Summary: Soil-plant sewage treatment plants are objects where the purification process takes place in the top soil layers. The principle of the operation of such a sewage treatment plant is to close the circulation of matter through the soil environment. Plants growing on the surface of the treatment plant are important part in the wastewater treatment process. Research concerning the analysis of the physico-chemical composition of inflowing and outflowing wastewater, surface waters and various exploitation allowed to evaluate the treatment efficiency of these facilities in summer and winter period. They were also used to verify undocumented opinions that this type of wastewater treatment plants in the winter season show a decrease of treatment efficiency.

Summary: The overall objective of the project is to develop an innovative, multi-factor mathematical model that would allow for the monitoring of the contamination of baths used in the process of electropolishing of austenitic stainless steels. The model will enable the optimisation and cost reduction of the process. It will also influence the limitation of environmental pollution during electrolytic polishing of austenitic stainless steels.
Keywords: electropolishing, Surface engineering, mathematical model, stainless steel

Summary: The main purpose of the project was to create innovation in the form of water absorbing geocomposites (technology for retaining water in soil and making it available for plants). The idea of water absorbing geocomposites (WAGs) was patented and commercialized – (Hydrobox trademark). WAGs are designed, depending on their size and form, for ornamental potted plants, trees and shrubs in horticulture, orchardry, forestry, in urban greenery, for plants near sound-absorbing barriers and in specialist applications, e.g. in the construction of green walls and roofs. They are used in environmental engineering to support the vegetation of turf as the main anti-erosion protection for road and motorway slopes, flood embankments, slopes of landfills and to support plant vegetation in the reclamation of degraded areas. The project took place in 2009-2015.

Summary: The aim of the research project was to assess the environmental effects occurring in rural areas caused by the uncontrolled urban expansion. The research covered areas of communes near Wrocław, within the limits of the impact of the urban agglomeration and located in the zone of influence of the phenomenon of "urban sprawl". The research was carried out at two levels of detail, corresponding to the levels of spatial management at a local scale: commune level, settlement unit level.
Keywords: suburbanization, urban sprawl, environmental impact assessment.
