The abundance, characteristics and risk of microplastics in surface water in urban artificial steams of Saudi Arabia

(Corresponding) Barceló D., Alfarhan A., El-Sheikh M., Picó Y.
Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water is an indicator of the increase of human impacts on the Earth. In this study, water of the channels and ponds that conduct a mix of surface water and treated wastewater in two cities of Saudi Arabia were assessed to ascertain the influence of the...Read more

Analyzing the impact of Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in L’Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain)

Sadutto D., Andreu V., Illo T., Akkanen J., (Corresponding) Picó Y.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
The Anthropocene is the new geological epoch in which persistent changes produced by anthropogenic forces in the Earth are occurring. The global change and pollution constitute the prevalent binomial that must be studied jointly to alleviate Anthropocene effects on the most sensitive ecosystems [1...Read more

Biodiesel Properties from Chlorella sorokiniana Bio-Oil Cultivated Heterotrophically with Industrial By-Products

Kokkalis A., Kasiteropoulou D., Papadopoulou A., Metsoviti M., Mpesios A., Gougoulias N., Spiliotis X., (Corresponding) Papapolymerou G.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The fatty acid (FA) distribution of bio-oil derived from Chlorella sorokiniana and the biodiesel basic properties were examined. C. sorokiniana was cultivated heterotrophically in two growth media: a) glycerol and inorganic salts (GLIN) and b) glycerol and anaerobic digestrate (GLAD). The...Read more

Performance of a Miniaturized, Lightweight, and Cost-effective Parallel-Plate Differential Mobility Analyzer

(Corresponding) Lekaki N., Agapiou A., Costi M., Biskos G., Maisser A.
Topic: 
Air pollution
Size resolved measurements of aerosol particles are essential for understanding key processes in the atmosphere, and assessing their potential impacts on human health and climate. This has led to an increasing demand for compact and portable, yet cost-effective, instruments for characterizing the...Read more

TROPOMI NO2 and SO2 Temporal Changes over Large Point Sources and Their Relationship with Electricity Production

Cingiroglu F., Deger S., Ceker A., Akyuz E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic: 
Air pollution
This study focuses on the spatial distribution and temporal changes of NO2 and SO2 pollution over large point sources using high-resolution TROPOMI retrievals, and aims to find a correlation between the retrievals and electricity production. SO2 retrievals showed highest signals over power plants,...Read more
