Identification of biotransformation products of veterinary drugs present in piggery wastewater during treatment with photobioreactors based on microalgae-bacteria and purple phototrophic bacteria consortia
(Corresponding) López-Serna R., García D., Bolado S., Jiménez J., Lai F., Golovko O., Ahrens L., Wiberg K., Gago-Ferrero P., Muñoz R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
This work identified transformation products (TPs) from 5 antibiotics and 1 analgesic, namely enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin, danofloxacin, amoxicillin, penicillin G and dexamethasone, respectively, present in spiked real piggery wastewater (PWW) before and after two different treatments in two open...Read more
Radiation-induced degradation products of 2-methyl isoborneol and geosmin: the role of different reactive species
CHRISTOPHORIDIS C., PESTANA C., LAWTON L., (Corresponding) HISKIA A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Gamma radiolysis can serve as an effective method for the degradation of organic water pollutants, due to the production of reactive species, oxidative (OH•, OOH•, O2•-) or reductive (eaq-, H•). The application of scavengers enables the selective production of these species. Our aim was to explore...Read more
Quantitative target screening and soil bioavailability assessment as tools to assess risks associated with wastewater reuse for irrigation
Beretsou V., Nika M., Manoli K., Lundy L., Thomaidis N., Revitt M., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Multi-residue analysis of various classes of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in wastewater, along with improvements in analytical methodologies, may allow for future application of promising wastewater tracers, thus providing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators and...Read more

Loureiro I., (Corresponding) Ribeiro C., Sepúlveda D.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Nowadays there is near consensus that cities have an important role to play in the pursuit of global climate protection and Sustainability. However, local strategies for sustainable development require a holistic and systemic approach, enabling multiscale involvement dynamics from a variety of...Read more
Shipyards, Shipbreaking industry and the contribution of the Industry 4.0
(Corresponding) Pournara A., Konstantinidis F.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Over the past years, a trend to monitor and control the procedures in various industries, has been attempted. It is known that the ship recycling procedure produces waste that turn to be highly dangerous for the environment, while the threat of atmospheric emissions is not yet solved. Today the...Read more

Development of a non-target screening workflow for the evaluation of micropollutants fate during oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Huynh N., Le Roux J., Guyot J., Moilleron R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Non-target screening (NTS) is of great interest for environmental monitoring because it enables the screening of numerous pollutants, including unknown products. However, methods to identify unknowns are still time-consuming and only deal with a limited portion of the signal. The objective of this...Read more
Cometabolic biotransformation of organic micropollutants under aerobic heterotrophic conditions
(Corresponding) Kennes-Veiga D., Vogler B., Fenner K., Carballa M., Lema J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The role that heterotrophs present in activated sludge play in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has not been clearly elucidated despite their increasing relevance in the conception of novel wastewater treatment plant technologies. OMPs are often present in wastewaters at concentrations...Read more
Transformation products of microcystin-RR with reactive species produced by radiolysis of water.
Iliakopoulou S., Triantis T., Antonopoulou M., Edwards C., Linda L., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Microcystins (MCs) are potent cyclic-peptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria during freshwater bloom episodes. They can severely impact drinking water supplies and recreational waters. More than 300 MCs are known today, which are toxic, mainly by inhibiting protein phosphatases. MC-RR is an...Read more

PROMETHEUS: Services, systems and methods for HEIs in the domains of Circular Economy, and Sustainable Development
(Corresponding) Lachana Z., Zlatinis G., Tsigkou K., Charalabidis Y., Kornaros M., Lekkas D., Klontza E.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Prioritizing innovation and entrepreneurship is difficult for European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), especially in the context of digital transformation. Despite fruitful partnerships, many HEIs struggle to interact with business leaders, share knowledge, and promote cross-border...Read more

Assessing the performance of an integrated column system containing zero valent iron nanoparticles and sodium persulfate solution for the removal of emerging contaminants from different wastewater matrices – Identification of transformation products
(Corresponding) Barka E., Nika M., Galani A., Mamais D., Thomaidis N., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment has raised the scientific concern because of their continuous discharge, their bioaccumulation and their potential adverse toxicological impacts on both aquatic organisms and human health. The present study has been focused in the...Read more
