Heavy metals in the soil of 13 villages of Bathinda district, Punjab, India, were measured using wavelength dispersion X-ray fluorescence technique (WDXRF). 29 elements for which these samples were analyzed are U, Th , 40K, Pb, La, Ba, Cs, Ce,, Sn, Sb, As, Cr, Zn, Cu, Co, Sr, Zr, Sc, V, Ni, Rb, Mo,Ga, Nb, Y, Fe2O3, CaO, MnO and TiO2 . Radioactive substances like U and Th are quite low. Alkaline elements like Ca, Ba, Sr are quite high and may be acting as catalysts to low level radioactive elements. As, Fe, Co, Ni, Zr, Cr, Zn too are probably due to proximity of a thermal power plant at Bathinda and use of pesticides and fungicides for plantation.

Abstract Present paper considers nonlinear trend analysis for diagnostics and predictive maintenance. The subject is a device from Maritsa East 2 thermal power plant a mill fan. The choice of the given power plant is not occasional. This is the largest thermal power plant on the Balkan Peninsula. Mill fans are main part of the fuel preparation in the coal fired power plants. The possibility to predict eventual damages or wear out without switching off the device is significant for providing faultless and reliable work avoiding the losses caused by planned maintenance. This paper addresses the needs of the Maritsa East 2 Complex aiming to improve the ecological parameters of the electro energy production process.

Introduction. Coal heat power stations are characterized by severe hazardous eff ect of occupational environment on workers. Objective. To analyze chromosomal disorders in workers of thermal power plant working on coal from Kuznetsk coal fi eld (West Siberia). Materials and methods. Th e authors studied level and specter of chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes of 185 workers of Kemerovo thermal power plant and 218 inhabitants of the same location, not working on industrial enterprises (Kemerovo, Russia). For every individual, average number of 200 metaphase plates of high quality was analyzed. Results. Findings are that the workers of thermal power plant have levels of chromosomal aberrations signifi cantly higher than those of reference group (3,01±0,13% vs. 1,45±0,08%; р<0,00001). With that, increased frequency is seen both for chromatid aberrations and for chromosomal ones — that indicates complex exposure to chemical and radiation factors. Conclusions. Th e results obtained necessitate elaboration of measures to decrease genotoxic hazards in the occupational environment.
