Screening of polar pesticides in groundwater in Hebei Province, China
Huang Y., (Corresponding) Rao Z., GUO X., YANG Z., LIU C., SHI Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
The agro-food industry is the main manufacturing industry in Europe, representing 14% of the total turnover and accounting for approximately 1.8% of Europe’s total water use. The absence of effective wastewater management approaches can lead to potential ecological ramifications including...Read more

Magnetic solid-phase extraction of pesticides in environmental water samples Fe3O4@SiO2@C18 nanoparticles coupled to GC-MS determination
KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous extraction of ten pesticides belonging to various categories (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) in environmental water samples. The magnetic Fe3O4@...Read more

Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more
Photocatalytic nanofiltration reactor for agricultural wastewater purification and reuse
Theodorakopulos G., Arfanis M., Agüera A., Cadena Aponte F., Sánchez Pérez J., Markellou E., Romanos G., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In recent years, the Agrofood industry utilizes pesticides for improving the agricultural production. Nevertheless, the presence of pesticide residues in agricultural wastewater can cause adverse impact on water resources and have harmful effects on human health. Consequently, intensive actions are...Read more
Environmental Effects on the Fate and Co-Transport of Pesticides and Microplastics in Soils Irrigated with Wastewater
Djebbari K., Li B., Shor L., Anagnostou E., (Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
In this paper we report results from a series of kinetics and isotherms experiments under different conditions (salinity, organic carbon, and temperature) that were conducted in order to determine the equilibrium time and the sorption response of typical biodegradable microplastics in comparison to...Read more
