Screening of polar pesticides in groundwater in Hebei Province, China
Huang Y., (Corresponding) Rao Z., GUO X., YANG Z., LIU C., SHI Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the...Read more

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Agricultural activity of spreading fertilizers may, in case they are washed away to an aquifer, result in a groundwater contamination. There was a research conducted in Croatia on the lower part of the Danube-Sava canal which is occupied by extensive agricultural production to measure the...Read more

Thermal degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
(Corresponding) Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Dixon L., Lucas J., Grimison C., Bennett M., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., Kennedy E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of environmental contaminants, that are dispersed throughout the world. A number of areas have been affected by their persistence and biomagnification. PFAS remediation of contaminated material requires extensive knowledge of the species...Read more

Thermal Decomposition of Chlorpyrifos - an Experimental Investigation
(Corresponding) Weber N., Stockenhuber S., Dixon L., Lucas J., Grimison C., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., Kennedy E., Benhelal E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Organophosphate compounds are a group of chemicals that are commonly used in pest control. One widely used organophosphate is chlorpyrifos (CPF), which has been associated with acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE), an acute neurotoxin. Further, under thermal decomposition conditions, such as...Read more
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

Bioaugmentation process for PAHs contaminated soil remediation through microbial inocula from anaerobic treatment of lignocellulosic substrate
(Corresponding) Ferraro A., Massini G., Mazzurco Miritana V., Panico A., Pontoni L., Race M., Rosa S., Signorini A., Fabbricino M., Pirozzi F.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the present work, an anaerobic bioremediation treatment was investigated for reclamation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil. The PAHs contaminated soil was artificially prepared and seven different contamination conditions were tested. In particular, four soils were...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
Modeling the spatial evolution of nitrogen pollution in groundwater and the amount of nitrogen leached under potato crops in the Khemis Miliana Plain
(Corresponding) Richa A., Douaoui A., Djezzar M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The maximum concentration of nitrates in drinking water admitted by the World Health Organization is 50 mg nitrate per liter of water. Europe recommends a standard content of 25 mg NO3- / l according to the interdisciplinary research program on the environment (2009).
The present work quantifies...Read more
Origin of the salinity in the groundwater of the El Attaf alluvial aquifer
(Corresponding) Richa A., Djezzar M., DOUAOUI A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The choice of this research theme was guided by the desire to better understand environmental issues, namely salinity and its origin, through the use of geophysical data from various surveys carried out between 1969 (CGG) and 2002 (IFES), to highlight the impact of the geological and structural...Read more
