Elevated CO2 in air changes photosynthetic response of Hordeum vulgare and Bromus secalinus to cadmium pollution in soil
(Corresponding) Januskaitiene I., Diksaityte A.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The integrated effects of increased atmospheric CO2 and heavy metals pollution may have important implications for plant growth. Elevated atmospheric CO2 can affect plant defences through its significant effects on plant growth. Some studies have found that elevated CO2 can decrease oxidative...Read more
Neuro-, geno- and cytotoxicity responses in mussels Anodonta cygnea after six metals mixture treatment
(Corresponding) Butrimavičienė L.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Concerning toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence in the aquatic environment, six metals such as Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd are attributed to priority hazardous substances in many countries throughout the world (Water Framework Directive 2008/105/EC; US EPA 2009). In this study, time-dependent...Read more
Biomarkers responses in Salmo salar exposed to multicomponent metal mixtures
(Corresponding) Sauliutė G., Stankevičiūtė M., Makaras T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Pollution of freshwater from industrial, domestic and agriculture sources is one of the major factors responsible for the decline of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Europe. Biomarkers responses (bioaccumulation, glucose content, cytogenetic and behavioral endpoints) elicited by the...Read more
The effect of the presence of zinc on the precipitation of CaCO3 from supersaturated solutions
(Corresponding) Koutsoukos P., NATSI P., MOUSTAKI E.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Precipitation and dissolution processes of calcium carbonate in natural aquatic systems, are responsible not only for the regulation of pH but also for the transport of pollutants to and from sediments. Of interest in these processes, is the role of the presence of heavy metals in the aquatic...Read more
Effect of oxygen functional groups on mercury retention in activated carbons
(Corresponding) Sotiropoulou R., Serafidou M., (Corresponding) Skodras G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Two commercial activated carbons (F400 and RWE) were tested for their Hg° retention capacity, in order to elucidate shortcomings that still exist, with respect to the oxygen functional groups. The number and the nature of oxygen containing functional groups were altered by heating under H2 at 1100°...Read more

Nano-iron based coated biomass as packing material in fixed-bed reactors for Lead removal from wastewater: experimental and mathematical modelling
(Corresponding) Vilardi G., Di Palma L., Verdone N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The lead pollution of natural environments is considered a severe issue due to the high toxicity and mobility of lead ionic species. The present study deals with the removal of Pb(II) ions from synthetic wastewater by means of iron-based coated olive stones, used as packing material in lab-scale...Read more
Acid generation and heavy metal leachability from waste lignite disposal sites, Oropos basin, North Attica. An assessment on preliminary data
Kampouroglou E., Kollias K., (Corresponding) Stouraiti C., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Lignite mining in the Oropos Neogene basin (North Attica), especially in the areas of Milesi and Markopoulo, operated since last century and ceased in the late 1960’s. Piles of complex waste material consisting of lignite tailings and waste rocks are dispersed in the area between the above...Read more
Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of arsenic in groundwater in a rhyolithic volcanic area of Lesvos Island, Greece
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., ALOUPI M., GAGANIS P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
A research conducted in water wells located in the rhyolithic volcanic area of Mandamados, Lesvos Island, Greece, indicated that significant seasonal variation of arsenic concentration in groundwater exists mainly in wells near the coastal zone. However, there were differences among those coastal...Read more
Trace Metals In Water And Soils In The Vicinity Of A Small – Medium Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment Recycling Plant
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., Tzoraki O., Lasithiotakis M., Sinioros P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
A research conducted in order to investigate the environmental impact of an e-waste recycling plant to the soil and water resources of the surrounding area. Therefore trace elements in both water and soil samples were determined with Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Heavy...Read more

Mercury in Eisenia fetida and soil in the vicinity of a natural gas treatment plant in northern Croatia during the last ten years
(Corresponding) Prevendar Crnić A., Zgorelec Ž., Srebočan E., Kisić I.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study total mercury concentrations in earthworms and in different soil types at the same locations from the surroundings of four boreholes were analyzed by ICP-MS method, as a part of a comprehensive monitoring of the eco-system in the vicinity of the natural gas production and treatment...Read more
