Sustainable removal of contaminants of emerging concern from wastewater by the living membrane bioreactor: effect of the co-occurrence of microplastics and antibiotics
Corpuz M., Gianattasio A., Buonerba A., Sannino F., Vigliotta G., Choo K., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been considered as sinks of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) including antibiotics and microplastics. If not well-retained in the WWTPs, these CECs are discharged to the environment. The co-presence of these CECs in wastewater lead to further...Read more
Environmental pollution significantly endangers human health, contributing to premature deaths, chronic diseases, reduced longevity, and declining fertility. While adherence to the Mediterranean diet supports increased lifespan and reproductive health, the influence of environmental quality remains...Read more

Study of the Ecotoxicological Effects of Metals from Scrubber Washwaters on Aquatic Biota
(Corresponding) Bautista-Chamizo E., Cabrera-Bayarri M., Nebot E., Moreno-Andrés J.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
The maritime transport sector predominantly relies on fuel oil as the energy source for ships, leading to the emission of exhaust gases that comprise harmful substances, which could cause chronic toxicity (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and inherently persistent (heavy metals), posing...Read more
Designing for Disassembly and Reuse: A Modular Repair Model Proposed in the Manual of Good Practices for the Production and Recycling of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(Corresponding) Machado C., Batista S., Gomes A., Fonseca P.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This paper proposes a modular design approach based on Design for Circular Disassembly (DfCD) to reduce waste and repair costs in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). Drawing from practical examples and aligned with European circular economic directives, the study demonstrates how product...Read more

Human Health Risk Assessment and Action Plans for PM10 Pollution: a new integrated methodology for Campania Region (Italy)
(Corresponding) Oliva G., Della Rocca M., D'Amato M., Di Biase E., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Air pollution is a global issue with harmful effects on both human health and the environment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution causes approximately 7 million premature deaths each year, primarily due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The study presents and...Read more

Maritime transport impact on pollution in Saronikos Gulf: modelling, insight and perspectives from two research projects.
(Corresponding) Kolovoyiannis V., Mazioti A., Potiris M., Mamoutos I., Krasakopoulou E., Tragou E., Zervakis V., Majamäki ., Hänninen R., Sofiev M., Fridell E., Kukkonen J., Jalkanen J., Poupkou A., Liora N., Skylaki E., Parinos C., Gogou A., Mihalopoulos N., Zerefos C.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
This work concisely presents findings and insight on the impact of shipping on pollution of an eastern Mediterranean coastal marine ecosystem - Saronikos Gulf, Greece. Advanced modelling tools (STEAM, SILAM, Delft3D) were employed to assess shipping-related pollution from direct discharges and...Read more

On-site elemental analysis of environmental waters using portable XRF
(Corresponding) Riikonen J., Tiihonen T., Rahmani A., Nissinen T., Haluska O., Tamarov K., Pennanen T., Turhanen P., Vepsäläinen J., Lehto V.
Topic:
9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES
Rapid on-site detection of metals in water is essential for timely environmental assessment, especially in remote areas or time-critical situations. In this work, we present a portable measurement system that combines preconcentration filters with a portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyzer...Read more

Modelling of Hydrogen Generation from Woody Biomass in a Novel Modular Downdraft Gasifier–WGS–PSA System
Kostopoulou N., Pappa G., Voutsas K., Liakos D., Prinos N., (Corresponding) Vakalis S., (Corresponding) Voutsas E.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
An advanced model was developed in Aspen Plus to simulate and optimize hydrogen-rich syngas production from a PP30-scale downdraft biomass gasifier integrated with Water-Gas-Shift (WGS) and pressure-swing adsorption (PSA). The adiabatic model combines equilibrium RGibbs blocks with corrective...Read more
Impact of Carbon-Based Materials on the Anaerobic Digestion of Citrus Processing By-product
Pedullà A., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Orange peel waste holds promise for biomethane production via anaerobic digestion, though challenges such as the presence of d-Limonene, an inhibitory compound, and seasonal availability persist. In this study, ensiled OPW was used in Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tests to evaluate its...Read more
