Season Dynamics of Pollution and Changes in Enzymatic Activity in Agricultural Soil near an Industrial Area

(Corresponding) Sukiasyan A., Kirakosyan A.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The aim of the study was to assess the ecological condition of soils in three regions in Armenia - Hrazdan, Gavar, and Martuni. It was shown that the soil samples from the three regions had low humus content in winter. However, in spring and summer, a significant increase in humus content was...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

Spatial and temporal variability of Cadmium and Lead in Urban Soils of Thessaloniki (northern Greece).

(Corresponding) GOLIA E., KOROPOULI A., Papadimou S., KANTZOU O., ANDROUDI M., XAGORARIS C.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

In this study, an investigation was carried out to record, document and monitoring the pollution caused by heavy metals in soil surface soils in the urban fabric of the city of Thessaloniki. During the years 2021 & 2022, surface soil samples were collected in the spring and autumn of each year...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

The effects of plant biostimulant and mycorrhiza applications on industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) growth and phytoremediation performance

Karaviti T., Kotoula D., Georgiou P., (Corresponding) Papazoglou E.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a fast-growing lignocellulosic crop suitable for the phytoremediation of heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic contaminants on polluted marginal lands. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of plant biostimulant and mycorrhiza...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
