Conventional and organic rice production in Northern Italy: What is the (environmentally) best?
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Luigi O., Marco P., Alessia C.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Italy is the most important European rice producer with about 230000 ha. Over the years the area dedicated to organic rice production is rapidaly growing.
In this study, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the environmental performances of rice production in Italy considering both...Read more

Occurrence and spatiotemporal variability of sunscreen agents along the polish part of the Baltic Sea coast
(Corresponding) ASTEL A., STEC M., ASTEL K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
UV-filters accumulate in tissues of aquatic organisms and induce negative effects on fertility and reproduction. Since they are “new emerging pollutants” general monitoring programs are rare and mainly conducted in touristic places, where high temperatures are recorded throughout the year (Spain,...Read more

Neuro-, geno- and cytotoxicity responses in mussels Anodonta cygnea after six metals mixture treatment
(Corresponding) Butrimavičienė L.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Concerning toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence in the aquatic environment, six metals such as Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd are attributed to priority hazardous substances in many countries throughout the world (Water Framework Directive 2008/105/EC; US EPA 2009). In this study, time-dependent...Read more
Do Environment-related technologies strengthen the competitiveness of local systems?
De Noni I., Ganzaroli A., (Corresponding) Orsi L.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Environmental innovation is considered one of the key drivers of sustainable development and economic growth. However, we still know very little about the organizational factors underling the development of this category of innovations and their relative competitive effect. In this paper, we focus...Read more

A comparison between the past and future expected wind conditions in the European coastal environment of the Mediterranean Sea
(Corresponding) RUSU E.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the last years, exploitation of the wind power has been constantly increasing together with the size of the turbines. Furthermore, by 2030 wind energy is expected to supply around 30% of EU’s power demand. Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity, since resources are abundant...Read more

An analysis of the expected climate change effects in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of the environmental matrix in the context of climate change in the vicinity of the main harbors from the Black Sea. The main environmental parameters considered for analysis are wind and waves. The climatic wind fields provided by the Rossby...Read more

Extended suspect screening to identify organic micropollutants and their transformation products as potential markers of wastewater contamination in riverine and coastal ecosystems
ČELIĆ M., JAEN A., BRICEÑO-GUEVARA S., RODRIGUEZ-MOZAZ S., (Corresponding) GROS M., PETROVIĆ M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
In this study, a comprehensive suspect screening of organic micropollutants (MPs), and some of their transformation products (TPs) and metabolites, was performed in waste, river and coastal waters from the Ebro Delta region (Catalonia, Spain). For this purpose, an automated suspect screening...Read more
