The following main tasks of this research have been carried out at Lithuanian Energy Institute: a) an experimental ... -
Behavioral responses in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss as indicators of sublethal exposure to heavy metals
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Heavy metals are common pollutants of aquatic ecosystems and usually are found in mixtures of various combinations. At present the controlling of pollution of aquatic environment by heavy metals is performed basically by ... -
Comparison of steam reforming of biomass gasification tars over Lithuanian dolomite and waste tires char
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Gasification of biomass and different types of waste now is considered as one of most perspective ways for production of heat and electricity. It is necessary to clean the synthesis gas from tar and soot particles in order ... -
On the relationship between hard cosmic ray flux decrease and trauma leaps in 2007–2009 in Vilnius city
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Relationship between hard cosmic ray flux (HCRF) decrease and traumas number leaps in 1 – 3 days is presented. HCRF 105000 measurement results are compared with trauma leaps in Vilnius in 2007 – 2009. It is found that ... -
Radionuclide 90Sr volume activity variations at THE Baltic Sea coast near Juodkrante
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)As far as radionuclide 90Sr volume activity (VA) after the Chernobyl Power Plant accident in the Baltic Sea increased negligibly, so the self-purification process from it was very slow. Long-term measurements of VA of 90Sr ... -
Lignin-based dust suppressant and its effect on the properties of light soil
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Road dust negatively impacts the environment. For diminishing this effect, chemical suppressants are often used. Among the known suppressants, the lignin-based ones are of great scientific and practical interest, because ... -
Laboratory and field testing of new design nitrogen dioxide diffusive samplers
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)Nitrogen dioxide is one of the most monitored pollutants in ambient air because of this effect on the human respiratory system, his contributions to the acidification of the ecosystems and his role in the formation of ... -
The low-temperature plasma destruction of used refrigerants
(8th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2011), 2011)According to nowadays environmental policy, chemical compounds with chlorine and fluorine (i.e. CFC, halons) should be removed from every day usage in spite of their harmful impact on a protective ozone layer in the ... -
