leaves. Beryllium-7 content in birch-tree leaves and in aerial parts of grass was mainly caused by direct transport of (7)Be from wet deposition into aerial parts of the observed plants.
