In the field of science, human rights and environmental protection are multidisciplinary fields. Hence different approaches to their interaction. In the context of the historical development of human rights, the right to a healthy environment belongs to the third generation of human rights. Due to the increase in industrialization around the world and the use of technologies which main feature is the easy availability and low cost of raw materials and processes, a number of global environmental problems have appeared (ozone depletion, global warming, climate change, etc.) which required a global response. The previous approaches (Stockholm Conference, etc.) were not enough, a new concept was needed that prevents the emergence of problems. A new concept, called sustainable development, implies economic development without permanent impact on the environment. Through the principle of sustainable development, the last UN concept for environmental protection and improvement of society in all segments was formulated, called Agenda 2030. BiH is a signatory to the agenda, but main driver of progress in the field of environmental protection and human rights is BiH’s aspiration to join the EU. One of the key meeting points of human rights and environmental protection should be the rights of activists for environmental protection, resolving their legal status through a law that will recognize their importance. The EU is specifically working on this, so it is expected that BiH will also make progress in the field of better status of activists for environmental protection, through the process of joining EU.

One of the important mechanical properties of packaging materials is its tensile strength. The good tensile strength is essential for materials and their mobility, packaging and for correctness when forming packing units. In this paper, stability of mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation) was tested, for five types of plastics used as packaging material. The tested materials are made of single and combined packaging materials: PE 95 μm, OPP 20 μm, PE/OPP 20/50 μm, OPPmet 20 μm and PET/PE/OPP 12/38/30 μm. Testing of tensile strength and elongation of the material during tearing of the packaging material was performed with the following dynamics: 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 days. The packed contents were dried apples. All materials showed good insulating properties and stability of the welding site. The quality of packaged dried apples, based on the test results, was assessed as good for the technology and product characteristics. In terms of strength PET/OPPmet/PE, OPPmet and OPP proved to be the best materials. In case of exposure of the package to mechanical loads it is recommended to use some of these three materials.

Aims: This study explores the total quantity of sulfur secondary metabolites in the plant organs of garlic and ramsons, the content of total phenol and their correlation to the antioxidant capacity (AOC). There are different reports about correlation of secondary

UDK 582.28:547.56          630*81:582.28 Disposal and incineration or recycling of old and waste wood represents an environmental problem. In most cases, agents on the basis of chlorinated phenols were used for wood preservation. These substances penetrate deeper into the wood and because of their chemical stability it remain for decades. This is an environmental problem since chlorinated phenols are among the most acute and chronic toxic contaminants. One of the promising methods to resolve this problem is biodegradation of chlorinated phenols by microorganisms and by fungi, lately. The toxicity of chlorinated phenols against ligninolytic fungi Hypoxylon fragiforme (Hf) and Coniophora puteana (Cp) has been investigated in this paper. Results showed that the maximum concentration of chlorinated phenols, that allows the growth of Hp and Cp fungi, is 2.5 mmol/L. Testing the impact of eight chlorinated phenols on the growth of fungi, it was determined that chlorinated phenols show less antifungal activity to Hp fungus. Antifungal activity to both fungi increases with the number of substituted chlorine atoms. Also, an important role in antifungal activity, have a physico-chemical properties of chlorinated phenols, primarily LogKow, pKa and the Henry constant. Position of chlorine atoms in the molecule also has a certain influence.
