The article focuses on examining the influence of fluctuations in annual precipitation amount on the quality of surface waters. Water quality was estimated with data on BOD, COD and phosphate–ion concentration within five selected regions of Ukraine. Analysis of the precipitation data (1991 – 2010) showed different regional trends. Using the statistics, determination of the interconnection between precipitation amount and water resources quality were done. The obtained regularities and associated uncertainties can be used for prediction of changes in water resource quality and as a guide for future adaptation to possible climate change.

Abstract Sensitive voltammetric methods using cathodic and anodic differential pulse stripping techniques were applied for determination of trace ions cadmium(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), lead(II), manganese(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II), which are usually found in different grades of common salt as contaminants. The optimal conditions, i.e., deposition time, preconcentration potential, supporting electrolyte, and ionic strength, were investigated for each metal ion. Concentration of the metal ion was determined by the standard addition method. Metal content varied according to the quality of the table salt.

The inconsistent quality of molasses directly influences ethanol production, particularly due to contamination by metal ions that causes severe problems and reduces production efficiency. This research focused on calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+), and magnesium (Mg2+) ions that are common in molasses. The key objective was to understand clearly the effect of ions on ethanol fermentation and Saccharomyces cerevisiae performance. Individual ions and ion mixtures were studied in sucrose solution and in molasses. The results showed that severe stress could be ordered as Ca2+>K+>Mg2+ and the adverse effect was greater when the ion concentration increased. Ca2+ was a strong inhibitor while trace amounts of Mg2+ produced a positive effect. To achieve the greatest efficiency in ethanol production using molasses in the substrate preparation, Ca2+ should not exceed 0.18% (w/w) prior to fermentation and the final sugar concentration should be 20–25% (w/v), as adjusting the addition of sucrose will result in a suitable yeast medium. Pretreatment and dilution were the best practices for ion removal, with Ca2+ being clearly decreased. Furthermore, determination of the composition and ion concentration in molasses are essential initial steps that must be routinely applied to ensure that the knowledge gained and the efficient techniques investigated can both be used to improve ethanol production.

Finland's water resources are abundant and can be considered adequate to meet needs except in some coastal areas. This abundance was previously considered so obvious that water resources were used carelessly, without a thought to the harmful changes in water quality caused by the reckless use of lakes e.g. for discharging waste waters. In the late 1950's people finally perceived the rapid deterioration of Finland's beautiful lakes. An administration for water pollution control was established and a new Water Act was passed at the beginning of the 1960's. Since then the fight for clean waters has continued with varying success. What is the state of Finnish surface waters now, and what are the prospects for the future?
