Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India

(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...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

Geochemical modeling as a tool to investigate chromium contamination in groundwater

(Corresponding) Apollaro C., Fuoco I.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The geochemical modeling is an essential tool to understand the water-rock interaction processes. In this work has been used the reaction path modelling to investigate the release and fate of geogenic Cr in ophiolitic Italian areas. During the water-rock interaction the geogenic trivalent Cr...Read more

Lessons from long-term field phytostabilisation studies

(Corresponding) Siebielec S., Siebielec S., Stuczynski T., Sugier P.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Smelter waste deposits pose a threat to environment and human health worldwide. There is limited availability of long-term phytostabilization field studies evaluating and documenting persistence of tested remediation methods. The paper combines experience from greenhouse testing of most effective...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

Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides

Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more

Interactions between rhizosphere microorganims and spontaneous plant species inhabiting smelter wastelands

(Corresponding) Siebielec S., Siebielec G., Sugier P., Stuczynski T.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Processes of spontaneous vegetation of toxic smelter waste deposits are slow. However permanent plant cover, effectively limiting dispersion of metals, should be based both on introduced grasses and spontaneous species to ensure greater plant diversity and resistance of such ecosystem. The role of...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

Origin of Cr in alluvial sediments and ultramafic rocks in Sultanate of Oman. Magnetic fractionation and sunlight effect.

(Corresponding) Moraetis D., Al-Suhai S., Pracejus B., Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Dermatas D.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The present study attempts to identify the sources of Cr(VI) in a coastal alluvial fan soil and soil from a chromite mine. In addition investigates the effect of photochemically oxidized organic matter in the Cr(VI) mobilization in soil. The alluvial bulk soil samples contain several evidence of...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
