Analysis of hydrochemical time series
(Corresponding) Kolarec B., Žeravica A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Agricultural activity of spreading fertilizers may, in case they are washed away to an aquifer, result in a groundwater contamination. There was a research conducted in Croatia on the lower part of the Danube-Sava canal which is occupied by extensive agricultural production to measure the...Read more

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

CrVI contaminated groundwater in the Mediterranean: Case study from Mersin, Turkey
(Corresponding) HATIPOGLU-BAGCI Z., BAYARI C., CANAKCI A.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
Increasing population, industrialization, agricultural and tourism activities in Mediterranean countries not only increase the water demand but also led to deterioration of water quality. Water quality degredation is a common problem in all circum-Mediterranean countries and there is an increasing...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

A DPSIR approach to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies within Attica and Eastern Sterea Ellada River Basin Districts
(Corresponding) Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Kelepertzis E., Botsou F., Megremi I., Karavoltsos S., Mpouras A., Dassenakis M., Hatzaki M., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The holistic approach of the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) analytical framework in combination with Geographical Information Systems was applied to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies. For the characterization of “state”, 157 samples including field blanks were collected...Read more

Topic:
Water treatment
Contamination of water resources with Arsenic poses serious health concerns because of its toxic and carcinogenic nature. Detection of Arsenic at concentrations higher than 10 parts per billion (ppb) in some Philippine water resources confirmed the need for further studies on the contamination and...Read more

Long-term impact of use of treated wastewater on accumulation of metals in soil.
(Corresponding) Elsergany M., KARKAIN R., DIAMADAPOULOS E., Moussa M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The aim of this paper is to assess the environmental risks associated with the wastewater reuse with respect to six metals; cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in the city of Dubai. Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) is used for landscape irrigation. Samples of...Read more

Topic:
Air pollution
Krakow is now firmly established as one of the Europe’s top tourist destinations and, at the same time, it is one of the cities with the worst air quality in Europe. The Wawel Royal Castle is of the most important museum and predominatingly visited attraction of the city of Krakow (in 2017, the...Read more
