The chemical exposome in maternal blood and placenta and the potential use of sewage sludge to prioritize hazardous substances
Gil-Solsona R., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Bustamante M., Villanueva C., Gutiérrez-Martín D., Restrepo E., Foraster M., Gómez-Roig M., Llurba-Olive E., Sunyer J., Dadvand P., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P.
Topic:
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
Chemicals are part of our daily lives and we are exposed to numerous chemicals through multiple pathways. Relevant scientific evidence contributing to the regulation of hazardous chemicals require a holistic approach to assess simultaneous exposure to multiple compounds. Currently, the main way to...Read more

Occurrence and fate of OMPs and ARGs in innovative full-scale WWTPs
(Corresponding) Rivadulla M., Suarez S., Garrido J., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) presents a potential risk for human health and for the environment (Manaia et al., 2018). The scientific knowledge related to this topic is still limited, while new technologies are being implemented to reduce...Read more

Exploring the effects of static magnetic fields for the enhanced valorization of sewage sludge by anaerobic digestion
(Corresponding) Di Costanzo N., Cesaro A., Di Capua F., Mascolo M., Esposito G.
Topic:
Waste management
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an interesting and sustainable option to handle sewage sludge (SS), as it generates a methane-rich biogas and a digestate with potential fertilizing properties. Several strategies have been proposed to enhance AD performances and the valorization of SS. Among these, the...Read more

Improving the homogeneity of a sewage sludge-based phosphorus fertilizer by Monte Carlo simulation of the production chain
Vogt S., (Corresponding) Brueck F., Schnabel K., Weigand H.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Sewage sludge mono-incineration with subsequent phosphorus (P) recovery from the ash is becoming increasingly important in many European countries. Plant operators are facing the challenge to produce a homogeneous P output which needs to conform to fertilizer standards (including trace elements...Read more
The Occurrence and Risk Assessment of Microplastics: different treatment technologies for wastewater treatment plants in Oman
(Corresponding) Yavari Z., Al Amri A., Nikoo M.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Microplastics (MPs) are considered an emerging pollutant and one of the greatest challenges for many states and are a significant environmental concern that requires to be addressed. Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are usually suspected of being major contributors to environmental MPs...Read more
Application of KO2/ClO- advanced oxidation process to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on example of phenanthrene
(Corresponding) Nowakowski M., Andrzejewski P., Wolski R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Novel advanced oxidation process based on KO2 and ClO- was applied to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a wide group of compounds which are negative impact on human health. Phenanthrene was chosen to represent this group of compounds due to its relatively good solubility in...Read more
