“The adverse Health effects of non ionizing radiation on foetus and child: is a mythos or a scientifically evident global public health challenge”
(Corresponding) Canna Michaelidou S.
Topic:
The non ionizing radiation from wireless technology: a 21 century revolution or a global pollution and health hazard
Exposure to EMF/RF is continuous, multiple, exponentially growing, affecting entire population actively and passively. Children because of wireless-enabled devices are continuously exposed. Potential health Impacts include oxidative stress, carcinogenicity, developmental neurotoxicity, effects on...Read more

RECOVERY AND SEPARATION OF VALUABLE METALS (COPPER AND ZINC) FROM ACIDIC MINE WATERS BY ION-EXCHANGE RESINS
(Corresponding) Vecino X., Reig M., López J., Valderrama C., Gibert O., Cortina J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Mining wastewaters, containing heavy metals such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), have a huge impact on the environment due to they are not biodegradable and tend to bioaccumulate in plants or living organisms. Therefore, in this work the performance of ion-exchange and solvent-impregnated resins were...Read more

Recovery of sulphuric acid and valuable metals (Zn, Cu and REE) from acidic mine waters using nanofiltration
(Corresponding) López J., Reig M., Vecino X., Valderrama C., Gibert O., Cortina J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Acidic mine waters (AMWs) contains moderate concentrations of sulphuric acid, relatively high concentrations of metals (Al, Fe, Cu and Zn) and minor amounts or rare earth elements (REE). The established management routes for AMW treatment include a neutralization-precipitation step, which implies a...Read more

Assessment of Concrete Footpath Upheavals in Heatwaves
(Corresponding) Bradford M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Most concrete footpaths are cast without steel reinforcement and in segments between bituminous joints, with the joints intended to accommodate thermal expansions (and contractions) of the pavement. However, a combination of prolonged heatwave conditions and the ingress over time of material into...Read more
Evapotransiration of crops and mechanical soil composition in Rhodes island
(Corresponding) Symeonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the green (from rainfall) and blue (from irrigation) evapotranspiration of the most widespread crops (olives, citrus, soft and hard wheat, watermelons/melons, barley, grapes, vegetables, winter/summer and spring potatoes, fodder crops, rest annual crops) in the...Read more

Final results regarding brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to mobile phone radiofrequency field representative of a 1.8 GHz GSM base station environmental emission
The Ramazzini Institute (RI) performed a life-span carcinogenic study on...Read more
Screening of polar pesticides in groundwater in Hebei Province, China
Huang Y., (Corresponding) Rao Z., GUO X., YANG Z., LIU C., SHI Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the...Read more

Potential of Using real-time OiW monitoring for control of produced water treatment in offshore oil & gas production
(Corresponding) Zhenyu Y.
Topic:
Water treatment
The produced water has been the largest produced fluid stream at most of the current offshore oil & gas production in North-sea. It is not uncommon that the water cut can reach 90% in many matured production fields. No matter the produced water will be eventually discharged to the ocean, or...Read more

Putting accelerated carbonation of bottom ash into practice: operation of a semi full scale continuously fed rotating drum reactor
Brück F., Schnabel K., (Corresponding) Weigand H.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Bottom ash is the dominant residue from municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel incineration. Disposal costs chiefly depend on the leachability of trace metals and salts. The mobility of these constituents is classically minimized by ageing the material for several months. Ageing involves the...Read more
