Conteduca F., Francardo C., Paradiso G., (Corresponding) Turdo R., Balestra V., Bellopede R., Comino E.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
AKANoah PoliTo is a student team from Politecnico di Torino which aims to design an environmental monitoring strategy for the urban river ecosystem and a plastic waste collection system.
Data gathering and analysis are key for monitoring, mitigating, and preventing pollution of such a pivotal...Read more
Changes in geomorphic units alter nitrogen fixation in a large lowland tropical river
(Corresponding) Gani M.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
The present investigation was carried out over 50 km reach, the Padma River of Bangladesh, downstream of the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. The study area is highly dynamic, with diverse geomorphic units, high rates of bank erosion, and sediment abstraction. Sentinel-2 imagery (...Read more

Predictive Transport Model of Bisphenol-A in Main Pampanga River
(Corresponding) Austero S., Resurreccion A., Rollon A., Ballesteros F., Kwan C., Herrera E., Sinoy M., Macasieb R.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) like Bisphenol-A (BPA) can interfere in the natural processes being done by the endocrine system of living organisms. To assess the effect of such contaminant in the Main Pampanga River of the Philippines, a transport model was developed using the...Read more

Potential contaminants and risk assessment in the Meriç-Ergene Basin under the EU Water Framework Directive
(Corresponding) EKER S., ÇOKAY E.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The European Union's Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC provides a strategic solution to deal with chemical pollution in rivers. The directive encompasses monitoring and detection of 45 priority pollutants and specific contaminants found in surface waters. An increase in the number of...Read more

Year-round assessment of water pollutants in five Greek rivers
(Corresponding) Lymperopoulou T., Zarkaliou A., Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
River systems in diverse climates and environments
Globally, an estimated 80% of industrial and municipal wastewater is discharged into the environment without any prior treatment, with adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. The current study was conducted for a year-round assessment of water pollutants in five Greek rivers (Glafkos,...Read more
