The concentration of particulate matter in the air of selected areas of the city of Brno and its health risks
Bulejko, Pavel ; Čáslavský,, Josef (oponent) ; Adamec, Vladimír (vedoucí práce)
This thesis deals with air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) in the city of Brno areas. The theoretical part focuses on potential sources of PM, its chemical composition and size classification and other physic-chemical properties. The next section is devoted to the health risks of PM. In this context, the work aims at the anatomy of respiratory system and the effects of PM on it. Health effects of dust pollution including the potential respiratory and cardiovascular disorders are also discussed. In experimental part, a collection of dust was carried out. The dust collection was carried out in four selected areas. Concentrations of airborne particles PM10 and PM2.5 were determined, subsequently. Concentration of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons bound to dust particles was determined. Finally, the comparison between the regulatory standards and results of analysis was done as well as the health risk assessment.

Porous elements based on granular materials and inorganic binders
Bulejko, Pavel ; Dohnal, Mirko (oponent) ; Svěrák, Tomáš (vedoucí práce)
This master thesis aims at the possibilities of porous structures formation using granular materials cemented with inorganic binders without additional heat treatment by firing. As the basic binders were used Portland and aluminate cement and agglutinates on alkali-activated metakaoline (geopolymer) basis. Silicon carbide classified according to particle sizes was used as main aggregates, the next materials were quartz sand and some secondary material were used as well (milled glass and porcelain), which were also divided into particle size fractions. The influence of composition and aggregates quantity upon the porous structure generation was pursued and mechanical properties were characterized by mechanical strength testing of columns with proportions of 20 × 20 × 100 mm prepared of testing mortars. Grain size measurement and characterization of phase composition of input materials were performed by means of laser granulometry and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Porous structure was investigated using methods of mercury porosimetry, light and scanning electron microscopy and pycnometric measurement. The barriers in the form of disks with 90 mm in diameter prepared of individual materials were tested by air flux to determine effective permeability. Furthermore, the capillarity testing of the materials were carried out. Lastly, experiments to try to clarify suspensions of fine particles were accomplished.

Příprava a charakterizace betonů na bázi směsného geopolymerního pojiva
Bulejko, Pavel ; Straka, Radek (oponent) ; Šoukal, František (vedoucí práce)
Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá přípravou betonů na bázi alkalicky aktivovaných pojivových systémů (geopolymerů). Jako základní aluminosilikátové složky pro přípravu alkalicky aktivovaného pojiva bylo použito jemně mleté vysokopecní strusky. Jako aktivátor byla použita směs sodného vodního skla a 50 % roztoku KOH, který byl v určitých případech nahrazen cementářskými odprašky. Připravená testovací tělíska (trámečky 40x40x160 mm) byla podrobována mechanickým zkouškám pevností a byl sledován vliv náhrady roztoku KOH cementářskými odprašky na pevnosti. Dále se práce zabývá strukturní analýzou připravených pojiv – byla provedena termická analýza a fázové složení bylo zkoumáno pomocí RTG difrakce.
