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

Technology Critical Elements in industrial wastes as the source of soil contamination

Rachwal M., Jablonska-Czapla M., Grygoyć K., (Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The intensive development of industry, especially the mining and metallurgy, automotive and electrical industries, as well as the growing demand, rapid consumption and "ageing" of most products, including electrical/electronic equipment, requiring regular replacement, affects the amount...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

QUNTITATIVE PCR AS A TOOL FOR ANALYSIS OF DIVERSITY IN SOIL MICROBIOME

Drobníková T., Maryška L., Jindřichová B., Burketová L., (Corresponding) Siegel J., Valentová O., Lovecká P., (Corresponding) Macůrková A.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Majority of terrestrial soils are used primarily for agricultural production. The main factor of soil fertility is mediated by soil microorganisms and invertebrates. Soil microorganisms plays crutial role in ecosystems nutrient cycling and therefore any change in their diversity could have serious...Read more

COMPLEX APPROACH FOR ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN SOIL MICROBIOME

(Corresponding) Macůrková A., Drobníková T., Maryška L., Jindřichová B., Burketová L., Siegel J., Valentová O., Lovecká P.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the few past decades, genetic approaches for analysis of soil microbiome, e.g pyrosequencing, gained major attention and cultivation techniques were pushed into the background. The combination of several techniques could be useful and cheap approach for analysis of changes in soil microbiome. In...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

Implementation of hydroseeding methods as bioengineering techniques for soil stabilization and reclamation projects

(Corresponding) Kolkos G., Stergiadou A.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The protection of soil from erosion is an essential element for projects where we have to deal with steep slopes terrains. Those could be construction of roads, quarry and open-pit mines. The soil stabilization occurs with the implementation of technical works such as the installation of synthetic...Read more

CONTAMINATED SOIL MANAGEMENT IN GREECE: EU AND INTERNATIONAL BEST AVAILABLE PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(Corresponding) Panagiotakis I., Strompoula E., Dermatas D., Toskos T.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Contaminated soil management is one of the most rapidly developing environmental protection subjects. Unlike most EU countries, Greece does not have a robust Soil Strategy and as a result a Contaminated Soil Management Framework. Currently in Greece, contaminated soil management is part of the...Read more
