Novel applications of Molecular Biology to aid in environmental bioremediation

(Corresponding) Duffield-Healy M., Fernaud S.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Bioremediation of environmental heavy metal contamination presents a valuable tool for an effective and low-cost method of containing and minimizing the harm of heavy metal contaminations. However, many common bacteria used in this application such as Acidothiobacillus ferroxidans do not have...Read more

A first insight of Hg occurrence in the hellenic volcanic arc

(Corresponding) Anagnostou E., Stathopoulou E., Heimbürger-Boavida L., Nomikou P.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Mercury is a highly toxic element with both natural and anthropogenic sources to the marine environment, with implications to ecosystems and human health. It is recognized as a priority pollutant by the European Environmental Legislation and the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). The...Read more

Evaluating the water quality of stormwater runoffs in urban area

(Corresponding) Yang F., Gato-Trinidad S., Hossain I.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

This paper presents the results of stormwater quality monitoring from four constructed wetlands located in residential and industrial catchments. Preliminary results revealed that pollutants’ types and concentrations vary depending on the catchments’ characteristics. It is found that the...Read more

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

Sustainable and Cost-effective Approach for Treatment of Plating Industrial Wastewater Effluents

(Corresponding) Boguniewicz-Zablocka J., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Corpuz M.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

The wastewater resulting from the plating industry contains high contents of toxic metals, such as chromium, which is a serious threat to the environment due to its cumulative effects and non-degradability. Several methods have been actively investigated to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous...Read more

Anthropogenic metal pollution in Saronikos gulf: historical evolution and risk assessment based on selected sediment cores

Panagopoulou G., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Yfanti A., Anagnostou E., Vrettou E., Filippi G., Botsou F., Xarlis P., Andreopoulos N., Moratis D., Stergiou N., Chatziathanasiou C., Damianou R., Dalianis A., Tsiparis I., Dassenakis M.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

Anthropogenic metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) are chemical elements known for toxic effects when present in elevated concentrations. There are various sources of these metals to marine sediments. The presence and levels of anthropogenic metals in sediments may cause adverse implications to ecosystem...Read more

Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba

Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.

Topic:

Heavy metals in the environment

In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more

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
