The plant protection products during a fire may cause the emission of many hazardous substances that may cause serious effects on people and the environment. Assessment of the toxicity of a fire environment is therefore one of the most important aspects that requires careful analysis. In this article, the products of thermal decomposition and combustion of plant protection products were identified. Moreover evaluation of flammability of these materials was performed.

Subjective assessment of sound in rooms intended for employees' recreation. Results of own research conducted among users of these rooms – persons working in noisy environment
mgr inż. MAGDALENA MITERSKA, dr hab. JANUSZ KOMPAŁA
The article presents the results of questionnaire research on the subjective assessment of sound in break rooms during work breaks, for employees working at workplaces with noise. The article shows that sound pressure measurements are not the only factor influencing the perception of the sound environment in the workplace. The subjective assessment of the sound environment in break rooms is equally important. A subjective assessment, which that does not always match the objective assessment based on results of noise parameters measurements, can help to design the soundscape of break rooms, contributing to an improved perception of the sound environment in the workplace. The improvement of the acoustic environment takes place not by reducing noise, but by changing the sounds in the break rooms. Changing the soundscape to a more friendly one, improves the well-being of employees working in workplaces with noise.
