SUPERHYDROPHOBIC NANOPARTICLE-COATED PVDF-HFP MEMBRANES FOR INCREASED FLUX AND FOULING RESISTANCE MEMBRANE DISTILLATION
(Corresponding) TOURNIS I., TSIOURVAS D., SIDERATOU Z., SAPALIDIS A.
Topic:
Desalination
Water is one of the most precious natural resources of the planet. Global water demand is expected to increase by 20-30% in near future, mainly due to the increase of industrial activities and domestic use. In this context, up to now, many water treatment technologies have been proposed to address...Read more
Fire-induced oxidation of Cr(III) in serpentine soils
(Corresponding) Botsou F., Vitzilaiou S., Guerra G., Valla P., Kelepertzis E., Dassenakis M., Argyraki A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Ophiolite rocks and their weathering products are the major hosts of Cr(III)-bearing phases in the Earth’s crust. Trivalent Cr is rather benign, but risks arise because of its potential for oxidation to the toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent form. Manganese oxides are the most effective natural...Read more
Hydro-Chemical Facies Analysis and Determination of Dominant Water-Type in District Zhob, Balochistan, Pakistan
(Corresponding) Muhammad Z., Abdul T., Iram G., Hadayat U., Ghulam M., Malik M.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
Safe drinking water is a fundamental entity to people and other living things. This study investigates the -chemical facies and determination of dominant water-type along with their suitability for drinking purposes. Aqua-Chem software was used for analysis, interpretation, and hydro-chemical...Read more

Ozonation against a diverse suite of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater
Iakovides I., Michael-Kordatou I., Karaolia P., Manoli K., Manaia C., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aimed at investigating the impact of bench-scale ozonation, as tertiary treatment, on the removal and inactivation of selected antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and toxicity from wastewaters effluents. The novelty of this study concerns the in-depth...Read more
Do the weather conditions drive the spread of COVID-19? The Case of Greece
(Corresponding) Tounta D., Nastos P., Paraskevis D., Sarantopoulos A.
Topic:
Covid-19 effects on environmental aspects and urban life
The new global pandemic of COVID-19 declared on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization, has already caused unprecedented health and socio-economic impacts, worldwide. The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has been sweeping the Unites States of America and Europe since late September...Read more

The Lombard Dairy Industry in the Perspective of Circular Economy: Degree of Application and Improvement Potentials
(Corresponding) Mehner E., Fantin V., Pizzichini D., Vergalli S., Vaccari M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Circular Economy is an economic concept, aiming at increasing resource efficiency, recirculating resource streams and minimizing waste of an industrial process. Thereby, ideally, environmental impacts can be decreased while the profitability of the considered process is improved. This concept is...Read more
Investigating the accumulation of 115 pharmaceutical compounds in the water-soil-plant continuum and the leaching potential using lysimeters irrigated with wastewater from a CAS and MBR system, under real-field conditions
Iakovides I., Beretsou V., Christou A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse for irrigation is recognized as one of the indispensable practices for the mitigation of water scarcity. However, the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in TWW act as a limiting factor in effectively applying the reuse practices. The possible uptake...Read more
Creating the base for MSP; depicting the environmental status of Inner Ionian-Korinthiakos Gulf
(Corresponding) PARAMANA T., KARDITSA A., MILATOU N., PETRAKIS S., MEGALOFONOU P., POULOS S., DASSENAKIS M.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) reflects the need to plan and regulate all human uses taking place in the marine environment, under the scope of protecting marine ecosystems. MSP requires the identification of the specific ecological characteristics of the marine area to be managed, as well as the...Read more
THE FATE OF MICROPLASTICS DURING THE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF THERMALLY PRETREATED SLUDGE
(Corresponding) Cesaro A., Pirozzi F., Zafirakou A., Alexandraki A.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the water environment has raised as an issue of great concern, mainly due to their persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Municipal wastewater treatment plants have been claimed among the most important point source of MPs. Nevertheless, they act...Read more
