Untargeted screening analysis for mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino-acids in algae by mass spectrometry
(Corresponding) Parailloux M., Godin S., C.M. Fernandes S., Lobinski R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids have been described as natural sunscreens and antioxidant compounds presenting a great potential for health and cosmetic applications. Herein, an untargeted screening approach for mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) was developed by the...Read more

Application of non-thermal Plasma as an Alternative for Purification of Bacterial Cellulose Membranes
(Corresponding) Cubas A., Bianchet R., Cesca K., Silva J.
Topic:
Innovative environmental solutions
Innovation to mitigate environmental impact and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, encourages the cosmetic industry to explore new methodologies and materials. Biopolymers become attractive, such as bacterial cellulose that has biocompatibility, high crystallinity and wettability...Read more
Heavy metals in soil, sediments, and water from Lake Ohrid catchment (Albania)
(Corresponding) Bani A., Shallari S., Duka I.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Lake Ohrid is located in the Balkan Peninsula in South East Europe and it is shared between Albania and Macedonia. Formed in the tertiary period between 3.5 and 4 million years ago, Lake Ohrid is considered as one of the oldest lakes in the world, with numerous freshwater native and endemic...Read more

Towards a Holistic Approach for Small Island Tourism Analysis: The case of Camiguin, Philippines
(Corresponding) Reyes E.
Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
Tropical small islands are perceived paradise destinations for most tourists, however, small islands are critical biosystems with finite, fragile and vulnerable yet unique set of resources. These features are not highlighted as a defining character that captures small islands spatial challenges and...Read more

Impact on the effect of acetic acid in its aqueous forms on environments and its separations by solvent extraction method- A review
(Corresponding) Sofiya K., Karunanithi B.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Acetic acid is one of the top twenty commodities used in various industrial processes. Removal of acetic acid in its aqueous forms is a significant problem, and it cannot be discarded directly to the environment because of its acidity nature. The separation of acetic acid from its aqueous phase is...Read more
Keywords:
Acetic acid; Solvent extraction; Single & Dual Solvent
This study investigated the removal of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) in aqueous solution using iron-coated pomelo peel (ICPP). Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of initial pH values (2.0–10), contact time (1–1440 minutes), initial concentration (0.05–5 mg...Read more

Arsenic removal; Adsorption; Iron-coated pomelo peel; Water treatment
Development of an emission inventory for commercial cooking in Attica
(Corresponding) Fameli K., Kladakis A., Assimakopoulos V.
Topic:
Air pollution
The aim of this research was to estimate the pollutants that are emitted from the fuels used by the dominated types of commercial restaurants, due to their cooking demands. The study was carried out for the region of Attica; however, the methodology can be applied in many urban areas. For the...Read more
Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland
(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic:
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
