The structure and function of communities and biological systems favorable and unfavorable to salt production in the ponds of solar saltworks are described. Favorable systems maintain a diverse biota and power the organisms at levels that enable a saltworks to economically and continuously produce...

A main problem related to coal ash disposal is the heavy metal content of the residue. In this regard, experimental results of numerous studies have indicated that toxic trace metals may leach when fly ash and bottom ash contacts with water. In this study, fly ash and bottom ash samples obtained...

Soil-contamination from toxic explosive residues at military bases throughout the world, is a major environmental concern. A strong candidate for TNT soil-contamination within Greece, is the military base/airport of Maleme in Crete. While soil sampling was in progress new routes of trace analysis...

The vertical migration velocity of radionuclides and the ability of soils components to immobilise them, as the most important parameters of natural-restoration, was studied. The Dose Equivalent Rate (DER) reduction of external ã-radiation was studied in order to assess its impact on human health...

Adsorption and removal of commercial dyes were studied in aqueous suspensions of fly ash mixtures with a sandy clay loam soil of low organic matter content. The commercial dyes, acid orange 7, acid yellow 23, disperse blue 79, basic yellow 28 and direct yellow 28 represent the widely used nitroazo...

The development of a conceptual site model (CSM) is an invaluable tool used for assessing and planning remedial actions at a contaminated site. The CSM incorporates site-specific, hydrogeologic and geochemical information to identify contaminants of concern, sources of pollution, environmental...

A multi-layered three-dimensional hydrodynamic model has been developed to provide flow fields and water level changes in Hamilton Harbour. The field data collected in Hamilton Harbour during 1990 & 1991 field seasons was used for model verification. The simulated currents were compared with current...
