Conversion of Pruning Waste into Biochar-based Organomineral Fertilizer to Improve Maize Yield and Phosphorus Use Efficiency

by Ahmad S. Ali A. Ahmed W. Ali M. Athar M. Ismail A. Alhajhoj M. Alturki S. Darrag H. Al-Khayri J.

Issue 3

Solid Waste Management

Open burning and dumping of pruning waste into landfills is detrimental for environmental quality. This study was planned to convert pruning waste into biochar-based organomineral phosphatic fertilizer (BOMPF). A BOMPF with 20% P2O5 was prepared by enrichment of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in biochar...

Assessment of food quality and antibiotic residue toxicity in Florida red tilapia Oreochromis sp exposed to erythromycin

by Boucetta S. Honcharova O. Kharfouchi S. Chala A. Aouati K. Can E.

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Erythromycin (ERY) is widely used as an antibiotic, leading to its pervasive presence in the environment and potential risks to non-target species. This study investigated the under sub-lethal effects of ERY on Florida red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) by examining changes in their hematological and...

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in urban wastewater: An entropy-based multi-objective optimization approach for optimal selection of sampling points

by Gkatzioura A. Zafeirakou A.

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Monitoring wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 proved to be a useful tool during COVID-19 pandemic and it is in place, until today, at many Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Greece and elsewhere. Identification of virus in wastewater can be a valuable indicator for the early detection of...
