Arkhypoval.konsevich@gmail.com<p>The article is devoted to analysing the influence of meteorological conditions on the efficiency of<br />solar panels in Ivano-Frankivsk region. The issue of using solar panels as one of the key sources of<br />alternative energy and the importance of evaluating their effectiveness depending on meteorological<br />conditions were considered.<br />The relationship between various meteorological parameters, such as average air temperature,<br />average precipitation, and average wind speed, and the production of solar electricity were investigated.<br />Using the Pearson method, the correlation coefficients between the specified parameters and solar energy<br />production were determined. As a result, the correlation values were obtained, on the basis of which<br />conclusions were drawn regarding the influence of various factors on the efficiency of solar panels.<br />It is emphasized that when planning the location of small solar power plants, it is important to take<br />into account the average air temperature, since there is a strong positive correlation between it and the<br />production of solar electricity. It is noted that the optimal temperature for the efficient operation of solar<br />panels is +21°C.</p> <p>The article also provides recommendations on taking into account the average wind speed and<br />average precipitation when planning the location of solar power plants, in particular for the tourism<br />industry in Ivano-Frankivsk region.<br />The obtained results can be useful for the development of new technologies and strategies for the<br />use of solar energy in different climatic conditions.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/531MONITORING THE SERVICES OF ECO-ESTATES IN THE CARPATIAN REGION AND WAYS TO INCREASE TOURISM ECOLOGIZATION2023-04-12T10:37:28+03:00S.

Kachalataraskachala@gmail.com<p>Strengthening the role of tourism for both the economic and socio-cultural development of many<br />countries in the world as well as the aggravation of the problems inherent in its organization and<br />development make the scientists look for the ways and mechanisms for new and ecologically significant<br />directions of its implementation.<br />The need to study safe ways to increase the level of attractiveness of tourism entities in the<br />Carpathian region is relevant, in connection with the growing demand for domestic tourism, which is<br />associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the war. At the request of the State Tourism Development<br />Agency, Google provided information on the top tourist objects, places and destinations in Ukraine by the<br />number of Google-Maps&Search searches for 2020.<br />Tourism is one of the sectors of the global economy that has been most affected by travel<br />restrictions, and the aviation industry has been particularly hard hit. Ukrainian tourists, having a much<br />smaller list of options for recreation than in previous years, tend to choose local resorts. Since the<br />situation with quarantine restrictions is changing every day, there is a need for short-distance travel.<br />Taking into account the environmental problems arising during the activity of accommodation<br />facilities, there was a need for comprehensive assessment of the situation and determination of the main<br />types of their ecologization based on the example of the estates in the Carpathian region. Since the<br />process of tourism ecologization is a rather complex and long-term task, great importance was attached to<br />the analysis of the organization and implementation of the ecologization of accommodation facilities in<br />foreign countries, to the study of the best practices.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/5303D DESIGN OF ECOTOURISM PRODUCT USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES2023-03-09T14:24:47+02:00S. Kachalapernerolik@gmail.comKh. V. Chekhpernerolik@gmail.com<p>The article investigates the creation of an ecological brand for the village of Sloboda, which is<br />located in Kolomyia district, Ivano-Frankivsk region. The creation of a complete and unique image of the<br />“New Sloboda Village” will take place in four successive stages: formation of a recreation area, design of<br />the glamping town “Glam Camping”, the Polish-Ukrainian open-air museum complex of the oil industry<br />“Galician Cradle of the Oil Industry” and the restoration of the sanatorium tourism based on reserves of<br />the high-quality mineral water and ozokerite. The most important stage is the design of the glamping<br />“Glam Camping” in a remote part of the village with an area of 1.28 hectares. Glamping fits perfectly into<br />the concept of ecological tourism, as it is a modified form of camping but with the conditions of a 5-star<br />hotel. The promotion means are social networks, namely Instagram, Facebook, Viber, Telegram. For this<br />purpose, special advertising layouts have been created, which will be distributed through social networks<br />and in travel agencies, at the local level and later on the foreign tourist market. The cost of glamping<br />camping is UAH 1,820,250. In case the occupancy is 75%, it will pay off in 2 years, 9 months, and 2<br />days, and if the occupancy is 50%, then in 4 years, 1 month, and 28 days. The investment project of the<br />glamping camping is economically profitable, the payback period is significantly shorter than the service<br />life of the active part of the main production assets, and also shorter than the actually achieved payback<br />period of capital investments in this industry. Therefore, investing funds in the village of Sloboda and in<br />particular in “Glam Camping” is beneficial and quickly profitable.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/540ASSESSMENT OF PROSPECTIVE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES OF THE PLANNED RECLAMATION OF TERRICONES IN THE LVIV-VOLYN COAL BASIN2023-05-02T10:54:26+03:00K.

Arkhypoval.konsevich@gmail.com<p>The article is devoted to the issues of reclamation of lands disturbed by the mining industry and the<br />prospects of providing ecosystem services by reclaimed lands.<br />Although coal mining makes an important contribution to the country’s economy, in many regions<br />there are significant conflicts between mining enterprises and local communities regarding the<br />preservation of biodiversity, natural resources, and ensuring a stable ecological situation in coal-mining<br />regions.<br />The domestic and international experiences of reclamation of disturbed lands under terricones and<br />the experience of reformatting terricones for other purposes were analyzed.<br />The essence of the concept of ecosystem services was analyzed. It was established that after<br />reclamation measures the disturbed lands under terricones could provide the following ecosystem<br />services: regulating, provisioning, cultural and supporting.<br />With the help of Google Earth software, the estimated areas of the disturbed lands under the<br />terricones were determined. The existing and most acceptable terricones for reclamation measures in the<br />studied coal basin were selected for the prospective assessment of ecosystem services of the disturbed<br />lands under the terricones and on the adjacent territories. Four types of reclamation directions were<br />proposed for the specified territories: sanitary-hygienic, forestry, construction and recreational. The code<br />of terricones ecosystems was established according to EUNIS classification before and after reclamation<br />measures. Ecosystem services were determined according to the CICES classification. In the future they<br />could be obtained after the reclamation of disturbed lands under terricones.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/534ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT – CLASSIFICATION METHOD OF SOLID COMBUSTIBLE FOSSILS2023-05-02T10:49:46+03:00O. Buzhynbuzhyn@ukr.net<p>Environmental safety depends on the level of energy security development. Combustible minerals<br />play a leading role in ensuring energy security. Solid combustible minerals make up a significant<br />proportion in the total mass of combustible minerals. Currently, there is no single universal classification<br />system for solid combustible minerals. Different countries use different systems for classifying coal by<br />grade. At the same time, depending on the classification system, different sets of indicators are taken into<br />account. The main energy accumulator in solid combustible minerals is carbon and a small amount of<br />hydrogen. The energy of solid combustible minerals is directly dependent on the content of these<br />chemical elements. To evaluate and compare different types of solid combustible minerals and their<br />intraspecific differences, based on the presence of the optimal number of indicators of the main energy<br />carriers, which are carbon and hydrogen, the conversion coefficient into conventional anthracite has been<br />developed. The developed conversion coefficient of solid combustible minerals into conventional<br />anthracite makes it possible to analyze the energy value of different types of solid combustible minerals,<br />deposits, layers of solid combustible minerals, different grades of coal, operation of solid combustible<br />mining enterprises, mining and processing enterprises, plants and factories processing solid combustible<br />minerals, the state and prospects for the development of different levels of energy security. In the<br />environmental safety system, the developed coefficient can be used in the development of computer<br />simulation programs in creating protection systems to prevent combustion, fires and explosions in the<br />extraction, use and processing of solid combustible minerals. The proposed option can serve as an<br />additional variety to generalize and improve the existing classification systems, and to motivate to seek<br />new approaches to further classification of solid combustible minerals.</p> <p> </p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/537ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM2023-05-02T10:51:44+03:00V.

Research results<br />have shown that the gut microbiome of larval species of the large wax moth uses plastic as a carbon<br />source, and the gut microbiome of the worm is able to survive on polystyrene. Enzymes that break down<br />polyethylene in the saliva of wax worms have also been identified, which is important for combating<br />plastic pollution.<br />Enzymatic biodegradation of plastics is carried out using traditional whole-cell biocatalysis or a<br />cell-free approach. It is shown that the use of wild-type strains in combination with bioinformatic analysis<br />makes it possible to identify potential enzymes that effectively biodegrade plastics and contribute to<br />environmental safety.<br />The paper discusses the importance of improving the efficiency of existing plastic biodegradation<br />processes, particularly the application of pretreatment to increase the receptivity of polyolefins.

Chupachupavolodymyr@gmail.comYa. Adamenkoyarad1964@gmail.com<p>The article deals with the current issue of solid household waste management and focuses on the<br />fact that the most effective method of reducing the amount of waste is heat treatment. Attention is paid to<br />such important parameters during the incineration of solid household waste as the ash content and the<br />content of chemical elements in the ash, in particular heavy metals.<br />Recently, the problem of waste is becoming more and more relevant due to the increase in the<br />amount of waste and the negative impact on the environment. One of the ways to reduce the amount of<br />waste is to convert it into fuel. Solid household waste and solid fuel pellets are a source of energy, but<br />they can also contain heavy metals that can be harmful to human health and the environment.<br />A study of the ash content in various waste types and wood solid fuel pellets made from different<br />types of wood was conducted. During the field trip to the landfill of solid household waste (SHW) in the<br />village of Rybne the samples were taken for further research. The ash level of the waste mixture was<br />analyzed, which corresponded to the morphological composition of the landfill of solid household waste<br />in the village of Rybne, and a further analysis of the ash for the content of heavy metals was carried out.<br />Also, the contents of ash and chemical elements in the mixture of wood solid fuel pellets made from<br />different types of wood were analyzed.<br />The level of ash content for different types of waste (plastic, bio-waste, rubber, paper, textiles,<br />wood, etc.) and different types of solid fuel wood pellets (oak, beech, pine, etc.) was studied. A graph was<br />developed to compare the calorie content of different types of waste and pellets to their ash content.<br />Microsoft Excel software was used to simplify the calculation. The study involved the actual calorific<br />values obtained during laboratory research with the help of IKA C1 calorimeter, the ash content obtained<br />by the method of ashing samples in a muffle furnace with subsequent weighing of samples, and the<br />investigation of the chemical composition of samples on the EXPERT 3L precision analyzer with a<br />constant supply of helium in collimator channels</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/543PHILOSOPHICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF OVERCOMING THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS OR THE FOUNDATIONS OF ESCHATOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY2023-05-17T10:27:20+03:00O. Mandryko.mandryk@nung.edu.uaM. Stakhmariana.stakh-tzkm211@nung.edu.uaV. Sabadukhavolodymyr.sabadukha@nung.edu.ua<p>Philosophical and methodological principles of solving the global environmental crisis are<br />considered in the article. The need to unite the efforts of ecologists and philosophers to overcome it was<br />proved. The philosophical causes of the global crisis were found to be the materialistic world outlook<br />orientation and the spiritual imperfection of man which creates destructive phenomena in the life of man,<br />society and in the relationship between man and nature. Taking into account the destructive nature of<br />human activity, a more accurate name for the global ecological crisis was proposed – the<br />“anthropological-global catastrophe”. Overcoming the catastrophic trends requires improving the moral<br />qualities of a person and changing the determination of their life activities. The authors have formulated<br />the main provisions of the eschatological methodology, which consists of three components: the spiritual<br />improvement of a person, the development of a personal society and the harmonization of relations<br />between man and nature. The authors proposed using the metaphysical theory of a personality as the basis<br />of human activity, society and human relations with nature. This made it possible to explain the causes of<br />the anthropological-global catastrophe both at the level of human and social existence as well as human<br />relations with nature. The future of the human community is possible only in case of the fundamentalreduction of human destructiveness. It has been proved that teleological determination plays an important<br />role in overcoming catastrophic trends. In the conditions of globalization, the humanity must realize<br />themselves as a transcendental subject of the activity, impose a taboo on the growth of material<br />production and consider it a kind of a spiritual one and introduce determination of the future.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/549DECARBONIZATION AND DISPOSAL OF ASH AND SLAG WASTE OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS2023-06-26T22:58:35+03:00Марія Михайлівна Орфановаmariia.orfanova@nung.edu.ua<p>Carbon dioxide emissions are one of the causes of temperature increase and global warming. The<br />legislative framework analysis has shown that all the prerequisites for the transition to low-carbon<br />development, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and industry decarbonization have been created in<br />Ukraine. The climate change scenarios have shown that general warming is expected in Ukraine by 2050.<br />The maximum temperature changes are predicted to be +2.2ºC in December. The analysis of industry<br />decarbonization directions has shown that major studies are focused on the decarbonization of<br />metallurgical enterprises, coal industry enterprises, fuel and energy complex, transport decarbonization,<br />production of “green” hydrogen as an alternative fuel, transition from traditional energy sources to<br />alternative ones, and determination of economic mechanisms of carbon pricing. The issues of carbon<br />dioxide capturing, transporting and storing are important. The research results have helped to determine<br />the prospects and advantages of each direction. It is important to assess the possibilities and potential of<br />using captured carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide storage in deep geological formations will require a<br />complex of actions aimed at preventing the pollution of environmental components. The advantages of<br />transporting carbon dioxide by pipelines have been defined compared to transportation by road and rail<br />transport.</p> <p>The disposal direction of ash and slag waste of thermal power plants has been determined.

Panevnykden.panevnik@gmail.com<p>The oil reservoir operation is characterized by periodic emissions of low-pressure gas accumulating<br />in its gas space. In the process of analyzing the characteristics of compressors used in petroleum gas<br />utilization systems, the technical and economic advantages of using jet devices to improve the<br />environmental safety of oil reservoirs have been established. Based on the analysis of pressure, energy<br />and cavitation characteristics, the regularities were established for changing the limiting mode parameters<br />of jet device of the low-pressure petroleum gas utilization system in the gas space of oil reservoirs of the<br />hydrocarbon collection and treatment system. The limit pressure mode corresponds to the zero value of<br />the injection coefficient and is determined by the maximum pressure value created by the jet device. An<br />inverse nonlinear dependence of the maximum relative pressure on the main geometric parameter of the<br />jet device is established. An increase in the main geometric parameter of the jet device causes an increase<br />in the maximum injection coefficient by 62.1%. The optimal operation mode of the jet device takes place<br />when it is operated with maximum values of the efficiency factor. The jet device design, the value of the<br />main geometric parameter of which equals 3, ensures its operation in the optimal mode. The cavitation<br />operation mode of the jet device is characterized by a decrease in pressure at the outlet of the working<br />nozzle of the jet device to the pressure value of saturated vapors of the operation environment. The<br />dependence of the minimum pressure in the flow part of the jet device on the flow rate value of the<br />working flow has an inverse non-linear character. The equality between saturated vapors pressure and<br />current liquid pressure determines the maximum permissible flow rate of the working flow during<br />operation in the cavitation mode.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/544COMPLEX MATHEMATICAL PROCESS OF HARMFUL SUBSTANCES SPREAD DURING MAIN GAS PIPELINES ACCIDENTS2023-05-09T16:34:35+03:00O.

OliinykOlehtuts@ukr.net<p>The article presents the analysis results of scientific and technical literature and other sources<br />information on soil pollution during accidents at pipeline transportation facilities.<br />The gas supply system of Ukraine is a complex energy system characterized by long length,<br />significant power, complex structure, different age and state of the main gas pipelines. The aging of gas<br />pipelines, a large number of accidents, failures and damage to the linear part complicate the maintenance<br />process of the gas transportation system and increase material costs.<br />In these conditions, the improvement of environmental safety to prevent accidents, the<br />uninterrupted supply of natural gas, reduction of losses and negative impact on the environment are<br />relevant issues. It has been established that with a gas pipeline laying depth of 1.5 m the concentration of<br />harmful substance on the top of the ground is almost zero. In addition, the mathematical model makes it<br />possible to estimate the impact area of the harmful substances source on the entire studied territory with<br />one or several pipelines.<br />The performed calculations are of a test nature. To study the real emergency situations, it is<br />necessary to have information about the following factors: the speed of measures on the fault section<br />disconnection; physical and mechanical parameters of soils; working pressure in the pipeline system.<br />The proposed mathematical model will make it possible to analyze the spread of emergency leaks<br />products depending on the location of emergency leaks of natural gas, properties of soils, speed of<br />response and spread of an emergency situation.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/548NEUTRALIZATION AND DISPOSAL OF OIL SLUDGES FORMED DURING OIL EXTRACTION AND TREATMENT2023-05-23T13:58:20+03:00А. Fedorovtaraskachala@gmail.comT. Kachalataraskachala@gmail.comА. Pukishtaraskachala@gmail.com<p>The article provides a literature review of the disposal methods of oil-containing waste formed as a<br />result of technological processes of oil extraction and treatment, emergency spills of hydrocarbons, etc.<br />The long-term storage of waste in places of its extraction can result in petroleum products entering the<br />soil and underground water. The main directions and trends in modern methods of oil sludge disposal<br />have been established, namely: physical (separation in the centrifugal force field), physico-chemical<br />(mechanical separation and reagent treatment of waste), thermal (incineration, low-temperature<br />pyrolysis), biothermal (decomposition of oil sludge under the influence of special microorganisms). The<br />decisive factors that will determine the direction of neutralization and disposal of oil sludge are their<br />composition and physical and chemical properties. The most economically beneficial is the processing of<br />so-called “light” oil sludge floating on the surface of water. The main problems during processing of oilcontaining waste have been identified (heterogeneity of the qualitative and quantitative composition of<br />waste in the places of its storage). The potential negative impact of hydrocarbons in case they get into the<br />components of the environment has been estimated. Sampling and determination of physico-chemical<br />properties of oil-containing waste (density, content of mechanical impurities, water) have been carried<br />out. A basic technological scheme for neutralization of oil sludges has been proposed depending on their<br />physical and chemical properties. The proposed technological scheme helps to rationally choose a<br />disposal method and effectively neutralize hazardous waste with the production of commercial products<br />(oil, pyrolysis oil, semi-coke) and a non-toxic soil mixture.

Klymchukigorklum@gmail.comL. Arkhypovakonsevich@ukr.net<p>Climate change is a global phenomenon that has a significant impact on ecosystems and natural<br />resources. The Carpathian region, located in Central Europe, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of<br />climate change, given its diverse ecosystems, including forests, mountains, and rivers, and the<br />dependence on these resources for its socio-economic development. This study examines the impacts of<br />climate change on the Carpathian region over the past 40 years, with a particular focus on climate change<br />at different altitudes.<br />Using data from numerous meteorological and hydrological stations across the region, the changes<br />in temperature and precipitation, particularly at different altitudes, were analyzed. The analysis showed<br />that the region was experiencing an overall increase in temperature, with 2.4°C increase in the region over<br />nearly 40 years, and a decrease in precipitation, with a total decrease of 117 mm over nearly 40 years.<br />These changes could have a significant impact on the flow of water sources in the region, as areas with<br />low precipitation and high temperatures experience a decrease in water availability.<br />Reduced water availability can have serious consequences for the socio-economic development of<br />the Carpathian region, especially in the tourism and agricultural sectors, which are heavily dependent on<br />water resources. In addition, changes in water flow could affect the region’s natural ecosystems, which<br />are already affected by human activities and land use changes.<br />The study emphasizes the importance of using advanced technologies such as satellite data<br />collection for environmental monitoring. The results of this study indicate that satellite data collection is a<br />more accurate, reliable and efficient method of data collection than traditional ground-based<br />measurements and data obtained from nearby weather stations.</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resourceshttps://ebzr.nung.edu.ua/index.php/ebzr/article/view/541GEO-INFORMATION ANALYSIS OF NATURAL FACTORS OF LANDSLIDE FORMATION IN THE REGION OF THE FOLDED CARPATHIANS (IN THE TRANSCARPATHIAN REGION)2023-05-02T10:55:21+03:00L.

Shtohrynmilashtohryn@gmail.com<p>The article aims at performing the geoinformation analysis of natural factors and an assessment of<br />their impact on the development of landslide processes in the region of the Folded Carpathians (in the<br />Transcarpathian region) by engineering and geological zoning.<br />The following research materials and methods were used in the study: cadastre of landslides of the<br />Transcarpathian region (SRDE “Geoinform of Ukraine”) for the period of activation in 1980, 1998-2001;<br />cartographic information on hydrography, tectonic structure, data from weather stations in the region.<br />The performed geoinformation analysis using QGIS tools made it possible to calculate the impact<br />of landslides on separate engineering and geological areas, districts, the distance from landslides to the<br />base of erosion, faults, earthquake epicenters, the performed statistical analysis using the Statistica<br />program quantitatively assessed the influence of natural factors on the development of landslides. The<br />factor analysis established that the high susceptibility to landslides of the low-mountain massifs of the<br />Vododil-Verkhovyna Carpathians (Ж-3) and the medium-altitude Polonyna-Chornohora and RakhivChvvchyn ranges (Ж-4) could be explained by the combined influence of geomorphology (absolute<br />elevations, slope steepness, undercutting of slopes by river erosion). In addition, the region (Ж-4) is<br />significantly influenced by tectonic and seismic factors (landslides develop in the zones affected by<br />tectonic faults and near the centers of earthquakes), while atmospheric precipitation plays the role of a<br />trigger factor. The considered factors explain 68-77% of the reasons for the development of landslide<br />processes. It can be assumed that the remaining proportion is related to the geological structure (the<br />presence of two-component clay flysch) and the influence of manmade factors (deforestation, trimming of<br />slopes during the construction of roads, construction of communications, structures, etc.).</p>2023-08-08T00:00:00+03:00Copyright (c) 2023 Ecological Safety and Balanced Use of Resources
