MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY
Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more

Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides
Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
Screening of 102 organic pollutants in groundwater along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in China by GC×GC-TOFMS
(Corresponding) Rao Z., liang m., Liu L., Gong J., Zhu T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Screening of 102 organic pollutants in groundwater along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in China by GC×GC-TOFMS. A total of 45 samples were collected. The targets of the investigation involve multiple types of organic pollutants such as Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their...Read more
Development of a novel GC-APCI-QTOFMS methodology for the determination of more than 300 organic compounds in Asopos river water samples
Panagopoulou E., Nika M., Damalas D., Koulis G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The site of interest of this study is Asopos river which is located in Sterea Ellada, north of Athens, and passes through areas where 20% of total Greece industrial production takes place. The extensive installation of industries in the area near the river, and the uncontrolled disposal of...Read more

Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat
Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more
New pillared clays for the removal of pollutants from wastewater by treatment with oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Kalmakhanova M., Massalimova B., Diaz de Tuesta J., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The constant development of technological processes aggravates the problem of pollution, due to a significant change in the composition of effluents that makes necessary the development of new (and/or improvement of the existing) treatment methods and catalytic materials. In this sense, the use of...Read more
Silver decorated TiO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites for photocatalytic elimination of water pollutants under UV and artificial solar light
Ibrahim I., Belessiotis G., Kaltzoglou A., Katsaros F., Salama T., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Water treatment
TiO2/g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposites were prepared and used as highly efficient photocatalysts. TiO2 nanoparticles were first prepared using a sol-gel process, and titania herostructures with varying amounts of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) were created using a hydrothermal technique. Following...Read more

Evaluation of the human exposure to a broad spectrum of organic chemicals and the potential use of sewage sludge to prioritize hazardous substances
(Corresponding) Gil-Solsona R., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Bustamante M., Villanueva C., Foraster M., Gómez-Roig M., Llurba-Olive E., Sunyer J., Dadvand P., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Chemicals are part of our daily lives, and we are exposed to multiple chemicals through multiple pathways. Relevant scientific evidence contributing to regulation of hazardous chemicals requires a holistic approach to assess simultaneous exposure to multiple compounds. In this sense, recent...Read more

The presence of organochlorinated pesticides in the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea: A Systematic Review
TZOURTZOUKLI H., PETSAS A., (Corresponding) VAGI M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Plant protection products, also known as pesticides, are chemical compounds that are used for the protcection of plants against pests, weeds and diseases which affect the quantinty and quality of agricultural products. The present study is a systematic review of the scientific literature regarding...Read more
