Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water
Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more
Magnetic solid-phase extraction of pesticides in environmental water samples Fe3O4@SiO2@C18 nanoparticles coupled to GC-MS determination
KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous extraction of ten pesticides belonging to various categories (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) in environmental water samples. The magnetic Fe3O4@...Read more

Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Photocatalytic Degradation of Tebuconazole Fungicide using Palygorskite-TiO2 nanocomposites.
GIANNAKIS I.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In our study a combination of Palygorskite clay mineral with TiO2 nanoparticles used for the decomposition of the common tebuconazole (TEB), C16H22ClN3O, [(RS)-1-p-chlorophenyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-pentan-3-ol], fungicide in water. For this purpose, Palygorskite-TiO2...Read more
Bioleaching for metal recovery from telecoms switchboard
Baniasadi M., (Corresponding) Farnaud S., Graves J., Renshaw D., Moris S.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a necessity for electronic equipment to function especially in the telecommunications industry. From a PCB for broadcasting networks to PCBs for office communications they are what makes electronic communications equipment operate. The sophistication possible with...Read more
Current state and challenges in WEEE recycling industry in Serbia - case study
(Corresponding) Berežni I., Batinić B., Stanisavljević N., Marinković T.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as a special waste flow due to the fact that it contains hazardous materials and should not be mixed and treat with other waste streams. In order to ensure adequate environmental protection and proper management of this waste flow,...Read more
Degradation of Cylindrospermopsin using Advanced Non-Thermal Plasma Technologies
(Corresponding) Schneider M., Rataj R., Kolb J., Bláha L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The application of non-thermal plasmas in wastewater and air purification received a lot of attention, but their potential application in drinking water treatment has scarcely been investigated. Classified as Advanced Oxidation Processes, plasmas ignited in water or at the air-water interface...Read more
Influence of the Environmental Factors on Contamination of Mediterranean Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Corresponding) Henigman U., Biasizzo M., Vadnjal S., Knific T., Kirbiš A.
Topic:
Pollution control and public health
Harvesting areas in Slovenia are monitored for contamination with E. coli as pollution indicator bacteria. According to contamination levels, areas are classified into A, B or C category. An A category means that there is less than 700 E. coli MPN/100 g of the shellfish flesh and intervalvular...Read more
Environmentally friendly disinfection of air and surfaces in medicine
Pintarič Š., (Corresponding) Pintarič R., (Corresponding) Henigman U., (Corresponding) Janković L.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Hospitals are faced with increasingly resistant strains of microorganisms. When it comes to disinfection, individual parts of electronic equipment of angiology diagnostics such as patient couches of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners prove to be very hard to...Read more
A practical time discretization methodology for adjusting the dosage profile in photo-Fenton processes
Xiangwei Y., Graells M., (Corresponding) Perez-Moya M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Photo-Fenton processes are effective for mineralizaing aqueous solutions containing emergent pollutants. Accordingly, a number of works has been dedicated to determining conditions enhancing their performance (Pouran et al.,2015; Wang et al.,2016).
Despite improvements, solutions are still far...Read more
