Evaluation of different thermal conditions based on THI under different kind of tree types – as a specific case in a Ata Botanic Garden in eastern Turkey
General
Outdoor recreation is an important issue for people living in areas where they face problems caused by harsh climatic features like the city of Erzurum. The aim of this study was to determine the favourable features of tree species, which can grow in the city, for human bioclimatic comfort...
Inorganic and organic contamination in sediment from Izmir bay (Turkey) and Mytilene harbor (Greece)
General
Marine sediment contamination was evaluated in a set of sediment specimens collected from Izmir Bay (Turkey) and from Mytilene Harbor (Greece) in the Aegean Sea. Eight sediment specimens from Izmir (#IZ to #IZ8) and seven sediment specimens from Mytilene (#MYT1 to #MYT7) were analyzed for their...
Pharmaceuticals and related compounds as emerging pollutants in water: analytical aspects
General
Emerging pollutants are increasingly detected in aqueous environmental samples, with pharmaceuticals and related compounds consisting a large category with many diverse groups, including parent compounds and their metabolites/transformation products. Significant research is performed on this subject...
Phytoremediation of Soil Contaminated with Nickel by Lepidium sativum; Optimization by Response Surface methodology
General
Phytoremediation is an alternative to traditional chemical and ways of treating polluted soils. The current study was carried out to investigate the phytoremediation of soil contaminated with nickel (Ni) by Lepidium sativum. Soil samples from 0 to 10 cm depth were collected. Lepidium sativum was...
Biological removal of chloro-organic compounds from bagasse soda pulp bleaching effluent by Coriolus versicolor
General
The potential of rainbow fungus (Coriolus versicolor) for bioremediation of bagasse soda pulp bleaching effluent containing chlorinated organic compounds was investigated without co-substrate addition. Initially, the effect of each of the operating variable including time, temperature, pH, and...
Removal of natural organic matter from groundwater using fenton’s process
General
Groundwater in the area of eastern Croatia contains increased concentrations of organic compounds, primarily natural organic matter (NOM). Organic compounds in water become a problem in drinking water treatment, especially during water disinfection with chlorine, when harmful disinfection by...
Water bodies pollution due to stormwater runoff in highways: measures and legislative framework
General
Nowadays, it is a common ascertainment that stormwater runoff in the urban and interurban road network consist non-point source pollution which contributes to the degrading of the quality of water of ground and surface water bodies. Taking into account the fact that water pollution has impacts to...
Disinfection of secondary treated wastewater using under pressure dissolved oxygen, copper ions and hydrogen peroxide
General
Many studies have been conducted to increase the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide (HP) in wastewater disinfection to make HP disinfection more cost-effective with respect to reduced concentration and detention time. In this study, the effects of HP, copper ions (Cu2+), and 1 atm. pressure-dissolved...
The potential for transboundary cooperation towards the conservation of the avifauna in the mountain region Tzena/Kozhuf
General
When it comes to shared natural resources between two countries it is essential to mitigate differences in the management which underpin threats to the conservation of those resources by putting the way forward for coordination of the management of the area as a whole. Shared natural resources are...
Sustainable research and development of the small uninhabited islands: the case of Ionian Oinoisses
General
It is acceptable that the uninhabited islands of small size, due to their isolation from the mainland, offer remarkable habitats for the distribution and conservation of significant protected flora and fauna species. Many of these islands hosted in the past settlements, castles, etc., that now have...
