Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
This paper reports on the development of a novel CMOS device employing lead-sensing bacteria to assay lead in drinking water. The objective of the PlomBOX project is to develop a low-cost sensor (£10) which can expedite access to on-demand assay methods and thus help mitigate lead intake through...Read more

Heavy metals in soil, sediments, and water from Lake Ohrid catchment (Albania)

(Corresponding) Bani A., Shallari S., Duka I.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
Lake Ohrid is located in the Balkan Peninsula in South East Europe and it is shared between Albania and Macedonia. Formed in the tertiary period between 3.5 and 4 million years ago, Lake Ohrid is considered as one of the oldest lakes in the world, with numerous freshwater native and endemic...Read more

Evaluating the water quality of stormwater runoffs in urban area

(Corresponding) Yang F., Gato-Trinidad S., Hossain I.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
This paper presents the results of stormwater quality monitoring from four constructed wetlands located in residential and industrial catchments. Preliminary results revealed that pollutants’ types and concentrations vary depending on the catchments’ characteristics. It is found that the...Read more
