Application of QuEChERS-GCxGC-TOF MS method for the determination of flame retardants in aquaculture fish samples.

Efthimiou C., Sykalia D., Tsoutsi C., Konstantinou I., Albanis T., (Corresponding) HELA D.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are two groups of chemical compounds commonly found in the aquatic environment, mainly because of their widespread use in consumer and industrial products. These substances can accumulate in fish, especially in...Read more

Complementary approaches to characterize rhizospheric microbial diversity of Pistacia lentiscus in a highly contaminated mine tailing dump

Mandaresu M., Vitali F., Mocali S., Cappai G., (Corresponding) Tamburini E.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Among phytoremediation strategies, phytostabilization takes place at the root-substrate interface, where excluder-type metallophytes and their root-associated microorganisms reduce metal mobility and bioavailability. The effectiveness of this process largely depends on the structure and function of...Read more

Comprehensive Target, Suspect, and Non-Target Screening Using LC-HRMS of Pharmaceuticals and Their Transformation Products in Biological Treatment Systems

Jang H., (Corresponding) Jeon J.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

This study employed LC-HRMS-based target, suspect, and non-target screening to investigate the occurrence, behavior, and environmental risk of pharmaceuticals (PCs) and their transformation products (TPs) in a biological treatment system (BTS). A total of 82 compounds (43 confirmed, 39 tentatively...Read more

Detox NH3 Textiles - Clean Air for Pig, Man & Environment

(Corresponding) Opwis K.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

The DTNW has been working successfully for many years on the development of so-called adsorber textiles, which are suitable, for example, for the enrichment and recovery of precious metals from industrial process waters, where they can make a significant contribution to improving circulation flows...Read more

Distribution of lithium and fluorine containing compounds in the Hungarian section of the Danube River

(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Orenibi E., Illés Á., Sandil S., Endrédi A., Szekeres J., Záray G.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Due to the increasing production and recycling of lithi-um batteries over the world, we can calculate with in-creasing fluorine contamination in the aquatic environ-ment and drinking water reservoirs. This study was con-ducted to qualification and quantification of five parame-ters; elemental...Read more

Effect of different metals on the chromate reductase activity of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1

(Corresponding) Almalvez J., Chang H., Zhao Y., Wu L., Ballesteros F., Wu S.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Bioreduction of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater has been extensively studied because of the process’s low cost and high effectiveness. While several bacteria were found to be capable of reducing Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III), reduction in the presence of other pollutants is...Read more

Salinity on growth and chromium reduction abilities of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1

(Corresponding) Almalvez J., Chang H., Zhao Y., Wu L., Ballesteros F., Wu S.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Use of bacteria in removal of heavy metals, including hexavalent chromium Cr(VI), has been proven to be as effective yet more eco-friendly compared to other existing technologies. However, polluted wastewater usually contains high amounts of salts in addition to the heavy metals and may interfere...Read more

Concentration ratio of copper to antimony in dust - an indicator for brake dust?

(Corresponding) Lanzerstorfer C.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Sources for antimony in road dust is abrasion of brake pads and brake linings and organic antimony compounds used as additives in grease and oil. Copper is also contained in brake linings and pads, but it is also contained in tire tread. Additionally, copper is released by wear and abrasion of...Read more

Factors Influencing Particulate Matter Variability in an Urban Street in Chios

(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Salaveri S., Maroulis C.

Topic:

7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

This study examines how traffic flow, suburban PM2.5 concentrations, noise and meteorological factors influence particulate matter levels in an urban street. Spearman’s correlation analysis reveals that urban PM10 concentrations are moderately and significantly correlated with traffic flow (ρ=0.574...Read more
