Plastics in WEEE screens: difficulties and opportunities to improve the recycling rate
(Corresponding) Arduin R., Grimaud G., Charbuillet C., Laratte B., Perry N.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Nowadays the screens collected by the official e-waste schemes in France are mostly comprised of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). Nevertheless, Flat Panel Display (FPD) collection should increase in the following years. Among other differences in material compositions, FPD screens have higher plastic...Read more
Feasibility of combined anaerobic-aerobic system for textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye treatment: HRT effects and functional resilience
(Corresponding) Gadow S., Li Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An integrated continuous anaerobic–aerobic system has been employed as the treatment for synthetic textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye. A laboratory scale of upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) flowed by activated treatment was operated at hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 24, 12, 6,...Read more

Acid generation and heavy metal leachability from waste lignite disposal sites, Oropos basin, North Attica. An assessment on preliminary data
Kampouroglou E., Kollias K., (Corresponding) Stouraiti C., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Lignite mining in the Oropos Neogene basin (North Attica), especially in the areas of Milesi and Markopoulo, operated since last century and ceased in the late 1960’s. Piles of complex waste material consisting of lignite tailings and waste rocks are dispersed in the area between the above...Read more
Membrane Distillation Treating a Petrochemical Reverse Osmosis Concentrate
(Corresponding) Venzke C., Giacobbo A., Rodrigues M., Bernardes A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This study investigated the applicability of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) process for the treatment of a petrochemical industry effluent, intending to recover water from the concentrate produced by reverse osmosis (RO). In DCMD, the experiments were accomplished with a feed and...Read more
Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area
(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...Read more

Effect of iodine containing irrigation water on plant physiological processes of bean and potato cultivated in different soils
(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Vetési V., Kröpfl K., Sandil S., Óvári M., Rékási M., Záray G.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Iodine deficiency is a well known environmental health problem in several regions of the world. Fruits and vegetables have been proven to be an effective way to increase iodine intake for humans by iodine enriched edible plants.
In our study plant physiological processes of potato and bean plants...Read more
Current state and challenges in WEEE recycling industry in Serbia - case study
(Corresponding) Berežni I., Batinić B., Stanisavljević N., Marinković T.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as a special waste flow due to the fact that it contains hazardous materials and should not be mixed and treat with other waste streams. In order to ensure adequate environmental protection and proper management of this waste flow,...Read more
Environmentally friendly disinfection of air and surfaces in medicine
Pintarič Š., (Corresponding) Pintarič R., (Corresponding) Henigman U., (Corresponding) Janković L.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Hospitals are faced with increasingly resistant strains of microorganisms. When it comes to disinfection, individual parts of electronic equipment of angiology diagnostics such as patient couches of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners prove to be very hard to...Read more
CrVI contaminated groundwater in the Mediterranean: Case study from Mersin, Turkey
(Corresponding) HATIPOGLU-BAGCI Z., BAYARI C., CANAKCI A.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
Increasing population, industrialization, agricultural and tourism activities in Mediterranean countries not only increase the water demand but also led to deterioration of water quality. Water quality degredation is a common problem in all circum-Mediterranean countries and there is an increasing...Read more
Method Development for the Determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys by ICP-OES, based on wastewater analysis method
Gkogkaki V., Karageorgis A., (Corresponding) Pantazis K.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The determination of Heavy Metals such as Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc in Aluminium Alloys is usually achieved following ASTM E3061-17 Method. Alternatively, for time and cost saving, the laboratory’s ΕΝ ISO 11885:2009 method for wastewater analysis was appropriately modified producing...Read more
