ecological danger

The milestones of scientific and pedagogical activity of Professor Volodymyr Shmandiy are described. The main results of the scientific school headed by him are presented. The hierarchical structure of ecological danger is set forth. The conceptual principle of ecological safety management is formulated. The scientific principles of research on the environmental impact of earthquakes of technogenic origin are presented. A poly-staged method for producing adsorbent of high absorption capacity based on waste from agro-industrial complex is presented.

The aim of the research was to reduce ecological danger caused by vehicles through the use of combined fuel and improved designs converters of exhaust gases. The use of obsolete structures of a catalytic analyzer on cars and the provision of periodic purging of catalytic units can significantly reduce soot emissions without making changes to the design of the engine. It was established that the use of a mixture of diesel fuel with biofuels (made involving waste) reduces the toxicity of exhaust gases by 30–35 % and saves hydrocarbons.
