Bottled water microbiological quality in Estonia
(Corresponding) Vahur K., (Corresponding) Udras H., (Corresponding) Keir K.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
Water is macro-nutrient without which we can´t live. Nowadays people often prefer to buy bottled water instead of drinking the tap water. Stores are full of different bottled waters and studies have demonstrated that people tend to consider the bottled water to have high quality. The aim of this...Read more
Experimental approach for metabolic disorders as a tool to investigate impact of environment on reproductive health
(Corresponding) Pavlova E., Lakova E., Vladov I., Zapryanova S., Gluhcheva Y., Ivanov I., Svechnikov K., Atanassova N.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
The epidemics of obesity and diabetes have occurred contemporaneously with increasing use and exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals. Metabolic disorders affect male reproductive potential due to low sperm count and quality, reduced sperm motility and suppression of...Read more
Geochemical modeling as a tool to investigate chromium contamination in groundwater
(Corresponding) Apollaro C., Fuoco I.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The geochemical modeling is an essential tool to understand the water-rock interaction processes. In this work has been used the reaction path modelling to investigate the release and fate of geogenic Cr in ophiolitic Italian areas. During the water-rock interaction the geogenic trivalent Cr...Read more
Thermal swing adsorption for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D., Miteva S., Marinov I., Lazarova H., Popova M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The advantages of post-combustion capture of CO2 based on physical adsorption have been extensively studied in the last years regarding to the economy, environmental compatibility, and process’ efficiency. The industrialization of the process involves the construction of adsorption columns in which...Read more

Preliminary study on Cr-rich groundwater treatment by membrane processes
(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Figoli A., brozzo g., De Rosa R., Bloise A., Criscuoli A., (Corresponding) Apollaro C.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The aim of this work has been treat Cr- rich groundwaters through membranes processes as alternative to conventional methods. Chromium (Cr) is a dangerous element for environment and human health. Commonly, the highest concentrations Cr are detected in ophiolitic areas where ultramafic and...Read more
Lessons from long-term field phytostabilisation studies
(Corresponding) Siebielec S., Siebielec S., Stuczynski T., Sugier P.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Smelter waste deposits pose a threat to environment and human health worldwide. There is limited availability of long-term phytostabilization field studies evaluating and documenting persistence of tested remediation methods. The paper combines experience from greenhouse testing of most effective...Read more
A database of existing solid industrial waste reuse schemes as the basis for an industry matching algorithm
(Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A., Arampatzis G., Solomou K., Dedousis P.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
For the purposes of the SWAN Project, an integrated suite of on-line resources and tools has been developed aiming to assess novel industrial business models based on solid industrial waste reuse. One of the major components of this platform is an inventory of commercially implemented best...Read more

Influence of the Environmental Factors on Contamination of Mediterranean Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Corresponding) Henigman U., Biasizzo M., Vadnjal S., Knific T., Kirbiš A.
Topic:
Pollution control and public health
Harvesting areas in Slovenia are monitored for contamination with E. coli as pollution indicator bacteria. According to contamination levels, areas are classified into A, B or C category. An A category means that there is less than 700 E. coli MPN/100 g of the shellfish flesh and intervalvular...Read more
SWAN Platform - A web based tool to support the development of industrial solid waste reuse business models
(Corresponding) Angelis-Dimakis A., Arampatzis G., Apostolopoulos G., Dedousis P.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The SWAN platform is an integrated suite of on-line resources and tools for assessing industrial symbiotic opportunities based on solid industrial waste reuse. It has been developed for the purposes of the SWAN Project, a project of the transnational Cooperation Programme Interreg V-B “Balkan-...Read more

Synthesis of kaolin supported nZVI and evaluation for the removal of Cr(VI) and Ni from waste streams
(Corresponding) Toli A., Mystrioti C., Della A., Thymi S., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
This study involved the synthesis of kaolin-supported nano zero valent iron (K-nZVI) and the evaluation of its performance for the removal of chromates and nickel from contaminated waters. K-nZVI was prepared by mixing a kaolin sample with a FeCl3 solution, followed by the addition of sodium...Read more
