29h Task Force Meeting, 29th February – 4th March 2016, Dubna, Russian Federation The term heavy metal Metallic chemical element that has a relatively high density and is toxic or poisonous even at low concentrations. The most significant environmental pollutant heavy metals are: cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), in large amount the iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are pollutants, too. These heavy metals are present in the environment due to weathering of soil-forming rocks and minerals, and by the emission of chemical fertilizers, soil improving materials, pesticides, organic fertilizers, waste water, waste water slobs, due to industrial and mining activity and due to traffic (Hegedűs, 2002).

The next ones are consequences of the human activity: 29h Task Force Meeting, 29th February – 4th March 2016, Dubna, Russian Federation The next ones are consequences of the human activity: Heavy metals: biological essential (e.g. Cu, Ni, Fe, Zn) Heavy metals: non biological essential (e.g. Pb, Hg, Cd, Sn) Sensitive equilibrium of nature is changed ecological and human health problems
The aim of investigation 29h Task Force Meeting, 29th February – 4th March 2016, Dubna, Russian Federation The aim of investigation Because of the environmental pollution there is an increased attention on the potentially toxic elements and on the dangers related to heavy metals. Detailed and intensive examinations are necessary in order to avoid extensive contaminations. A lot of information is needed about different environmental elements to understand the fast changes in environment and to control the environmental laws. Therefore, it is important to evaluate different studies in the environment the deposition of heavy metals. Some plants, can be very useful as bioindicators in order to obtain information about heavy metal concentration data derived from the air pollution monitoring.

Wind conditions in Hungary 29h Task Force Meeting, 29th February – 4th March 2016, Dubna, Russian Federation Wind conditions in Hungary Magyarország szél viszonyai Magyarország szélviszonyainak kialakításában két lényeges tényező játszik szerepet, az általános cirkuláció által meghatározott alapáramlás, valamint a domborzat módosító hatása. A szélnek irányát és sebességét szoktuk megkülönböztetni. A szél irányán mindig azt az égtájat értjük, amerről fúj. 1. ábra Az évi átlagos szélsebességek [m/s] és az uralkodó szélirányok Magyarországon (2000-2009) A mérsékelt éghajlati övben a nagyobb magasságokban a nyugatias szelek az uralkodóak, de alacsonyabb szinteken a domborzat ezt jelentősen befolyásolja. Magyarország területén elhelyezkedéséből következően az uralkodó szél, más szóval leggyakoribb szélirány az északnyugati, míg a délies szeleknek másodmaximuma van. Az általános cirkuláció északnyugatias irányú fő áramlása a Dunántúl keleti felén és a Duna-Tisza közén érvényesül legjobban, míg a Tiszántúlon északkeleti az uralkodó szélirány. A mérsékelt öv szelei azonban a cirkuláció különböző fázisai következtében nem állandók, nálunk a leggyakoribb szélirány relatív gyakorisága általában csak 15-35% között ingadozik. Az esetek 65-85%-ában tehát nem az uralkodó irányból fúj a szél. A szélsebesség aktuális értékét nagymértékben a lokális tényezők határozzák meg. A szélsebesség a makroléptékű tényezőkön kívül a domborzattól, a felszínborítottságtól és az adott hely környezetében levő egyéb akadályoktól (épületek, fák, fasorok stb.) függ. Az átlagos szélsebesség alapján hazánkat a mérsékleten szeles vidékek közé sorolhatjuk, a szélsebesség évi átlagai Magyarországon 2-4 m/s között változnak, de a fentiek miatt lokálisan ettől jelentősen eltérő értékek is megfigyelhetőek. A szélsebességnek jellegzetes évi menete van, legszelesebb időszakunk a tavasz első fele, míg a legkisebb szélsebességek általában ősz elején tapasztalhatók. Hazánkban országos átlagban évente 122 szeles nap fordul elő (vagyis amikor a szél legerősebb lökésének sebessége eléri vagy meghaladja a 10 m/s-t), és ,ezek közül 35 nap viharos (vagyis ennyi alkalommal nagyobb a széllökés 15 m/s-nál is).
