Capability of high resolution satellite images to characterize urban surfaces: spectra comparison and correlation with in field/lab measurements
(Corresponding) Despini F., Costanzini S., Parmeggiani D., Ferrari C., Teggi S., Muscio A., Silvestri M., Rabuffi F., (Corresponding) Musacchio M.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Environmental remote sensing is an increasingly useful tool for the study of large areas thanks to new sensors with high spatial resolution. These sensors could be able to identify and analyse several urban surfaces, like roofs and pavements. Thus they could be used to study urban areas for several...Read more
Nitrogen & Phosphorous Removal via Anaerobic / Anoxic-Aerobic Processes and Struvite Formation in Mall Wastewater: Performance of Retrofitted Full-Scale Plants
Maceda M., (Corresponding) Rollon A., Sinoy M.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
With the new standards on nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) in wastewater discharges from industrial, commercial and municipal wastewater, there is a need for better wastewater treatment systems. Moreover, with the presence of such N and P in wastewater, struvite formation leading to clogging of...Read more
Radon Levels Inside the Caves of Bohol Island, Philippines
(Corresponding) Panlaqui A., Ballesteros F.
Topic:
Air pollution and health
Radon concentration in various workplaces, including tourist caves, remains higher than the recommended action level by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, which may pose a significant health risk. However, there has been no endeavor to investigate radon concentration in...Read more

Air-19: Reliable monitoring of air quality and microorganisms in postpandemic municipality building
(Corresponding) Katsiri E.
Topic:
Environmental Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Nowadays, the link between air pollution and covid-19 is proven beyond doubt in the literature with key pollutants being particulate matter and CO2. Our team has been involved in the development of reliable air quality sensing devices using low-cost sensors measuring particulate matter,...Read more
Use of residues from Eucalyptus Globulus as biosorbents for cadmium removal
(Corresponding) Hansen H., Gutierrez C., Alarcon J., Lazo A., Hansen M., Lazo P., Ortiz R.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present work studied the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions by a series of batch sorption experiments using Eucalyptus Globulus bark and seeds as biosorbents. Both biosorbents showed good results in cadmium removal. The best results were obtained when working with a particle size < 75...Read more
Impact of Fatty Waste on Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge at a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant - A Case Study
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Retman M., Lech P.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic digestion is a common method for utilization of sewage sludge at large-scale wastewater treatment plants. This process generates biogas, which is a source of renewable energy. Intensification of biogas production can be achieved, for example, through co-digestion, with fatty waste...Read more
