“…It is obvious that this situation will have a place unless the humankind radically modernizes the automobile industry and develops a new approach towards creating environmentally friendly transport facilities. Harmful toxicants affect the atmosphere, hydrosphere and pedosphere, damaging the living components of these systems and as a result breaking their development [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5].…”

The article reviews the main aspects of assessing the vitality of ornamental shrubs. The authors have ranked the plants according to the resistance to air pollution of urban ecosystems based on the assessment of the vitality of ornamental shrubs, their vital activity and resistance to anthropogenic impact. The study has identified the promising species of ornamental shrubs recommended for planting in urban environment: Berberis thunbergii DC., Philadelphus coronarius L., Potentilla fruticosa L., Syringa vulgaris L., Crataegus sanguinea Pall., Lonicera caprifolium L., Philadelphus coronarius L., Physocarpus opulifolius L.

Context Owing to the multiple functions of lipids and fatty acids in organisms, lipid composition can be used as an environmental biomarker of the health status of sentinel organisms in monitoring studies of aquatic ecosystems. Aims To study the lipid profile of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Black Sea and to identify lipid compounds as environmental biomarkers. Methods Lipid and fatty acid compositions in the gills and digestive glands of mussels were analysed by chromatography. Key results Membrane-state fatty acid indices in phospholipids were quite stable in all the mussels examined. The fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols is primarily an indicator of the food source for mussels. The selective retention of arachidonic acid as well as the accumulation of non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids in mussels are assumed to be biomarkers of environmental stress. Conclusions The presence of regulatory mechanisms ensuring the stability of the membrane structure was confirmed in all studied mussels. Implications The content of minor phospholipid fractions (namely, phosphatidylinositol and sphingomyelin) and the distribution of some fatty acids and their indices among lipid classes in the gills and digestive glands of M. galloprovincialis can be used in the assessment of the health status of sentinel organisms.

Almost all oil components are more or less toxic and have a toxic effect on aquatic organisms, and some groups of petroleum hydrocarbons (PH) can accumulate in organs and tissues and transmitted through food chains. Depending on the duration and scale of PH pollution, a wide range of responses can be observed – from physiological and biochemical, morphological, behavioral anomalies at organism level to structural and functional rearrangements in populations and communities. The study of the biochemical response in tissues of bivalve mollusks living in conditions of elevated PH concentrations in the experiment is necessary to understand the mechanisms of metabolism reorganization and adaptive reactions that occur in the body of hydrobionts when exposed to toxicants. The paper presents the results of a study of the PH effect on the parameters of the prooxidant-antioxidant system parameters (superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, level of lipid peroxidation and oxidized proteins) and amnotransferase activities (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) in hepatopancreas of the Black Sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in the acute toxicological experiment. The results of the experiment allowed to establish that PH at concentrations of 0.5 mg/l (10 MPC) and 1 mg/l (20 MPC) do not affect the activity of aminotransferases, but stimulate the development of oxidative stress by shifting the prooxidant-antioxidant balance towards the intensification of lipid peroxidation and protein oxidization; at the 1 mg/l concentration PH cause activation of superoxide dismutase and inhibition of catalase activity. Prooxidant-antioxidant system parameters demonstrate high sensitivity to PH and can be used along with other recommended parameters to assess the functional state of mollusks in conditions of oil environmental pollution.
