OTAER biotechnology: a new pathway of reaching the Zero Net Carbon in Odours Treatment
(Corresponding) Romano F., Mariniello A., Oliva G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Zarra T.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Emissions of odours into ambient air represent a serious problem and cause for conflict, due to the effects they cause on the population and on the exposed environment. Their treatment is therefore a priority. The approach currently pursued by the conventional odour treatment technologies is...Read more
Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more

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
Sensitive method for the simultaneous detection of ten azole contaminants in water samples by SPE-LC-MS/MS
Iancu V., (Corresponding) Tenea A., Chiriac F., Pirvu F., Serban G., Cojocaru V., Vasile G.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A new analytical method was developed for the determination of azole contaminants from environmental samples (surface water, drinking water, wastewater) by solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantification. The separation of the compounds...Read more
