The Characteristics of soil contamination in industrial complex in Korea
(Corresponding) HYO JEONG L., GWAN JU J., JEONG HO C., SANG YEOP L., WON WOOK K.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
It is expected that the possibility of soil contamination will be high as industrial complex will be treated with many harmful chemicals during industrial activities. Therefore, the Korea Environment Corporation has been conducting a detailed survey of Korea’s industrial complex since 2004.
There...Read more

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an emerging contaminant
(Corresponding) Toskos T., Panagiotakis I., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
PFAS compounds are ubiquitous in the environment and in consumer products. Unlike other emergent contaminants this is a family of compounds with, literally, thousands of compounds. Our knowledge of toxicological and environmental fate and transport properties is an evolving field. On the other hand...Read more
Technology Critical Elements in industrial wastes as the source of soil contamination
Rachwal M., Jablonska-Czapla M., Grygoyć K., (Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The intensive development of industry, especially the mining and metallurgy, automotive and electrical industries, as well as the growing demand, rapid consumption and "ageing" of most products, including electrical/electronic equipment, requiring regular replacement, affects the amount...Read more

Long-term impact of use of treated wastewater on accumulation of metals in soil.
(Corresponding) Elsergany M., KARKAIN R., DIAMADAPOULOS E., Moussa M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The aim of this paper is to assess the environmental risks associated with the wastewater reuse with respect to six metals; cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in the city of Dubai. Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) is used for landscape irrigation. Samples of...Read more

Coupling Pb and Zn bioaccessibility with sequential and HNO3 extraction in soil from the industrial area of Volos, Greece
(Corresponding) Kelepertzis E., Botsou F., Sungur A., Sigala E., Daferera O., Kypritidou Z., CHRASTNÝ V., Argyraki A., Komarek M., Skordas K.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The urban environment is a complicated system where various anthropogenic sources contribute to the accumulation of metals in soil, leading to potential negative environmental effects. Within this context, we performed single and sequential extractions in contaminated soil from the industrial area...Read more
Season Dynamics of Pollution and Changes in Enzymatic Activity in Agricultural Soil near an Industrial Area
(Corresponding) Sukiasyan A., Kirakosyan A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The aim of the study was to assess the ecological condition of soils in three regions in Armenia - Hrazdan, Gavar, and Martuni. It was shown that the soil samples from the three regions had low humus content in winter. However, in spring and summer, a significant increase in humus content was...Read more

Using CO2- induced magnesium carbonate as environmental friendly additives for petroleum decontamination sandy soils
(Corresponding) Abdeh Keykha H., Mavroulidou M., Mohamadzadeh H.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Chemical pollutants, including petroleum contaminations causes soil pollution due to improper transportation, leakage, or storage. Several methods for soil decontamination have been presented according to the type of soil and their level of pollution. In choosing the appropriate method and...Read more
