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

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

Applications of Remote Sensing in Remediation of Contaminated Water and Soil

BUTU M., (Corresponding) RODINO S.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

This paper reviews the use of remote sensing for practical applications in remediation of contaminated water and soil. Due to their flexibility of use, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) open interesting new prospects in the management of remediation of contaminated water and soil regarding various...Read more

Trifluralin-polluted soil treatment using nanosecond pulsed DBD plasma

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

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) was examined as an advanced oxidation process (AOP) for the remediation of trifluralin in soil. Trifluralin is a commonly used herbicide, which is toxic and persistent in soil. CAP experiments were conducted using a cylinder-to-cylindrical-grid reactor layout, driven...Read more

Column experiments to investigate the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the subsurface during soil stabilization with colloidal activated carbon

(Corresponding) Niarchos G., B. Kleja D., Ahrens L., Fagerlund F.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Remediation of sites contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is key to reduce the contamination of drinking water sources and subsequent human exposure. PFAS production and use is increasingly being restricted worldwide, however, legacy contamination plumes in soil and...Read more

Reductive Debromination of 1,2-dibromoethane and tribromoethylene by a Shrimp-Shell Biochar and Green Rust Composite

(Corresponding) Lindhardt J., Holm P., Lu C., Hansen H.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Simple brominated ethanes and ethylenes like 1,2-dibromoethane (DBA) and tribromoethylene (TrBE) are widespread, toxic contaminants and able to persist in soil and groundwater. Some of these compounds are used as intermediates in the production of resins and as wood preservatives. Previous uses...Read more
