One-stage and multistage anoxic/oxic systems based on continuous plug-flow anammox process for mature landfill leachate treatment
Ren S., (Corresponding) Peng Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
As a promising biotechnology, the anammox process has been increasingly investigated for landfill leachate treatment. However, its application has been limited by the long generation time of anammox bacteria (AnAOB) and insufficient nitrite supply in actual projects. To overcome these obstacles,...Read more
Simulating the 1-hr Unit Hydrograph for the Ungauged Watershed of Swaqa
(Corresponding) Tarawneh Z.
Topic:
Prediction in ungauged basins and prediction under uncertainty
This study uses QGIS-3.28 to extract the geomorphological features for the ungauged watershed of Swaqa and employs SWMM-5.2 to simulate its 1-hr unit hydrograph (UH). Visualizing the watershed as an impervious surface of virtual curve number equals 100 subjected to an effective rainfall of 1cm...Read more

Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
15-minute Cities: a literature overview exploring international planning strategies
(Corresponding) Plastara D., Pozoukidou G.
Topic:
15- and 30-minute cities
The 15-minutes city (15mC) concept is a contemporary trend in urban planning which aims to improve the quality of life within the urban areas. The basic underlying idea is that all citizens have equal access to their daily needs within a short walk or bike ride from their houses. The main component...Read more

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In order to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils of urban areas, we conducted an experiment using a pharmaceutical phytic species such as milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gearn.). The experiment was carried out using two different soil samples (one acid and one alkaline) from urban areas...Read more

Spatial and temporal variability of Cadmium and Lead in Urban Soils of Thessaloniki (northern Greece).
(Corresponding) GOLIA E., KOROPOULI A., Papadimou S., KANTZOU O., ANDROUDI M., XAGORARIS C.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
In this study, an investigation was carried out to record, document and monitoring the pollution caused by heavy metals in soil surface soils in the urban fabric of the city of Thessaloniki. During the years 2021 & 2022, surface soil samples were collected in the spring and autumn of each year...Read more

Fair guidance in ratcheting up the national net-zero emission ambitions
Li M., Zheng X., (Corresponding) Wang C.
Topic:
Net Zero emission transition
National net-zero pledges have brought the Paris Agreement temperature target within reach, yet they still need a boost. Current evaluations and analyses of net-zero targets have fallen short in equity. We use a transparent and multidimensional approach to go beyond the long-standing dispute of...Read more
Environmental Effects on the Fate and Co-Transport of Pesticides and Microplastics in Soils Irrigated with Wastewater
Djebbari K., Li B., Shor L., Anagnostou E., (Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
In this paper we report results from a series of kinetics and isotherms experiments under different conditions (salinity, organic carbon, and temperature) that were conducted in order to determine the equilibrium time and the sorption response of typical biodegradable microplastics in comparison to...Read more
Keywords:

Revealing the Hidden Toxin of the Bottom Ashes from Open Municipal Waste Burning
(Corresponding) Ramadan B., Rosmalina R., (Corresponding) Rachman I., (Corresponding) Matsumoto T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Bottom ashes caused by open waste burning (OWB) contains a large amount of metal, which can harm human health when exposed directly to human or leached into the waterways. This study aims to reveal the metal in the bottom ashes and its potential health impact. Laboratory field studies which consist...Read more

Review and evaluation of the methods for building the Carbon Farming Calculation Tool
(Corresponding) Oliveira M., Guerrero C., Panagopoulos T.
Topic:
Carbon market
Agriculture accounts for around 30% of total GHG emissions worldwide. Carbon calculators are vital to accurately measure GHG emissions from farms and decrease their impact through carbon harvesting techniques. This paper aims to review various carbon calculator models and group them into typologies...Read more
