The fact that problems of environmental degradation and its protection are getting more important is caused among others by limitation in management efficiency. It forces us to look at economic processes with consideration of the output of such disciplines that say how one shall manage in a situation of limited natural resources. This discipline is without any doubt environmental protection. This science indicates methods and economic instruments that can be applied in economic practice necessary in environmental protection. It deals also with problems related to economic researches of implications of environmental policy. The same environmental economics that results from the neo-classical trend of economics looking at the market as an unfailing mechanism of economic regulation proves that the invisible hand of the market fails in case of environmental protection. That is why we shall apply different types of instruments especially these related to indirect regulation (including such economic instruments as taxes) that support actions related to the limitation of environmental degradation. It's worth also to add that recognition of methodological premises of this science supports not only the development of this discipline but first of all, it shows her applicable character. Practical usage of rules prepared by environmental economics shall be used by all participants of economic life beginning with consumers and finishing with producers and governing in order to keep not only current natural resources but first of all to take care after possible development of the next generations.

Environmental Activities

Today’s businesses have a huge impact on the environment. Enterprises overuse available natural resources, and emit hazardous pollutants; thus, they contribute to the advancing degradation of existing ecosystems, causing serious threats to the biological diversity of our planet. Hence, there is an urgent need to undertake diverse actions to reduce the adverse impact of businesses, households, and whole societies on the environment, and stop its degradation. The goal of this paper is to present research findings from the study carried out in 2019 and compare these findings with the study carried out in 2009, in order to identify and analyze the most frequent environmental activities undertaken by enterprises operating in the Lublin region. The ranking method was used in the study. The research findings show that over the last 10 years respondents’ opinions on the most effective economic instruments used in pursuing ecological policies remained unchanged. Moreover, respondents point to numerous tangible benefits resulting from ecological activity. In 2019, like in 2009, most pro-ecological investments were financed with enterprises’ own funds. Over the 10-year period between 2009 and 2019, the most frequent pro-environmental activities, as well as the returns on ecological investment periods, have changed. The study showed that enterprises responsibly consider environmental impacts of their activities and undertake actions aimed at preserving the environment and its resources.

Environmental Measures

The development of technologies entails the deterioration of both the global environmental situation and at the regional level. The solution of environmental issues is directly related to the use of natural resources, as well as the utilization of the economic system, including through the transformation of waste into raw materials for energy production, various materials, reduction of toxic emissions into the air, water, biodiversity, etc. The main economic instruments of environmental protection and improvement of the ecological situation, which are used in world practice for these purposes, are analyzed. Among them are special taxes, pledge-refundable schemes and expanded business responsibility. The analysis of economic instruments of state regulation of nature management and sources of funding for environmental measures in Ukraine suggests that it needs to be revised and systematized with a scientifically sound definition of the parameters of mandatory payments in favour of the state and the proportions of natural distribution resource payments between the parts of the budget system to prevent the scattering of financial resources and their targeted use to finance environmental protection programs and improve the environmental situation in Ukraine. The expediency of strengthening the integration of such payments into the structure of existing taxes on goods (excise tax on gasoline), while maintaining environmental incentives, in particular, coordination with the taxation of corporate profits, for example, in the form of a reduction factor in the case of their include cost. In this case, the environmental component of taxation should correspond to the scale of environmental damage and is the basis of the mechanism for calculating tax payments or other economic incentives. This can be ensured by deepening the differentiation of tax rates depending on the damage to the environment, as well as the conditions of use of natural resources, the availability of certification of nature management enterprises according to ISO 14000 standard.

Environmental Attributes

<p>Environmental resources are finite and scarce. According to the economic theory, value arises whenever satisfaction is derived to individuals. As environmental attributes represent a source of satisfaction, certain economic values are somehow associated to them. As a consequence, environmental externalities may result in costs to the economic system. Environmental valuation has become important in decision-making for appraisals of projects arid schemes, as well as in the management of natural resources. Although subject to several criticisms, many techniques have been developed to assign monetary values to environmental goods and assets. Besides, many attempts have been made on the application oil such techniques for actual money estimates. This paper presents a review on the environmental valuation of traffic-induced effects. Initially, some economic basis for environmental valuation is given, as well as a description of the main techniques, their applicability and disadvantages. A brief discussion about the economic instruments on environmental damaging activities is also presented. Further, a guidance on the valuation of some predominant adverse effects of traffic is provided.</p><p><strong>Resumo:</strong></p><p>Os recursos ambientais são finitos e escassos. De acordo com a teoria econômica, valor surge sempre que satisfação é derivada a indivíduos. Se atributos ambientais representam uma fonte de satisfação, certos valores econômicos são de alguma forma associados a eles. Como conseqüência, externalidades ambientais podem ocasionar custos ao sistema econômico. Avaliação ambiental passou a ser importante em tomada de decisão para analise de projetos e planos, bem como para o gerenciamento dos recursos naturais. Embora sujeitas a varias críticas, diversas técnicas foram desenvolvidas para alocar valores monetários a bens ambientais. Alem disto, muitas tentativas foram feitas no sentido de aplicar tais técnicas a fim de produzir, de fato, estimativas monetárias. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão sobre avaliação ambiental dos efeitos induzidos pelo trafego. Inicialmente uma base econômica para avaliação ambiental e reportada, assim como uma descrição das principais técnicas existentes suas aplicabilidades e desvantagens. Uma breve discussão sobre os instrumentos econômicos aplicados a atividades que causam danos no meio ambiente é apresentada. Finalmente, uma orientação sobre avaliação monetária de alguns efeitos adversos predominantes do trafego é fornecida.</p>

Multiple Component

Selected area electron diffraction (SAD) has been used successfully to determine crystal structures, identify traces of minerals in rocks, and characterize the phases formed during thermal treatment of micron-sized particles. There is an increased interest in the method because it has the potential capability of identifying micron-sized pollutants in air and water samples. This paper is a short review of the theory behind SAD and a discussion of the sample preparation employed for the analysis of multiple component environmental samples.
