Options removal of micropollutants with water treatment processes
Zdražilová, Alena ; Bogáňová, Ida (referee) ; Biela, Renata (advisor)
This diploma thesis is engaged in problems of micropollutants removal by water treatment process. The first part aims to define single micropollutants, possibilities of their removal in laboratory and micropollutants removal on water treatment plant. In the second part, there is data evaluation of water analyses on factual water treatment plant. Also there is description and evaluation of experiment, which aims to pesticide removal from river by using filtration across granulated active carbon.

Monitoring of the pharmaceuticals and pesticides occurrence in the upper part of Blanice river using passive sampling approach
VLK, Pavel
The goal of this thesis was to determine the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and pesticides at the upper part of Blanice river. The spring of the river is located in the Military area Boletice. In this area is minimal incidence of people and minimal land use. It was assumed minimum level of pollution at this part of the monitored area. Higher pollution level was supposed in the downstream part of the monitored area relating to higher population density and agriculture. POCIS passive samplers were used for collecting samples. Analysis were performed by liquid chromatography. There were 201 substances (127 pharmaceuticals, 74 pesticides). The concentrations of 27 substances (18 pharmaceuticals, 9 pesticides) were above the limit of quantification. The lowest level of pollution was found at Spalenec site with total pharmaceuticals and pesticides concentration 83.9 ng. POCIS-1. The highest level of contamination was found at the site Černý stream - 618.9 ng. POCIS-1. However this is only a small stream. The second highest contamination was found in the Rechle site close to the inlet to Husinec drinking water reservoir. Total level of pharmaceuticals and pesticides at this site was amounted to 482 ng. POCIS-1. In the upper part of the monitored catchment area is relatively low level of settelment and use of landscape. There is also low level of pharmaceuticals and pesticides pollution. At the Řepešín mill is forestry landscape changing to agricultural landscape and number of inhabitant is rising up. From this site pollution increases considerably in the landscape. This effect was then reflected in our results. Some substances in the environment change its chemical properties and become persistent. Therefore they are present in the landscape long time after their prohibition for using (e.g. hexazinone, DEET). The Husinec water reservoir reduces the amount of contaminants in the water of Blanice river. This effect was more pronounced for pharmaceuticals than pesticides.

Impedance methods in toxic substances detection
Feber, Václav ; Prášek, Jan (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
The aim of this work was focused on the determination of pesticides concentration in water solution. Pesticides are indissoluble in aqueous solutions and impedance or voltametric/amperometric response of the pure water and water with pesticides is identical. Therefore was necessary find a way how rapidly, effectively and economically measure the pesticides concentration. One way is measurement of conductivity with electrochemical microsensors after enzymatic reaction.

Use of Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode for Determination of Acaricide Amitraz
Nováková, Kateřina ; Harvila, M. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Zima, J.
The electrochemical behavior of amitraz was studied at polished (p-AgSAE) and mercury meniscus modified (m-AgSAE) silver solid amalgam electrodes. The reaction mechanism was investigated using direct current voltammetry (DCV) and elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS). The optimum conditions for differential pulse adsorption stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV) determination of amitraz were found in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer mixed with ethanol in a volume ration of 1:4. DPAdSV with optimized parameters was applied for determination of amitraz in analyzed solutions. The limits of detection were calculated as 8.9 nmol L-1 (tacc = 20 s) for m-AgSAE and 0.168 mol L-1 (tacc = 20 s) for p-AgSAE. The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of this compound in real sample solutions.

Hodnocení stavu životního prostředí: Monitoring cizorodých látek v potravních řetězcích
Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická v Praze, Praha ; Suchánek, Miloslav ; Volka, Karel
Studie Bioindikátory - Zhodnocení zátěže životního prostředí pomocí nálezů polychlorovaných bifenylů (PCB) a organochlorových pesticidů (OCP) ve tkáních zajíce polního (Lepus europaeus) a prasete divokého (Sus scrofa) ve vybraných lokalitách ČR. Kontaminace organismu býložravců odráží především plošnou imisní zátěž vegetace vyplývající z dálkového transportu. Zvýšené hladiny sledovaných perzistentních škodlivin indikují přítomnost lokálního zdroje kontaminace. Jsou uvedeny výsledky analýzy vzorků. Studie Suchánek - Bukovjan: Interpretace vzorkovacího pokusu s živými biomarkery za období 1996 -2000 dokazuje, že zdravotní stav živočišných bioindikátorů vzájemně koreluje s koncentrací chemických prvků včetně skupiny rizikových (Pb, Hg, Cd).
