Development of Incidence of Cancer Morbidity Around Nuclear Power Stations at Jaslovske Bohunice Within 20 Years M CZ9626456 The ratios P1 = U2/U1, and P2= LJ4/U3, and the differences R1=U2-U1, and R2=U4-U3 should be calculated. A modified [2] decision making procedure has been developed, by which it is possible to assess whether the increase of the dose rate in a measuring site is due to: a) presence of a radioactive cloud in the measuring site, b) surface contamination of the terrain in the measuring site, c) detection of gamma radiation emitted from the surroundings of the measuring site, d) a some combination of a), b), and c).

As a base of comparison was taken the Trnava district where the power stations are situated approximately in its center. As comparative regions were selected the Levice district where the situation analysis is at the same time the starting situation of comparison after 20 years of potential functioning of nuclear power station at Mochovce. The Nitra district which is situated between Trnava and Levice is similar in composition and numbers of population as well as in its predominant fields of labour. Materials and Methods As starting materials were used data of National oncological register, available at the National Oncological Institute in Bratislava, as well as data from the Register of specific lung diseases at Vysne Hagy, and demographic data from the Department of demography of the Slovak Institute of Statistics at Bratislava. The data of oncological incidence were coming from 1968 up to 1989, all calculations were made with relative numbers referring to 100 000 inhabitants. The trend of incidence was followed separately for men and women in 63 oncological diagnoses in all the three districts. The 1968 state was taken as a base. We evaluated the trends in individual districts, and for rough evaluation the trends of overall incidence of pernicoustumours in Bratislava and in Slovakia. Other epidemiological parameters were followed as well such as: potentially lost years in the followed region, average death age, life expectancy at birth. 116 The following statistical methods were mainly used: descriptive statistics, multiple Kruskal-Wallis test, distribution analysis, trend analysis, regression analysis, cluster analysis. Some results are published using a problem-oriented map. Results In the Trnava district 60 % of the population are living within 20 km distance from the nuclear power stations. If the power stations have effect upon the increase in malignant tumours this should be evident also in changes in district numbers. In analysis of pernicious morbidity trends in Bratislava and in Slovak average only an exponential could be used as function. In Trnava, with occasional minor per annum oscillations the overall incidence keeps the level of starting 1968 year, even only 99 % of its value. In case of selected districts (Trnava-Levice-Nitra) there are highly conclusive differences (on the conclusive evidence level p < 0.01 in both men and women). The difference is caused by a very high incidence in the Levice district where there are 95 % of all cases above the occurrence level in the Trnava and Nitra districts. However, there are differences in numbers of occurrence of individual tumuor types. It can be assumed that those differences are provoked by something which is characteristic of the given locality - in conclusive differences there is increased, or reduced, occurrence in all years and in both sexes proportionally. Tumor types, in which, in agreement with preceding studies, the expected dependence with the increase of their occurrence in areas burdened with low radiation do not occur in the Trnava region in increased numbers, on the contrary in Trnava skin tumours are statistically conclusively less frequent than in the two other districts. The same applies to tumours of digestive organs. As the life expectancy is concerned, the Trnava district has been among the best in Slovakia for very long space of time. Conclusion The Trnava district has not shown any increase of malign tumours in men (99 % of the starting value) and one of the lowest increases in women (116 %). To compare, the average increase in Slovakia has been 139 % in men, and 129 % in women in the followed years. This conclusion is in correspondence with the results of studies accomplished as grant at the National Cancer Institute at Bethesda, USA where to the letter is described the protective effect of the nuclear, industry upon the environment as cancer diseases are concerned. We assume that in case of Trnava this effect may be aided by the act that vast regions around the nuclear power stations are supplied with waste heat by means of pipelines which has stopped using solid fuel and thus polluting the countryside with waste. Posters SELECTIVE LEACHING OF SOIL COLLECTED FROM DUDVAH RIVERSIDE NEAR NPP JASLOVSKE BOHUNICE ft Poiiak, D. Dr&bova', R. Filgas Centre of Radiation Hygiene, National institute of Public Health, Prague Specific forms of occurrence of radionuclides determine migration ability of these contaminants in environment. Bottom sediments are natural deposits for most radionuclides. Natural or artificial (bottom dredging) transport of sediments is a significant way of transfer of these radionuclides in and out the hydrosphere. Interactions of radionuclides with soil and rocks are important from the point of view of their inclusion in to food chain and their transport in ground water. At some places alluvia of discharge water canal Manivier contain great amounts of radionuclides which have entered soil as a result of removal of sediments contaminated by effluents from NPP Jaslovske Bohunice. The study aimed at determination of the forms of some radionuclides in the riverside and at assessment of releasibility of these radionuclides into hydrosphere. Applicable steps of sequential selective leaching as described by Tessier were used in the study. 117.

Abstrakt Diplomová práca prináša systematický pohľad na strety záujmov pri vyuţívaní prírodných zdrojov. V práci sú identifikované, charakterizované a zdokumentované najvýznamnejšie strety záujmov vo vybranom území v okrese Trnava a ich dokumentácia. Práca je zameraná predovšetkým na konflikty vznikajúce zo stretov záujmov v oblasti priemyslu, energetiky, vodného hospodárstva a poľnohospodárstva. Zamerali sme sa na najzávaţnejšie konflikty, ktoré najviac ohrozujú územie. Negatívne pôsobenie priemyselných prevádzok, ťaţobných lokalít a ţivočíšnych fariem ako zdrojov priemyselných exhalácií, pachu, hluku, prašnosti, ktoré spôsobujú ohrozenie, resp. narušenie prirodzeného vývoja ekosystémov. V skúmanom území je dôleţité obmedziť rozvoj tých hospodárskych aktivít, ktoré by mohli negatívne ovplyvniť prírodné hodnoty územia a vyvolávať konflikty medzi rôznymi záujmovými skupinami. Veľká pozornosť je venovaná otázke riešenia konfliktov a posudzovaniu vplyvov na ţivotné prostredie.

Životné prostredie, 2019, 53, 1, p. 26 – 31. Monuments enhance the cultural and historical significance of Slovakia because their high cultural value provides precious proof of our history. These monuments form research subjects for experts from different spheres; especially landscape ecologists. This paper therefore presents an example of landscape-ecological assessment of environmental quality in Trnava district rural settlements. The environmental quality is positively influenced by the presence of cul- tural monuments, and this quality is assessed by combined methods of positive socio-economic phenomena in nature conservation, natural resources, cultural-historical resources and the environment. The sociological survey conducted via questionnaires addressed to mayors of rural settlements forms part of this assessment, and this paper contains re- plies where respondents present their opinions on cultural monuments associated with local environmental quality.

Ekoló- gia (Bratislava), Vol. 38, No. 4, p. 392–400, 2019. The paper is aimed at the presentation of the new conception of nature protection. The new con- ception is based on the creation and protection of the representative geoecosystems. The strategic aim of defining the representative geo-ecosystem is: to determine a representative geo-ecosystem for each territorial unit on the given hierarchical level - the regional principle, to determine a representative occurrence for each type of the geo-ecosystem – the typological principle. The list of types of representative geo-ecosystems should serve as an ecologically based systematic frame- work for new protected areas (according to the analysis of unsufficiently protected representative geo-ecosystems) designations, as well as for methodical proposals of biocentres of the territorial system of ecological stability. The new approach to nature conservation is based not only on the protection of life forms but also on the protection of living conditions. The paper presents an example of the creation of representative geoecosystems on the regional level –Trnava region. Key words: representative geoecosystem, region Trnava, territorial system of ecological stability, integrated approach. Introduction Healthy ecosystems are the basis of life and are essential to human well-being and societal prosperity.
