The study presents the main investigation and assessment methods of quantifying the level of contamination of potentially contaminated and contaminated sites, the advantages and limitations dictated by the specificity of petroleum product storage and distribution sites (warehouses) and also by the type of information required for their optimal characterization. Case studies and real contaminated sites are used in this analysis to be more applicative and convincing for the scope of this assessment. The conclusions of this analysis allow establishing the mechanisms and particularities of soil and groundwater pollution on petrochemical industrial areas, as well as the petroleum product deposits in terms of geological and hydrogeological characteristics, pollution sources, and activities conducted on these platforms. The study is a preliminary stage for the assessment of the risk generated by the level of contamination with such products. This study will ensure a very useful and effective tool for establishing the protection and remedial measures for this type of soil and groundwater contamination.

There has been carried out a comparative research, which allow us to evaluate the efficacy of Miscanthus x giganteus for phytoremediation of contaminated soils. The effects of organic soil amendments (compost and vermicompost) on uptake of heavy metals in Miscanthus x giganteus were studied. Experiments have been implemented in controlled conditions. The soil used in this experiment was sampled from the vicinity of the area contaminated by the Non- Ferrous-Metal Works (MFMW) near Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The soils were amended or not with 5, 10, 15 or 30% of compost and 5, 10, 15 or 30% of vermicompost. Heavy metal contents in roots, rhizomes, stems, and leaves of Miscanthus x giganteus were analysed. The quantitative measurements were carried out with inductively-coupled plasma (ICP). The application of soil amendments favoured plant growth and development. Compost and vermicompost application led to effective immobilization of Pb, Zn, and Cd mobile forms in soil. A correlation was found between the quantity of the mobile forms and the uptake of Pb, Zn, and Cd by the Miscanthus x giganteus. Compost and vermicompost treatments were effective organic amendments and reduced heavy metals in leaves of Miscanthus x giganteus, but the effect differed among them. Also, there was a dose effect for amendments. The 30% compost and 15% vermicompost treatments led to the maximal reduction of heavy metals in Miscanthus x giganteus biomass. The depots for accumulation followed the order: roots > rhizomes > leaves > stems. The high concentration of heavy metals in the roots and rhizomes and the low translocation factor indicated the possibility of Miscanthus x giganteus to be used in phytostabilization. Miscanthus x giganteus harvested from heavy metals contaminated soil may be used for energy production.

The article justifies theoretically-methodological principles of economic mechanism to ensure environmental security of land-use, based on use of economic methods and levers and their interaction with the legal framework. The aim of the paper is a clear definition of damage, caused to the state due to non-compliance of norms of sustainable land management. The main tasks are to develop economic instruments of determination of sanctions for violation of norms of sustainable land management. The State and the territorial communities are losing considerable resources from nonpayment of land fees at various levels, through unauthorized and misappropriation of land, degradation of the quality of the fertile soil, etc. Inappropriate use of land plot violates the principle of the targeted use of land and causes losses, which are defined as, firstly, the loss of income that a person might have earned from the use of the land and, secondly, the improper generation of additional income from unauthorized actual use of the land; that doesn’t meet its target. Compensation for damages caused by a violation of the land law does not relieve the offender(s) of the need to compensate real damages, i.e., to carry out, at his own expense, measures to eliminate the consequences of the violations in the shortest period of time, Including demolition of buildings, houses and structures, as well as site restoration. Such principles of land law should be taken into account when justifying the harm caused by the diversion of land, as priority of agricultural land use; purpose-oriented land use; stability of land use; principle of rational land use. The basis for determining the amount of damage caused by the inappropriate use of land is the sum of relevant loss of the normative average annual income from the targeted use of land and the excess annual average income from actual functional use of land, which does not meet its target.

War and armed conflicts have been shown to contribute directly to decreased landscape values and environmental degradation, especially in developing and tropical countries. This paper presents a methodic review approach designed to analyze the relationship between drivers and remote sensing methods in areas affected by armed conflicts. The document seeks beyond showing and comparing a series of cases where the various remote sensing methods have been used, seeks to find trends, patterns of repetition or non-repetition, points of convergence and divergence taking into account variables such as area, scale, satellite sensors used, and geographic conditions to determine the relationship between causes and consequences of the conflict with the remote sensing methods. We collected data from international peer-reviewed journals that are indexed using scientific search engines as Scopus and Science Direct. We analyzed 43 research papers from 1998 to 2019 time-lapse that used satellite imagery and aerial photos in 21 countries of 4 continents to assess environmental effects caused by armed conflicts. Quantitative analysis of the trends identified within these areas contributed to an understanding of the reasons behind these conflicts.

About 4000 hectares of oil-bearing rose are grown in Bulgaria, of which approximately 20000 tons of residual biomass is harvested annually. For now, there is no unilateral decision on how it can be used. The purpose of this study is to establish: what kind of wood (soft or hard) is the residuals of contour pruning of oil-bearing roses and what are the hardness and energy required to destroy these residues. From the research it was found that a sheet of rosewood mass can be processed with machines for crushing and pelleting/briquetting of softwood and the energy needed to destroy 1 g of these residues with a humidity of about 14% is 16.56 J, which is equal to 46 kWh/t.

Drinking water must be health providing, clean, devoided of pathogenic bacteria, viruses or parasites. Wells water should be checked periodically to determine if it complies with European standards, especially when these waters are used by the population. The aim of this paper is to assess the number of aerobic bacteria, nitrites and ammonium content for 7 location (Alba Iulia, Rosia de Secas, Cenade, Sancel, Spring, Ciugud, Ohaba) from Alba County, Romania. The results show that anthropogenic pollution affecting water quality from wells. The microbial growth varies between 42 CFU in source from Ohaba and 440 CFU in Ciugud. Starting from the nitrogen cycle, for the interpretation of the data a simple linear regression was performed. For all the casese, also a multiple regression was conducted to investigate the relationship between chemical parameters and the bacterial growth. A significant correlation between the microbiological growth and its nitrites and ammonium content was observed.

The small size of landed properties and the fragmentation of land ownership hinder the use and functioning of the already built-up irrigation and drainage systems in Bulgaria. One of the ways to ensure their efficient work and to guarantee reconciliation of all users’ interests, especially towards soil moisture management in their land, is by mutual adjustment of land planning and the technological requirements of those systems. The objective of the paper is to reveal rules for land planning of the irrigated and drained lands, in which the land use requirements meet the water use ones. The background is the concept that agricultural land-use structuring should consider the technological units such as water-supply tracts, IMs and drainage technological parcels. The systematic approach was used since the agricultural land represents an agroecosystem - a natural ecosystem formed and operated by human activity, and tenure interests are concerned. Suggestions for different irrigation technologies are made: furrow irrigation, sprinkling machines, sprinkling installations; drip irrigation; and open drainage systems.

The pellets are environmentally friendly bio fuels and have a lot of advantages over conventional firewood or biomass for heating. The European EN 14961-2 standard defining the requirements for pellets has been in force since 2010. Many pellet manufacturers certify their production according to the German standard DIN 51731 or according to the Austrian standard ÖNORM M 7135. All pellet labels state that they are manufactured according to EN 14961-2 standard. But does the inscription on the pellet packaging correspond to reality because the regulation does not require providing data about the specific calorific value on the pellet label. The calorific value of the pellets is one of the most important parameters from the customer's perspective. The aim of this paper is to define the quality of various types of wood and agro pellets as well as of one type of biomass, produced from rose stems by directly measuring of their combustion characteristics and to compare them. The measurements were made under laboratory conditions using a KL-11 calorimeter.
