Air pollution and health

The detection of microplastics, defined as tiny plastics particles having a size from 1 µm to 5 mm, in aquatic environments has become a serious concern worldwide. Microplastics may be introduced either directly to water bodies or indirectly to the aquatic systems. In particular, microplastics may...

Issue 2

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Anthracene and phenanthrene belong to a group of persistent environmental contaminants called PAHs. Evaluation of the structure of two selected PAHs i.e. anthracene and phenanthrene on their resistance to destruction by UV-activated PDS was the aim of this study. The authors focused on two aspects...

Influence of Diphenyloxide Disulfonate Surfactants on Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons

by

Rouse J. D., Osamu Hirata and Kenji Furukawa

Issue 1

General

Testing was conducted with anionic diphenyloxide disulfonate (DPDS) surfactants (C12 and C16 alkyl moieties) with naphthalene in aqueous systems and phenanthrene in soil systems to investigate the influence of these surfactants on biodegradation of hydrocarbons. A potential for enhancement in the...

Eroded plastic pellets as monitoring tools for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH): laboratory and field studies

by

Karapanagioti H.K., Ogata Y. and Takada H.

Issue 3

General

Through transportation accidents or intentional releases, plastic pellets (small granules 1-5 mm in diameter) are widely distributed in the ocean all over the world. These pellets accumulate organic pollutants and can be used for the determination of diffusive seawater pollution. Pellets...

Investigating the properties of plastic resin pellets found in the coastal areas of Lesvos Island

by

Karapanagioti H.K. and Klontza I.

Issue 1

General

Plastic pellets (small granules, 1-5 millimeters in diameter) are widely distributed in the ocean and coastal zones all over the world. They are an industrial raw material for the plastic industry and are unintentionally released to the environment both during manufacturing and transport. These...
