A web-based GIS tool for environmental footprint estimation of agribusinesses
(Corresponding) Hliaoutakis A., Papadopoulos S. N., Kydonakis A., Doula M., Papadopoulos N., Sarris A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The deterioration of environmental quality and vulnerability to climate change of the Balkan Peninsula are escalated by the lack of specific financial and strategic measures that can promote sustainable resource management. Environmental problems of the Balkan countries need to be addressed under a...Read more

The mitigation of environmental impacts of high polluted effluents from tuna canning industry through eco-efficiency strategies
(Corresponding) Gutierrez M., Etxebarria S., Revilla M., Ramos S., Ciriza A., Sancho L., Zufia J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Food industry use high volume of water and energy to carry out their processes. Specifically, the fish canning industry generates effluents with high organic and saline loads, which complicates their suitable treatment before discharging to water bodies. The LIFE VERTALIM project has demonstrated...Read more

Effect of iodine containing irrigation water on plant physiological processes of bean and potato cultivated in different soils
(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Vetési V., Kröpfl K., Sandil S., Óvári M., Rékási M., Záray G.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Iodine deficiency is a well known environmental health problem in several regions of the world. Fruits and vegetables have been proven to be an effective way to increase iodine intake for humans by iodine enriched edible plants.
In our study plant physiological processes of potato and bean plants...Read more
Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water
Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more
Magnetic solid-phase extraction of pesticides in environmental water samples Fe3O4@SiO2@C18 nanoparticles coupled to GC-MS determination
KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous extraction of ten pesticides belonging to various categories (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) in environmental water samples. The magnetic Fe3O4@...Read more

Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Photocatalytic Degradation of Tebuconazole Fungicide using Palygorskite-TiO2 nanocomposites.
GIANNAKIS I.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
In our study a combination of Palygorskite clay mineral with TiO2 nanoparticles used for the decomposition of the common tebuconazole (TEB), C16H22ClN3O, [(RS)-1-p-chlorophenyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-pentan-3-ol], fungicide in water. For this purpose, Palygorskite-TiO2...Read more
Bioleaching for metal recovery from telecoms switchboard
Baniasadi M., (Corresponding) Farnaud S., Graves J., Renshaw D., Moris S.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a necessity for electronic equipment to function especially in the telecommunications industry. From a PCB for broadcasting networks to PCBs for office communications they are what makes electronic communications equipment operate. The sophistication possible with...Read more
Current state and challenges in WEEE recycling industry in Serbia - case study
(Corresponding) Berežni I., Batinić B., Stanisavljević N., Marinković T.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as a special waste flow due to the fact that it contains hazardous materials and should not be mixed and treat with other waste streams. In order to ensure adequate environmental protection and proper management of this waste flow,...Read more
Degradation of Cylindrospermopsin using Advanced Non-Thermal Plasma Technologies
(Corresponding) Schneider M., Rataj R., Kolb J., Bláha L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The application of non-thermal plasmas in wastewater and air purification received a lot of attention, but their potential application in drinking water treatment has scarcely been investigated. Classified as Advanced Oxidation Processes, plasmas ignited in water or at the air-water interface...Read more
