Topic:

Biomonitoring

Chemicals are everywhere in our daily lives, and we encounter them through various pathways. Human biomonitoring (HBM) is commonly used to understand our exposure to these chemicals. Traditionally, HBM focused on a limited number of chemicals analyzed with specific instruments. However, recent...Read more

Drinking water from surface and ground water: production costs and influence of the climate change

(Corresponding) Verlicchi P., Grillini V., Maffini F., Benini A., Casoni R., Mari M.

Topic:

Water treatment

Drinking water production may be affected by climate changes (i.e. intense rainfall events and high temperature periods) which impact on the availability and quality of the water source, above all surface water bodies. Efforts are being made to adopt the best strategies in the drinking water...Read more

Removal of heavy metals from real mine tailings coupling electrokinetic soil flushing and Bioleaching

Acosta-Hernández I., Muñoz Morales M., Rodríguez Romero L., Villaseñor Camacho J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales F.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

In the present work, polluted mine tailings from the abandoned Pb/Zn mine of San Quintín (Ciudad Real, Spain) have been treated by an innovative in-situ bioleaching process. Bioleaching uses the capacity of certain microorganisms of oxidizing iron and/or reduce sulphur which enhance the process of...Read more

(Corresponding) OLANREWAJU C., REDDY M.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

Floods are the most frequent disasters in the world with devastating effects on millions of people and the natural environment. The health status of any community is directly affected by the quality of their housing and the environmental risks they are exposed to. Rapid urbanization and the...Read more

Re-assessment Estimation of the Wastewater Treatment Plants’ Seismic Vulnerability

(Corresponding) Kerpelis P., Golfinopoulos S., Alexakis D.

Topic:

Sustainability & the SDGs

Many empirical studies use questionnaires for the vulnerability estimation of technical structures. Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are critical infrastructure whose the seismic impacts may affect the environment and the society. Interesting results are revealed from the comparison of seismic...Read more

Domestic Photo-Voltaic installations - their contribution and practcalities

(Corresponding) Venables R.

Topic:

Renewable energy sources

The roofs of domestic-scale properties used to haveone overall main function – to keep the weather out. But since the first solar-PV panels were fitted in the UK in 1994, it has become increasingly clear that, to reduce carbon emissions and thus contribute to the transition to net-zero, all...Read more
