Shotgun metagenomics assessment of the resistome, mobilome, pathogen dynamics and their ecological control modes in full-scale urban wastewater treatment plants
(2021)The conventional activated sludge (CAS) process has limited capacity to remove pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), compared to membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, the full extent of pathogenic ... -
Soil and maize contamination by trace elements and associated health risk assessment in the industrial area of Volos, Greece
(2019)Agricultural lands adjacent to industrial activities are vulnerable due to the risk of trace elements (TEs) being accumulated into crops and subsequently humans. One such case concerns the industrial area of Volos, Greece, ... -
Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements and the associated human health risk in geo- and anthropogenic contaminated soils: A case study from the temperate region (Germany) and the arid region (Egypt)
(2020)Soil contamination was very high in the studied soils (pollution load index ranged from 1.1 to 5.2), especially in the German and Egyptian Fluvisols; health risk for children was higher than for adults, and As, Al, Cr, Cu, ... -
Spray irrigation with microcystins-rich water affects plant performance from the microscopic to the functional level and food safety of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
(2021)Irrigation water coming from freshwater bodies that suffer toxic cyanobacterial blooms causes adverse effects on crop productivity and quality and raises concerns regarding food contamination and human exposure to toxins. ... -
Study on particulate matter air pollution, source origin, and human health risk based of PM10 metal content in Volos City, Greece
(2017)Investigations on the fluctuation in PM10 air pollution in Volos, a medium-sized industrialized port city in the Mediterranean, are presented for the 5-year period between 2009 and 2014. The levels detected have been ... -
Thermal environment of urban schoolyards: Current and future design with respect to children’s thermal comfort
(2020)Urban outdoor thermal conditions, and its impacts on the health and well‐being for the city inhabitants have reached increased attention among biometeorological studies during the last two decades. Children are considered ... -
Tracing the sources of bioaccessible metal(loid)s in urban environments: A multidisciplinary approach
(2021)Understanding the links between sources of magnetic particles and bioaccessibility of metal(loids) in environmental sampling media is crucial for better evaluating human health risks, although relevant information in the ... -
Using Bayesian hierarchical modelling to capture cyanobacteria dynamics in Northern European lakes
(2020)Cyanobacteria blooms in lakes and reservoirs currently threaten water security and affect the ecosystem services provided by these freshwater ecosystems, such as drinking water and recreational use. Climate change is ...
