Exploring the patterns of particle-bound PAHs in ambient air of an urban agglomeration (first results)

(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Gkaras S., Triantafyllou A.
Topic: 
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study examines the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM10 atmospheric particles in an urban environment, Ioannina, Greece (population: ~114.000). A one-year sampling campaign, spanning from March 2022 to April 2023, was conducted. Fifty-seven 24-hour samples representing...Read more

Investigating the Potential of Phytoremediation-assisted Treatment of Rainwater for Domestic Use using Selected Agro-wastes as Filter Media

(Corresponding) Bilaro V., Bilaro A.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The Bicol Region is one of the most exposed areas to natural disasters in the Philippines. It is economically reliant on agriculture, with coconut and rice among the important crops being produced. This study looks into the potential of utilizing locally available agro-waste materials as...Read more
