Development and promotion of the WEEE prevention culture in Greece
(Corresponding) Charitopoulou T., Vogiatzidaki E., Gkitzeni I., Malliaris M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
WEEE streams challenge the goals towards a circular economy, since WEEE contain valuable and scarce resources that could be prepared for a second life or recovered. In the framework of the project LIFE REWEEE (LIFE14 ENV/GR/000858), Hellenic Recycling Agency (HRA) aims to raise awareness among...Read more

Statistical prediction models for the odour emissions quantification in terms of odour concentration: Analysis and comparison
(Corresponding) Galang M., Ballesteros Jr. F., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Measuring odour concentration is a significant step to achieve efficient environmental odour management in continuous, objective and repeatable manner. To deal with this, researchers developed instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) by applying odour monitoring models (OMM) for prediction. At...Read more
Application of Risk Analysis to landfills: the experience of Brescia (Italy)
(Corresponding) Vaccari M., Gibellini S., Arnaboldi G.
Topic:
Solid waste management
In the Italian authorization procedure for the construction of a landfill, the Risk Analysis is mandatory in case of request for derogation from the current legislation (D.M. September 27, 2010), in order to demonstrate that there is no risk for the environment. This contribution describes the...Read more
Health Care Waste Management: Challenges and Solutions
(Corresponding) Halldorsdottir S.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Limited attention has been paid to health-care waste management despite an increase in public concern about the management of such waste on a global basis. The objective of this study was to analyse the issues and challenges of health-care waste management as well as possible solutions. It is...Read more

Material flow analysis applied to a waste treatment plant in Lombardy (Italy)
(Corresponding) Castro F., Fabbri M., Vaccari M., Cutaia L.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Material flow analysis (MFA) allows to quantify inputs, outputs and stocks of a system and to communicate results visually. It can be used for calculating process effectiveness, losses and for identifying critical points within a system, being useful for strategically intervening in a corporative...Read more
A comprehensive monitoring approach to evaluate the impact of an urban landfill on a naturally reducing aquifer
(Corresponding) Preziosi E., Parrone D., Frollini E., Ciotoli G., Sciarra A., Ruggiero L., Ghergo S.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The processes leading to high levels of arsenic, iron, and manganese in a naturally reducing aquifer beneath a landfill are investigated. Traditional groundwater monitoring (physical-chemical parameters, major and trace inorganic compounds, organic compounds) has been complemented with the analysis...Read more
