Detoxification of molasses and production of mycelial mass and polysaccharides from Morchella conica mushroom.
Dedousi M., Diamantis I., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The impact of molasses on the fungal mass, valuable secondary metabolites’ production and quality characteristics of the edible wild ascomycetous Morchella conica, strain AMRL78 was examined in this study. Morchella mycelium were produced in submerged, static and agitated cultures and the C/N ratio...Read more
Biotechnological treatment of oil mill waste-water to produce high value-added mycelial products.
Diamantis I., Dedousi M., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Several trials with Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom were carried out in liquid state cultures, in synthetic media containing commercial glycose and olive mill wastewater (OMW) with phenolics concentration adjusted to 10% and 30% v/v. Results demonstrated that at the end of fermentation period the...Read more
Analysis of the content of germanium, tellurium and thallium in the grounded waste of electronic equipment
(Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J., Jablonska-Czapla M., Rachwal M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The article draws attention to the problem of the presence in waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE) of selected metals from the group of critical metals (germanium), strategic metals (tellurium) and highly toxic elements (thallium). Due to low content of these metals in e-waste, they are...Read more
Technology Critical Elements in industrial wastes as the source of soil contamination
Rachwal M., Jablonska-Czapla M., Grygoyć K., (Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The intensive development of industry, especially the mining and metallurgy, automotive and electrical industries, as well as the growing demand, rapid consumption and "ageing" of most products, including electrical/electronic equipment, requiring regular replacement, affects the amount...Read more

Determination of pharmaceutical residues in natural waters using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry
KIFOKERI D., NANNOU C., (Corresponding) BOTI V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of residual pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is an important environmental issue. Since the drugs are designed to cause biological responses, they could pose a risk to organisms in their natural environment. In this study, the presence of selected pharmaceutical compounds (...Read more

QuEChERS methodology combined with high performance liquid chromatography-UV/DAD for the determination of common pesticides in honey
GOTSI E., (Corresponding) BOTI V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Pollution control and public health
Over the past few decades, honey products have been found to contain residues of a variety of contaminants. Among them pesticides residues resulting from treatments applied either inside beehives or in the agricultural environment have become an issue of great awareness. In this work, a modified...Read more
THE INFLUENCE OF DANUBE RIVER HYDROGRAPHIC AND THERMIC FACTORS ON FISH STOCKS DYNAMICS IN RAZIM-SINOE LAGOON SYSTEM
Chioveanu C., (Corresponding) Simionov I., Patriche N., Tenciu M., Dragomir E., Oprea L.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The Romanian fishing areas extends over 7000 km2 and 50% of the numbers of authorised fishers conduct their activities in the Danube areas. Inland fisheries are highly important for income, food security and nutrition. Inland peri-rural fisheries face degradation due to climate change. According to...Read more

Geochemical modeling as a tool to investigate chromium contamination in groundwater
(Corresponding) Apollaro C., Fuoco I.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The geochemical modeling is an essential tool to understand the water-rock interaction processes. In this work has been used the reaction path modelling to investigate the release and fate of geogenic Cr in ophiolitic Italian areas. During the water-rock interaction the geogenic trivalent Cr...Read more
Preliminary study on Cr-rich groundwater treatment by membrane processes
(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Figoli A., brozzo g., De Rosa R., Bloise A., Criscuoli A., (Corresponding) Apollaro C.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The aim of this work has been treat Cr- rich groundwaters through membranes processes as alternative to conventional methods. Chromium (Cr) is a dangerous element for environment and human health. Commonly, the highest concentrations Cr are detected in ophiolitic areas where ultramafic and...Read more
FAST AND COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR USE ANTIBIOTICS BY UHPLC-HIGH RESOLUTION & HIGH MASS ACCURACY HYBRID LINEAR ION- TRAP- ORBITRAP MASS SPECTROMETRY
KALAMPOKA M., BOTI V., (Corresponding) SAKKAS V., ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Antibiotics constitute one of the most important emerging classes of environmental pollutants. This is due to their diverse use: in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial disease and protect the health of livestock as well as in human medicine to ensure human health safety. They are a prominent...Read more
