Collecting soil samples
The hypertext material presents a dialogue between a farmer and an employee of the Inspection for Environmental Protection during the inspection of the soil on a farm. The inspector provides information on the method and place of soil sampling.
Hipertekst przedstawia dialog rolnika z pracownikiem Inspekcji Ochrony Środowiska podczas kontroli gleby w gospodarstwie. Inspektor podaje informacje dotyczące sposobu i miejsca poboru próbek gleby.
Inspector: Good morning.
Farmer: Good morning. What brings you here?
Inspector: I’m an employee of the Inspection for Environmental ProtectionInspection for Environmental Protection. You needed help in order to determine the reasons for your yieldyield losses.
Farmer: Of course. Please, come in. Will this help me determine the right doses of ***fertilizers?******fertilizers?***
Inspector: Yes, it’s necessary to study the soil and determine fertilizer recommendations. I will add that the rules for sampling arise from legal provisions. We’re interested in the Polish Standard in which the procedure is given.
Farmer: What place is good for sampling?
Inspector: Samples shouldn’t be collected from the outskirts of the fieldoutskirts of the field, in places after stacks and mounds, and in hollows and sharp elevations.
Farmer: I have different crops in the field, does this matter?
Inspector: Of course. The samples should be prepared separately for each crop. You’re allowed to take one sample from different crops if they have similar requirements and a field fertilization historyfertilization history.
Farmer: How will you collect the samples?
Inspector: I’ll collect the soil samples from the soil profilesoil profile from the arable layerarable layer from the depth of up to 20cm, and from the subsoil layersubsoil layer. Then a 30cm hole should be dug, and the soil from the 40cm soil profile should be collected.
Farmer: What will be used to collect the samples?
Inspector: Egner's soil stickEgner's soil stick. You can also use a drilldrill, or a spadespade.
Farmer: How do you use Egner's soil stick?
Inspector: You dig the stick vertically into the soil and take it out after turning it. Then from the tunnel for collecting the soil columnsoil column, you scrape the entire contents into boxes with labelslabels. You use a scraper for soil samplesscraper for soil samples for the scraping.
Farmer: Are there any other recommendations when collecting samples?
Inspector: All activities related to the collection and transport of samplestransport of samples should be performed in laboratory gloves, and protective goggles should be used to cover your eyes.
Farmer: In that case, let’s get to work.
Inspector: Yes, let’s go to the designated sampling sites for each crop.
On the basis of the hypertext “Collecting soil samples”, match the questions with the correct answer. Na podstawie hipertekstu „Pobór próbek glebowych”, połącz pytania z prawidłową odpowiedzią.

Air quality analysis
The hypertext material presents an information leaflet on the methods of measuring suspended particulates in the air.
Hipertekst przedstawia ulotkę informacyjną na temat metod pomiaru pyłu zawieszonego w powietrzu.
As part of the State Environmental Monitoring, measurements of PM10 and PM2.5 suspended particulatessuspended particulates, with particle diameters up to 10 μm and 2.5 μm respectively, are carried out. The Inspection for Environmental ProtectionInspection for Environmental Protection examines the content of particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 in the air, using the m26782edbcaedf1c3_1497292330786_0gravimetric methodgravimetric method (reference method).
In this method, the so‑called dust collectorsdust collectorsare used. They are special devices which suck in atmospheric airatmospheric air. Every two weeks, 14 disposable filters are mounted onto the collector. The device changes them automatically every 24 hours. Each filter has its own unique identification number. Before mounting, the clean filters are conditionedconditioned and weighedweighed in the laboratory, placed in special containers for transportcontainers for transport, and then transported to the measuring stationmeasuring station and placed in the collector. After 14 days, all filtersfilters are removed, placed in special containers for transport and transported back to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, the filters are conditioned and weighed for the second time, now as filters after the so‑called exposure. The dust concentrationsdust concentrations are calculated on the basis of the mass differences before and after the filter exposure, related to the air flow volume in the collector. These concentrations are given in micrograms per cubic meter [μg/m3]. The advantage of this measuring method is its very high accuracy.
After familiarizing yourself with the hypertext “Air quality analysis”, solve the quiz. Po zapoznaniu się z hipertekstem „Badanie jakości powietrza”, rozwiąż quiz.

Work safety rules
The hypertext material presents a fragment of training materials. It concerns the threats concerned with conducting laboratory works.
Hipertekst przedstawia fragment materiału szkoleniowego. Dotyczy zagrożeń występujących podczas prowadzenia prac laboratoryjnych.
The most important thing in laboratory work is safety.
1. The place where chemical reactionschemical reactions and chemical processeschemical processes are carried out must be adequately ventilated.
2. Only activities such as weighing, siftingsifting solids, filtrationfiltration, pouringpouring with the use of aqueous solutionsaqueous solutions non‑hazardous to the human body can be carried out on a laboratory tablelaboratory table.
3. We carry out the majority of activities under a well‑functioning ventilatorventilator. Flammable substancesFlammable substances, such as organic solvents, must be made in special fume hoods.
4. All people in the laboratory must have alab coatlab coatand protective gogglesprotective goggles on. The lab coat should be made of natural fibers and fastened with a few buttons.
5. The goggles should protect the eyes completely, therefore goggles with a large area with side ridges are recommended.
6. While working with dangerous caustic substancescaustic substances, we protect our hands by using protective glovesprotective gloves.
7. Sometimes we use dust masksdust masks that protect us against poisonous solid substancessolid substances. We put them on during weighing, or sifting.
8. You should know where the emergency equipment is located in the laboratory room: the fire extinguisher, the first aid kit, adsorbents, OHS instructions and the emergency exit.
9. Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the data sheets of dangerous substances present in the laboratory. You will learn in detail what to do in the case of danger, and what you need to pay special attention to.
