  • Heavy Metals Content in the Soils of the Tatra National Park Near Lake Morskie Oko and Kasprowy Wierch—A Case Study (Tatra Mts, Central Europe)
    minerals Article Heavy Metals Content in the Soils of the Tatra National Park Near Lake Morskie Oko and Kasprowy Wierch—A Case Study (Tatra Mts, Central Europe) Joanna Korzeniowska * and Paweł Kr ˛a˙z* Institute of Geography, Pedagogical University of Krakow, 30-084 Krakow, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.K.); [email protected] (P.K.); Tel.: +48-12-662-62-61 (J.K. & P.K.) Received: 16 November 2020; Accepted: 11 December 2020; Published: 13 December 2020 Abstract: This paper presents the content of selected heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the soils of the Tatra National Park (TNP). In order to determine the anthropogenic impact on the environment, the following coefficients were calculated: enrichment factors (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination (Cd), and modified degree of contamination (mCd). It turned out that in the Kasprowy Wierch and Lake Morskie Oko test areas, the content of metals in the soil decreases with the increasing altitude above sea level. In both regions, the highest concentrations of cadmium and lead were found, for which the coefficients indicated significant environmental pollution. These metals, since they persist in the atmosphere for a long time and have a small particle diameter, can be moved over long distances. Long-range emission contributes to environmental contamination on a global scale. Under the influence of such emissions, even protected areas such as the Tatra National Park, considered to be of natural value, are exposed to the effects of human activities (industry in general, automotive industry in particular).

  • Possibilities of Increasing Territorial Coverage and Operational Performance of the Tatra Electric Railways

The basic prerequisite for a functional, safe and attractive operation of the Tatra Electric Railways is modernization of existing lines, because current state causes not only high maintenance costs, but also significantly reduces the speed, safety, reliability and operational efficiency. The paper suggests ways to reconstruct the existing network and upgrade it to achieve the required technical parameters in case of attractiveness of rail transport in the High Tatras. ©© 20142014 The The Authors.

In this paper it was made its analysis in the context of the impact of various natural and anthropogenic factors. It was assigned the specific elements of nature to the behavior, actions and plans of tourists, pursuing their passions in the Tatras. The author distinguished both positive and negative environmental influences on tourism. The analysis of the studies allowed foreseeing of the expected changes. Keywords: tourism, recreation, Tatra Mountains, rest 1. INTRODUCTION The Tatra Mountains are a mountain range that form a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. The above mountains are considered to be the areas which are the most important from nature and tourist points of view and thus, have an important significance for the economy. The entire territory of the Tatras has been included to the European Union since 1 May 2004 - the date of joining the European Union by Poland and Slovakia. [Nyka 2005]. World Scientific News 72 (2017) 637-656 The Tatra Mountains occupy an area of 785 square kilometres forming a regular oval range of 51.5 x 15-20 km.
