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

Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls at Dilijan Landfills (Republic of Armenia)
(Corresponding) Aleksandryan A., KHACHATRYAN A., Bunyatyan Y.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are substances of wide distribution, high toxicity, persistence, and ability to long-distance migration. They are characterized by unique properties: temperature stability; high boiling point; non-combustibility; resistance to chemical and physical influences; high...Read more
Mitigating the Environmental Impact of Construction Projects through Effective Pollution Management Strategies
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Almacha A., Tana K.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
Construction initiatives can substantially contribute to air, water, and soil pollution, as well as soil degradation. These activities can have long-lasting negative effects on local communities and ecosystems. It is imperative to develop and implement effective construction pollution management...Read more

Simulating the fate of selected PAHs in Saronikos Gulf, Eastern Mediterranean, using a far-field water-quality model.
(Corresponding) Mazioti A., Kolovoyiannis V., Petalas S., Mamoutos I., Potiris E., Krasakopoulou E., Tragou E., Zervakis V.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of selected Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and predict their fate in the marine area of Saronikos Gulf. A three-dimensional model (Delft3D-FLOW) was used to simulate sea circulation and hydrographic variables (salinity, temperature...Read more
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
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
