Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water
(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more
Electrochemical Treatment of Landfill Leachate under Cold Climate Conditions
(Corresponding) Ambauen N., Meyn T., Hallé C., Muff J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study shows that electrochemical oxidation of landfill leachate (LL) is significantly affected by cold temperatures prevailing in Nordic climate areas. As hypothesized, the degradation of common wastewater parameters (TOC, COD) exhibited lower efficiency when low average temperature (13°C) was...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

Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Solar Water Disinfection Process (SODIS) is a simple technology using solar UV-A radiation (wavelength 320-400 nm) and elevated water temperature to inactivate pathogens. In the present survey, the effect of solar radiation on the disinfection of domestic secondary treated wastewater from the...Read more

Bacterial inactivation and study of damages in subcellular level during disinfection of aqueous samples
(Corresponding) Gounaki I., Lironi M., Venieri D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The objectives of the current study were i) to investigate the effectiveness of ozonation and UVA photocatalysis for the inactivation rate of representative bacterial strains, which are considered important for public health and ii) to study damages in subcellular level, in terms of disinfection...Read more
Ozonation against a diverse suite of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater
Iakovides I., Michael-Kordatou I., Karaolia P., Manoli K., Manaia C., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aimed at investigating the impact of bench-scale ozonation, as tertiary treatment, on the removal and inactivation of selected antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and toxicity from wastewaters effluents. The novelty of this study concerns the in-depth...Read more
To Regulate or Not to Regulate? What to Do With More Toxic Disinfection By-Products?
(Corresponding) Richardson S., Plewa M., Wagner E., Krasner S., Liberatore H., Jia A., Guo Y.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
Drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an unintended consequence of using chemical disinfectants to kill harmful pathogens in water. DBPs are formed by the reaction of disinfectants with naturally occurring organic matter, bromide, and iodide, as well as from anthropogenic pollutants,...Read more
APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia
(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

Peracetic acid disinfection: An effective way to reduce antibiotics resistant bacteria from raw hospital wastewater
(Corresponding) Chhetri R., Sanchez Urbina D., Lindholst S., Rickers C., Elkær T., Gade H., Skaarup J., Andersen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Risk of infection from antibiotic resistant bacteria from wastewater to the workers in the plant can be reduced by disinfecting wastewater. Peracetic acid (PAA) was used to disinfect the raw wastewater from hospital in pilot scale experiment. Batch experiment was conducted in parallel to confirm...Read more
