Transforming wild rabbits’ overpopulation problem into a local biotic resource of Lemnos island

Vasios G., (Corresponding) Gialeli M., Zaragkali F., Roumelioti A., Tsiota G., Koufos G., Tapazidou P., Kakaroglou I., Antoniadis I., Troumbis A.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
For more than 20 years, the European Wild Rabbit (WR) (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) is considered a pest in Lemnos island, Greece, due to significant crop damage. Authorities took insufficient actions to control WR overpopulation, resulting only in managing its effect on crop losses with farmers’...Read more

Combined use of anaerobic and aerobic moving bed biofilm reactors for micropollutants’ removal from wastewater

Kora E., Theodorelou D., Herpich A., Gatidou G., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
A novel laboratory-scale continuous flow wastewater treatment system, consisting of an anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) and an aerobic MBBR, was used for investigating the removal of hydroxybenzothiazole (OH-BTH) and selected benzotriazoles from municipal wastewater. The system was...Read more

Kotoula D., Iliopoulou A., Irakleous-Palaiologou E., Gatidou G., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Batch experiments were conducted in order to investigate the use of microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana for the treatment of different types of municipal wastewater (raw sewage, anaerobically treated wastewater, aerobically treated wastewater) and investigate the role of light and addition of ammonium...Read more

Investigation of food additives readily biodegradability in respirometric tests

Vazaiou N., (Corresponding) Gatidou G., Arvaniti O., Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The biodegradability of fourteen (14) food additives, belonging to different groups such as artificial sweeteners, preservatives and coloring agents, was evaluated using the OECD 301F protocol (manometric respirometry test). According to the results, seven out of fourteen compounds, namely...Read more
