MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY
Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more
Exploitation of Treated Municipal Wastewater in Arid Regions Irrigation for Volatile Oils Production
Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
To avoid any contamination risk of edible crops, the safety use of treated municipal wastewater is growing industrial non-food crops such aromatic plants to produce volatile oils for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, etc. Two field experiments were conducted in a sandy soil in western...Read more

Investigating the accumulation of 115 pharmaceutical compounds in the water-soil-plant continuum and the leaching potential using lysimeters irrigated with wastewater from a CAS and MBR system, under real-field conditions
Iakovides I., Beretsou V., Christou A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse for irrigation is recognized as one of the indispensable practices for the mitigation of water scarcity. However, the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in TWW act as a limiting factor in effectively applying the reuse practices. The possible uptake...Read more
Occurrence and potential accumulation of pharmaceuticals in agricultural soils treated with wastewater under real-world environmental conditions in Cyprus
Beretsou V., Iakovides I., Nika M., Gkotsis G., Christou A., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Due to water supply shortages that result from climate change, urbanization, regional droughts and pollution, treated wastewater (TWW) is commonly used to irrigate agricultural land in arid and semi-arid regions. Compared to aquatic systems, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) only scarcely...Read more
Evaluation of the potential of four microalgal-bacterial symbiotic association on wastewater treatment and lipid accumulation
Talapatra K., Mittal V., (Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems have demonstrated greater benefits over the pure culture of microalgae. The existence of certain bacteria will increase the quality of sewage purification and also reduce the associated high capital cost for maintaining the pure culture of microalgae. In this...Read more
