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
A pilot test in Eastern Bohemia for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons groundwater remediation
Silvestri D., (Corresponding) WACŁAWEK S., STEJSKAL V., VLKOVA D., KVAPIL P., KOHOUT P., HRABAK P., (Corresponding) ČERNÍK M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The bioremediation of chlorinated solvents is considered as cheap and eco-friendly approach, among the bioremediation techniques the stimulation of organohalide-respiring bacteria by adding substrates is considered as one of the most popular methods. Application of cheese whey was performed in...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
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
Phytoextraction of cadmium contaminated soils by ornamental plant: growth response, tolerance index and accumulation
(Corresponding) Gul I., Manzoor M., Zaheer M., Ahmad I., Shah G., Kallerhoff J., Arshad M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil is a global concern and restoration of contaminated soil is challenging due to its persistence and non-biodegradability. In this study the phytoextraction capability of ornamental plant (Pelargonium zonale) for remediating Cd contaminated soil was assessed. For this...Read more

Study of the potential of Rhodococcus strains for degradation of the pesticide Glyphosate (Roundup)
Gerginova M., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The experiments were aimed at studying the tolerance of the studied strains of Rhodococcus sp. M1 and Rhodococcus sp. D1 to the presence of Glyphosate (N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine) in the culture medium. A rich organic medium (YEPD), a mineral medium (VD) with 1% glucose and a mineral medium...Read more
Fire-induced oxidation of Cr(III) in serpentine soils
(Corresponding) Botsou F., Vitzilaiou S., Guerra G., Valla P., Kelepertzis E., Dassenakis M., Argyraki A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Ophiolite rocks and their weathering products are the major hosts of Cr(III)-bearing phases in the Earth’s crust. Trivalent Cr is rather benign, but risks arise because of its potential for oxidation to the toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent form. Manganese oxides are the most effective natural...Read more
Practical Applications of Groundwater Modeling in Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Modeling is a very useful tool in the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites, that is generally misunderstood and underutilized. Often, modeling is perceived as requiring protracted and expensive efforts, beyond the means of most projects. However, developing a clear set of objectives...Read more
