Toxicity study of Norfloxacin degradation by advanced oxidative process
Costa B., Cordeiro S., Schweizer Y., Weber A., Haas P., de Oliveira L., Ethur E., (Corresponding) Hoehne L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) are promising techniques that have been developed to treat and remove these organic contaminants in surface waters and effluents. The objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of products generated from UV/H2O2 degradation of solutions containing 5 µg/...Read more
Assessing the Ecological Footprint of Natural Science Students: A case Study of Düzce University
(Corresponding) Gültekin Y., Gültekin P., Doğan T.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
People are consuming the nature's products and services because all people act on earth. The concept of ecological footprint is accepted as an important indicator of sustainable life issue and calculating human impact on nature. Education should be started from the relevant part of the society...Read more
Assesment Of Green Campuses For Sustaınable Cities And Society With UI Green Metrics: A Case Study Of Duzce University
(Corresponding) Gültekin P., Canik G.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Sustainability is a very important subject for universities.This situation concerning with size of area that they have, number of students, academicians, administrative staff, their excessive consumption of energy and materials. Related to these conditions, Universities have big impacts on...Read more
Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides
Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
The green projects as a source of proecological transformation
Grudziński A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Green projects are unique, complex, one-time and intertwined activities that serve to preserve and protect the natural environment. The implementation of green projects may affect the greening of some enterprises. At the same time, so-called "brown" enterprises will have the chance to...Read more

ADVANCED INSTRUMENTAL ODOUR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ODOUR CONTINUOUS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL IN COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
(Corresponding) Meloni M., Zarra T., Pittoni G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour emissions from complex industrial plants can cause potential impacts on the surrounding areas and, as consequence, complaints with the local residents. The identification of specific Odour control plan is therefore needed in the plant management. The current challenge is the definition of...Read more

Regional Variability and Future Trends in Carbon Footprints of Electric Vehicles in China based on THEMIS Model
(Corresponding) Hertwich E., Wu Z., Wolfram P., (Corresponding) Wang C., Sun X., Sun F.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This study analyses how carbon footprints of electric vehicles (EVs) in China vary across regions and how they may evolve with power decarbonisation. It is understood that carbon footprints of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) depend largely on electricity mixes, but few studies have quantified...Read more

Feasibility of combined anaerobic-aerobic system for textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye treatment: HRT effects and functional resilience
(Corresponding) Gadow S., Li Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An integrated continuous anaerobic–aerobic system has been employed as the treatment for synthetic textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye. A laboratory scale of upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) flowed by activated treatment was operated at hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 24, 12, 6,...Read more

Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USING BOTH CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DATA
(Corresponding) Dailianis S., Charalambous N., Foiniris S., Komodromou A., Cocilovo C., Dormousoglou M., Lyberatos G., Ntaikou I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present study evaluated the operational efficiency of a constructed wetland (CW) located at Andritsaina/Krestena municipality (Western Greece, Peloponnese, Greece), using a battery of tests and bioassays. Specifically, raw WWs entering the CW basins with broadleaf cattail Typha latifolia (raw-...Read more
