Irrigation with reclaimed water containing Diclofenac and Lamotrigine induces stress reactions in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Bigott Y., Perez S., Manasfy R., Montemurro N., Chowdhury S., (Corresponding) Schröder P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Pharmaceuticals as contaminants in treated wastewater can become a serious problem for food safety when they are used for agricultural irrigation. These organic contaminants can be taken up by plants and trigger abiotic stress responses which can eventually affect plant growth and development. When...Read more
IMPROVING INNOVATION CAPACITIES OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE RECYCLING OF LIVESTOCK WASTE
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Kallikazarou N., Koutsokeras L., Constantinides G., Constantinide E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The Mediterranean region is known for its intensive livestock farming, especially for the breeding of pigs and cattle. These activities result in vast amounts of waste that necessitate proper treatment. Inadequate manure treatment can cause eutrophication of surface waters, enrichment of nitrates...Read more
Exploitation of Treated Municipal Wastewater in Arid Regions Irrigation for Volatile Oils Production
Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
To avoid any contamination risk of edible crops, the safety use of treated municipal wastewater is growing industrial non-food crops such aromatic plants to produce volatile oils for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, etc. Two field experiments were conducted in a sandy soil in western...Read more
