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
