Determination of pharmaceutical residues in natural waters using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry
KIFOKERI D., NANNOU C., (Corresponding) BOTI V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of residual pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is an important environmental issue. Since the drugs are designed to cause biological responses, they could pose a risk to organisms in their natural environment. In this study, the presence of selected pharmaceutical compounds (...Read more

Analysis of the content of germanium, tellurium and thallium in the grounded waste of electronic equipment
(Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J., Jablonska-Czapla M., Rachwal M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The article draws attention to the problem of the presence in waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE) of selected metals from the group of critical metals (germanium), strategic metals (tellurium) and highly toxic elements (thallium). Due to low content of these metals in e-waste, they are...Read more
FAST AND COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR USE ANTIBIOTICS BY UHPLC-HIGH RESOLUTION & HIGH MASS ACCURACY HYBRID LINEAR ION- TRAP- ORBITRAP MASS SPECTROMETRY
KALAMPOKA M., BOTI V., (Corresponding) SAKKAS V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Antibiotics constitute one of the most important emerging classes of environmental pollutants. This is due to their diverse use: in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial disease and protect the health of livestock as well as in human medicine to ensure human health safety. They are a prominent...Read more
Hydrological and hydraulic modelling for a severe flood event in Sperchios River Basin
(Corresponding) Bournas A., Feloni E., Bertsiou M., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
A combined hydrological and hydraulic analysis is presented for an extreme flood event occurred on February 6, 2012 in Sperchios River Basin, located in Central Greece. This event caused the river’s overflow and, consequently, several damages to infrastructure and agricultural land. Sperchios River...Read more
Remarkable role of experimental olefin-maleic-anhydride copolymer based compatibilizing additives in PET bottle recycling
(Corresponding) Nagy B., Varga C.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Over the past 50 years demand for plastics drastically increased worldwide resulting in plastic wastes causing serious environmental problems. The main market sector of european plastics industry is the packaging industry most of which is polyolefins and poly(ethythylene-terephtalate). Polymer...Read more
A study of alkali-activated concrete mixes in seawater environments
Mengasini L., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
This paper assesses the performance in seawater environment of concrete mixes based on alkali-activated (AA) cements; these are proposed as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to address environmental footprint of cement production and to find new uses for waste materials. The proposed...Read more

QuEChERS methodology combined with high performance liquid chromatography-UV/DAD for the determination of common pesticides in honey
GOTSI E., (Corresponding) BOTI V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Pollution control and public health
Over the past few decades, honey products have been found to contain residues of a variety of contaminants. Among them pesticides residues resulting from treatments applied either inside beehives or in the agricultural environment have become an issue of great awareness. In this work, a modified...Read more
THE INFLUENCE OF DANUBE RIVER HYDROGRAPHIC AND THERMIC FACTORS ON FISH STOCKS DYNAMICS IN RAZIM-SINOE LAGOON SYSTEM
Chioveanu C., (Corresponding) Simionov I., Patriche N., Tenciu M., Dragomir E., Oprea L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The Romanian fishing areas extends over 7000 km2 and 50% of the numbers of authorised fishers conduct their activities in the Danube areas. Inland fisheries are highly important for income, food security and nutrition. Inland peri-rural fisheries face degradation due to climate change. According to...Read more

Treatment of drinking water by UV/Cl2: a study of β-cyclocitral, a cyanobacterial taste & odor compound.
Avagianos C., Antonopoulou M., Dimotikali D., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.
Topic:
Water treatment
Homogeneous photocatalytic processes are receiving increased interest with regards to drinking water treatment for emerging pollutants. Especially the UV/Cl2 technique has a potential for real large-scale applications as it can combine disinfection with chemical oxidation using processes that are...Read more
