Analysis of the Classification of Type-2 Area in the Zoning of Environmental Noise Function
Environmental Management and Policies
The zoning of environmental noise function is aimed to provide a good acoustic environment for people. With the acceleration of China’s urbanization, the zoning of environmental noise function has been widely conducted across the country, and many first-and second-tier cities have even made multiple...
Waste management in urban environments: Insights of the citizens’ views in a densely populated municipality in Greece
Solid Waste Management
Urbanization, industrialization and economic growth have considerable challenged the orientation of waste management policies and practices. Intrinsically, major concerns appear in urban environments, as they receive increased volumes of waste, which in turn pose threats for the environment and...
Hydrochemical Fluxes in Rainfall, Throughfall, and Stemflow in Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica Plantation, northeast China
Hydrology and water resources
Rainfall is one of the primary sources of chemical inputs in forest ecosystems, and the basis of forest nutrient cycling. Urban trees play an important role in the built environment, reducing the rainfall reaching the ground by rainfall interception. To explore the variations of nutrient cycling and...
Screening on the sorption of emerging contaminants to polystyrene and polyethylene and use of coagulation – flocculation process for microplastics’ removal
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
In this study, preliminary experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption potential of different organic micropollutants to polystyrene and polyethylene and to examine the removal efficiency of these microplastics during coagulation experiments with iron and manganese coagulants. For the...
Aeolian Dust Inputs in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Marine System
Marine environment and coastal management
The aim of this paper is to estimate the amount of aeolian dust, deposited by dry and wet processes, that is deposited to the eleven marine regions of the Mediterranean-Black Sea Marine System (MBMS) and to compare it to the riverine influxes (i.e. suspended and dissolved sediment loads). This...
Modeling for Mitigating Storm Water Unban Flooding and Water Quality Issues by Using Small Serial Dams: A Case Study of the City of San Angelo
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The City of San Angelo has been imposed on urban flooding and no-point source pollution and develop storm water monitoring and modeling project for managing these storm water issues. This study focuses on the stormwater peak flow reduction and water pollutant improvement by using small serial...
Endoglucanase Activity of Novel Aspergillus sydowii Isolate WIU-01 and Application for Hydrophyte Degradation
Solid Waste Management
Many eutrophic lakes contain rapidly growing hydrophytes. Overgrown biomass is usually me-chanically harvested and thrown away, leading to resource waste and secondary environmental pollution. Microbial degradation is an economically and environmentally friendly approach for managing hydrophytic...
Influence of fertilization systems to the soil inorganic compounds. Case study: monocul-tures of cereals, leguminous and oleaginous
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The main objective of this article is to observe the variation of the content of inorganic compounds in the soil (cobalt, selenium, barium) under the influence of fertilization systems applied to different monocultures of cereals (wheat, corn), leguminous (peas) and oleaginous (sunflower). High...
Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of Remazol Black under visible light illumination through S doped TiO2 (S-TiO2) nanoparticles: Operational factors and kinetic study
Water and Wastewater Treatment
The degradation of Remazol Black (RBB) by S-TiO2 photocatalyst was investigated. X-ray diffraction, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis specular reflectance spectroscopy has been used to characterize S-TiO2. The results...
Removal efficiency of antibiotics from water through constructed wetlands, a review
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Contamination in water bodies with antibiotics and resistance genes is becoming an increasing threat to global health. Overuse of antibiotics has become a serious ecological problem worldwide. There is growing concern that antibiotics are losing their effectiveness due to increased antibiotic...
