Chemical weathering rates and CO2 consumption in the Savuto basin (Sila Massif, Italy) inferred from riverine water chemistry

(Corresponding) Fuoco I., De Rosa R., Timpano A., Cundari F., Apollaro C.
Topic: 
River systems in diverse climates and environments
The aim of this work was to estimate the silicates (SWR) and carbonates (CWR) weathering rates as well as the CO2 consumption in the Savuto basin (Sila Massif, Southern Italy), studying the riverine water chemistry. Six sampling sites were investigated. Starting from the rain composition,...Read more

Degradation assessment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) debris after long exposure to marine conditions

(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Efthimiadou E., Filippides A., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more
