Comparison between plasma microbubbles and gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for pollutants degradation in water
Meropoulis S., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This study's main emphasis is the direct comparison between gas-liquid dielectric barrier discharge (GLDBD) and plasma microbubbles (PMB) concerning the kinetics related to the contaminant’s destruction and plasma-activated water composition. As contaminants with different structures,...Read more
Destruction of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in water by cold atmospheric plasma
Papalexopoulou K., Ronen A., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Cold atmospheric plasma was investigated as for the remediation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contaminated water. The destruction of the highly toxic PFOA is a challenging task since it is a persistent and bioaccumulative chemical causing pollution in waterbodies. In this study, plasma...Read more

Climate change, air pollution, and risks to honeybees – a review of biomonitoring data
Soares S., Delerue-Matos C., (Corresponding) Oliveira M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Environmental pollution and climate change are among the biggest concerns of the World population and represent an increased risk for the survival of very sensitive animals and insects, including honeybees. Environmental health monitoring can be performed through the biomonitorization of sentinel...Read more
Speciation of inorganic and organic arsenic forms using HPLC-ICP-MS technique in aqueous matrices
Tenea A., Dinu C., (Corresponding) Vasile G., Iancu V., Niculescu M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The aim of the study was to develop, optimize and validate an analytical method for the simultaneous detection and quantification of As species (As (III), dimethylarsinate (DMA), monomethylarsonate (MMA) and As (V)) from various water matrices (drinking water, surface water and groundwater) using...Read more
