  Abstract: Solid-phase microextraction in combination with gas chromatography and mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and for identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air of the city of Astana, Kazakhstan. The screening of the samples showed the presence of mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, phenols, and benzaldehydes. The concentrations of naphthalene were 5-7 times higher than the permissible value, it was detected in all studied air samples. Average concentration of naphthalene was 18.4 μg/m3, acenaphthylene – 0.54 μg/m3, acenaphthene – 1.63 μg/m3, fluorene – 0.79 μg/m3, anthracene – 3.27 μg/m3, phenanthrene – 0.22 μg/m3, fluorantene – 0.74 μg/m3, pyrene – 0.73 μg/m3. Average concentrations of BTEX in the studied samples were 31.1, 84.9, 10.8 and 11.6 μg/m3, respectively. Based on the statistical analysis of the concentrations of BTEX and PAH, the main source of city air pollution with them was assumed to be vehicle emissions.

  Pages: 14 - 17
  Abstract: The complex oxide phase of the composition YbBiNaFe2O6,5 was synthesized by the high-temperature solid-phase reaction. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to study the structure for the first time; the type of syngony, unit cell parameters, X-ray diffraction and pycnometric densities were determined. X-ray diffraction was carried out by homology method from the initial fluorite structure δBi2O3. The method of least squares refined the parameters of the crystal lattice. The parameters of the orthorhombic lattice of complex mixed ferrite at the value of the number of formula units Z=4 are: a=5.2319, в=5.2186, с=7.5702 Å. The correctness of the results of the X-ray diffraction of complex mixed ferrite was confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated values of the inverse squares of the interplanar distances (104/d2). Satisfactory consistency of the values of the X-ray and pycnometric densities, ρrad = 8.335, ρpik = 8.328 g/cm3, proves the correctness of the results of the experiment. A comparative analysis of the interrelation between the parameters of the crystal lattice and the parameters of the crystal lattices of the initial oxide δBi2O3. The analysis shows the values of the parameters “a” and “c” are in satisfactory agreement with the parameters of the crystal lattice δBi2O3, the parameter “c” is distorted from the value of the parameter “a” on √2.

Ecological state of the river Ural

  Abstract: The article describes the ecological state of the Ural River at the present stage. Hydrochemical regime of the reservoir is an important indicator to regulating the number of water resources. As the Ural River is the transboundary reservoir, it is prone to contamination from various areas in the upper and middle reaches. Monitoring of the ecological state of the Ural River showed the presence of anthropogenic pollution. The hydrochemical regime of the reservoir is subject to changes in seasonal variations in water composition. In spring, with flood waters, the main pollution enters the river, however in other seasons, the quality of water leaves much to be desired. In autumn, in comparison with the spring, both alkalinity and salinity increased. The reservoir is prone to contamination with nitrites in almost all seasons of the year from 0.05 to 0.20 mg/dm3 (December, 2016). In the lower reaches of the Ural River, the content of readily oxidizable organic compounds ranges from 3.2 mg/dm3 (winter) to 7.36 mg/dm3 (autumn). The content of boron exceeds the maximum permissible concentration 1-3 times. Environmental monitoring conducted in different periods of the year showed a constant source of pollution flow into the reservoir, which was increased in the flood period. Concentrations of nitrite, boron and petroleum products in the Ural River exceed their permitted values at the point in the end of Uralsk city. The results of the research confirm that the source of the contamination of Ural River is its confluent Ilek River originating from Aktobe Oblast.
