Negative role of uncontrolled landfills in Georgia in environmental pollution processes

Kuchava G., Buachidze N., Chikviladze K., Shubladze E.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In the laboratories the special research were carried to determine the pollution level in the samples collected, which due to the direct impact of these types of landfill sites on the surrounding areas, are often the main polluters of environment. The pollution conditions were studied based on...Read more

An Assessment of Soil Erosion using RUSLE Model: A Case Study from the Marmara Region

Ezer A., (Corresponding) Güven B.
Topic: 
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Soil resource is essential for livelihood of human being. Soil erosion is one of the most serious natural problem affected by land degradation, agricultural and other human induced activities, such as climate change, particularly the changed precipitation trend. The aim of the study is applying the...Read more

Electrochemical properties of SnO2/rGO nanocomposites

(Corresponding) Todorova N., Giannakopoulou T., Lekakou C., Arabatzis I., (Corresponding) Trapalis C.
Topic: 
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
SnO2 nanoparticles were deposited on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to obtain SnO2/rGO composites with high energy storage capacitance. For this purpose, graphite oxide (GtO) was synthesized and hydrothermally treated in presence of Sn precursor. The quantity of GtO was varied to tune the...Read more

Application of Ni loaded FAU zeolites in catalytic conversion of 1,2-dichloroethane towards value added products

(Corresponding) Góra-Marek K., (Corresponding) Srębowata A., Kowalewski E., (Corresponding) Tarach K., Pyra K.
Topic: 
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
The catalytic performance of nickel loaded zeolite materials was found to be dependent on their acidic feature that influenced metal speciation and its dispersion. The selectivity to ethane and ethane of the Ni loaded catalysts increased when reducing both the number of acid sites and average...Read more

Monitoring of bio-aerosols, gaseous and Particulate Matter (PM) pollution of Wawel Royal Castle in Krakow, Poland.

(Corresponding) Dyda M., Pyzik A., Drabik P., Istel L., Wiłkojć E., Buchwald-Zięcina O., Bogdanowicz-Prus A., Skłodowska A.
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

SOIL EROSION AS A CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

(Corresponding) Hupková D.
Topic: 
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The climate change and relevant negative impacts are currently widely discussed topic. The agricultural soil erosion represent the risks generated also by agricultural activities reflected in soil quality. Rapid climate change can cause the instability of most agricultural and forest ecosystems...Read more

Impact of reuse of the purified wastewater on some properties of soil. Case study of Ain Defla station (Northwestern Algeria)

TOUIL S., RICHA A.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
Abstract. Purified wastewater (PWW) is a major source of water and nutrients for many farmers in arid and semi-arid climates. The aim objective of this study is to follow the change of soil characteristics i.e permeability porosity, total calcium, electrical conductivity (extract diluted) and pH...Read more

Benthic litter density maps through low-cost underwater towed video camera surveys. An integrated approach.

(Corresponding) FAKIRIS E., CHRISTODOULOU D., KORDELLA S., GERAGA M., PAPATHEODOROU G.
Topic: 
Marine environment and coastal management
The marine environment is the final recipient and digester of litter. Floating and benthic litter constitute the majority of litter items in the marine environment while both remain quite unexploited due to their demand in high-cost and time-consuming surveys. In this paper we propose an integrated...Read more
