IN-SITU REMOVAL OF ANTIBIOTICS IN SOIL BY COLD PLASMA

(Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C., Hatzisymeon M., Tataraki D., Rassias G.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Antibiotics are extensively used in clinical settings to treat or prevent human diseases, in veterinary science for farm and domestic animal health and in agriculture for crop protection. Due to their incomplete biological degradation, human and animal antibiotics are released through discharges...Read more

Cooperation of bacteria and fungus on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation

(Corresponding) Vrchotová B., Danda M., Lovecká P.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are diverse family of hydrophobic organic pollutants. They can be removed from environment by bacterial degradation. One of the process which could limit biodegradation is transfer of hydrophobic contaminants in to aqueous phase were degrading microorganisms live...Read more

Plastic to microplastic in the United Arab Emirates – plastic bottle caps in a hot, arid environment

Selem B., Alkarbi A., Alhosani A., Ahmad F., Elemam M., Iftikhar S., Mourad A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The degradation of plastic bottle tops as a common contributor to plastic waste in the environment was assessed under the hot, arid conditions of the hinterland of the United Arab Emirates. 500 bottles tops were collected from 5 different locations in the Al Ain area and their surface oxidation...Read more
