Sustainable purification of greywater with green walls
(Corresponding) Boano F., Caruso A., Costamagna E., Fiore S., Demichelis F., Ridolfi L., Galvão A., Pisoeiro J., Rizzo A., Masi F.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In this study, we describe a sustainable system for treatment and reuse of grey wastewater in urban areas through vertical green walls constructed on unused surfaces of buildings. The system integrates the benefits linked to the introduction of green spaces in urban areas with the advantages...Read more

Valorisation of waste polyethylene by blending with ethylene-vinyl acetate and incorporation of a new type of compatibilizer
(Corresponding) Simon-Stőger L., Varga C.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Nowadays polyethylene is one of the polymers produced in the greatest volume, therefore, parallelly the amount of generated waste polyethylene (w-HDPE) significant as well. Valorisation and recycling of w-HDPE can be realized by blending with different types of polymers and/or elastomers in order...Read more

Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area
(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...Read more
