Flame Retardants (polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs) and Organophoshates, OPFRs) In Dust from Canadian Fire Stations
Brown R., Tarrant D., Gill R., Dhaliwal J., Sarala R., Patton S., Park J., (Corresponding) Petreas M.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
Dust is a good medium to assess indoor exposures to many persistent organics, including flame retardants. With concerns regarding persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity of many flame retardants, a series of bans and regulations have created shifts in their usage. For firefighters, exposures to...Read more

Micro-pollutants, Oxidants, Catalysts and the Water Matrix: A Harmonic Quartet or the War of the Roses?
(Corresponding) MANTZAVINOS D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs, e.g. heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalysis, electrochemical oxidation, ozonation, ultrasound irradiation, Fenton and alike reactions, and many more) have been investigated for the treatment of emerging pollutants over the past 20 years (Klavarioti et al.,...Read more
Influence of the addition of M2+ (M: Co, Cu, Zn) on the properties and activity of W-TiO2 and Mo-TiO2 photocatalysts for water remediation
Mergenbayeva S., (Corresponding) Poulopoulos S., Grilla E., Vakros J., Mantzavinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, ternary systems of M1M2TiO2 (M1:Co, Cu, Zn) M2 (WO3, MoO3) were prepared and tested for the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole. It was found that W-oxo species can be used without significant alteration of the TiO2 activity, while only Cu is a possible candidate for the...Read more
Rapidly growing cities and critical environmental issues: An evaluation model to support policy-making
(Corresponding) Nesticò A., Somma P., Maselli G., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The use of multi-criteria analysis methods as a decision support tool plays a crucial role in defining spatial policies oriented towards environmental quality enhancement, social and cultural development, and economic feasibility. In order to support sustainable city governance processes, purpose...Read more
Challenges for the development of green organizations
(Corresponding) Grudziński A., (Corresponding) Sulich A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The ecological nature of the organization is one of the important topics discussed in the field of the theory of durable and sustainable development and CSR practices. What is more, being a "green organization" has become not only fashionable but also beneficial. Ecological issues are...Read more

The inter-organizational green careers – literature review and a conceptual framework
(Corresponding) Sulich A., Piwowar-Sulej K.
Topic:
Innovative environmental solutions
The analysis of publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science databases revealed that there is a lack of research on designing an internal green career in companies. Therefore, the paper aims to present the searching results and characterize the possibilities of the development of internal...Read more
Keywords:
Environmental management, green HRM, green jobs, sustainable development
The effects of the Circular Economy (CE) are positive and negative. However, the beneficial aspects are widely considered. The CE creates a link between economic growth and limited resources by cuts waste from the production system. Therefore, CE is associated with increased prosperity, the...Read more

Adsorption of heavy metals (hexavalent chromium, lead, manganese and cadmium) on multiwall carbon nanotubes
(Corresponding) Mpouras T., Papadaki S., Dermatas D., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Nanotechnology holds great potential in the sector of water/wastewater treatment since it is considered as an advanced technology for improving water quality. Carbon nanotubes is a carbonaceous material that shows exceptional adsorption capacity for the removal of heavy metals due to their novel...Read more
Evaluation of calcium polysulfide as a reducing agent for the restoration of a Cr(VI)-contaminated aquifer
(Corresponding) MPOURAS T., PAPASSIOPI N., LAGKOUVARDOS K., MYSTRIOTI C., DERMATAS D.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
This work aims at investigating the efficiency of applying calcium polysulfide (CPS) as a reducing agent for the decontamination of a heavily Cr(VI)-contaminated aquifer. Series of batch experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the reductive behavior of CPS towards the aqueous and solid...Read more
Contribution to the exploitation of oil by-products for use in the production of quality feed through the fermentation with the fungal strain LGAM P123 of basidiomyces Pleurotus ostreatus
(Corresponding) KARALIS I., ΑRAPOGLOY D., CHORIANOPOYLOS N., ILIOPOYLOS C.
Topic:
Solid waste management
In Greece, large quantities of by-products are produced annually from urban and industrial activities among them very high olive oil productionby-products. Thus, the interest of the scientific community has focused on the utilization of olive oil waste mainly as a feed using various microorganisms...Read more
