一项旨在减少波罗的海沉船残骸有害污染的新倡议已经启动。

BALTWRECK计划于今年7月启动，为期三年，旨在减少燃料、弹药和其他沉船残骸泄漏造成的污染。

该项目的总预算为383万欧元，欧洲区域发展基金通过Interreg南波罗的海方案提供了306万欧元。

波兰科学院流体流动机械研究所（IMP-PAN）负责协调BALTWRECK项目，该项目包括来自四个波罗的海国家的14个合作伙伴：德国、立陶宛、波兰和瑞典。

Michael Silarski博士主管雅盖隆大学物理、天文学和应用计算机科学系。

Silarski博士和他的团队被指派开发和测试检测海上危险物质的新方法。

该项目的正式名称为“防止波罗的海南部沉船和弹药/武器倾倒场泄漏对海水造成大规模化学污染”，其主要目标是开发有效的沉船管理技术。

这些策略将被证明并用于减少有害物质的污染。

该项目的目标是提供先进的技术来评估残骸，识别和清除有害物质。

目前正在研究的最具创新性的技术之一是一种检测水生环境中有害物质的非侵入式传感器。

Silarski博士在波兰科学基金会FIRST TEAM计划的资助下开发了这种传感器。它利用中子活化来远程识别物品的化学成分。

与旧的方法不同，这种方法可以在不危及人体健康的情况下安全准确地识别有害物质。

BALTWRECK项目将与Petrobaltic合作，在受控环境中测试这些技术，最有可能是在港口盆地。这些方法将在至少三个试点地点进行测试和改进。

该项目的一个重要方面是研究沉没弹药和碳氢化合物沉积物对海洋生态系统的影响。

据研究人员称，在波罗的海海底有超过2万艘已知的军用和民用沉船，其中大约10%的沉船泄漏了致癌的裂解油等污染物。

A new initiative has been launched to reduce harmful pollution from the hazardous remnants of shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea.

The three-year BALTWRECK initiative, which began in July, aims to reduce pollution caused by leaking fuel, ammunition, and other shipwreck debris.

The project’s total budget is EUR 3.83 million, and the European Regional Development Fund, through the Interreg South Baltic Programme, contributes EUR 3.06 million.

The Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP PAN) coordinates the BALTWRECK project, which includes 14 partners from four Baltic countries: Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and Sweden.

Dr. Michael Silarski supervises the Faculty of Physics, Astronomy, and Applied Computer Science at Jagiellonian University.

Dr Silarski and his team are assigned to develop and test new methods for detecting hazardous materials at sea.

The main objective of the project, which is officially titled “Prevention of Massive Chemical Pollution of Marine Waters from Leaking Wrecks and Ammunition/Weapons Dumps in the Southern Baltic Sea”, is to develop effective wreck management techniques.

These strategies will be demonstrated and used to reduce pollution from hazardous substances.

The project’s goal is to provide advanced technology for assessing wrecks and identifying and removing hazardous substances.

One of the most innovative technologies being studied is a non-invasive sensor that detects harmful substances in the aquatic environment.

Dr. Silarski developed the sensor with a grant from the Foundation of Polish Science’s FIRST TEAM initiative. It uses neutron activation to identify items’ chemical composition remotely.

The method, unlike older procedures, offers safe and precise identification of harmful substances without risking human health.

The BALTWRECK project will test these technologies in controlled environments, most likely in a port basin, in collaboration with Petrobaltic. These methods will be tested and refined in at least three pilot locations.

An important aspect of the project is the study of the impact of sunken ammunition and hydrocarbon deposits on marine ecosystems.

According to researchers, there are over 20,000 known military and civilian shipwrecks at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, with roughly 10% leaking pollutants such as carcinogenic pyrolytic oil.
