Copper foams in water treatment technology: Removal of hexavalent chromium
(2015)Open-cell copper foams were prepared using a space holder technique and tested as filter-beds for the uptake and reduction of Cr(VI) in drinking water. The use of raw cane sugar as a space holder provides an environmentally ... -
A critical prospective analysis of the potential toxicity of trace element regulation limits in soils worldwide: Are they protective concerning health risk assessment? - A review
(2019)Trace elements (TEs) may have toxic effects to plants and humans; thus, countries and organizations impose maximum allowable regulation limits of their concentrations in soils. Usually such limits are placed in different ... -
A critical review on arsenic removal from water using biochar-based sorbents: The significance of modification and redox reactions
(2020)Biochar is considered to be the cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and sustainable sorbent that has an extraordinary potential to efficiently remove toxic elements, including arsenic (As) from water. Until now, no ... -
Determining a Socially Fair Drinking Water Pricing Policy: The Case of Kozani, Greece
(2016)The Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC clearly indicates that all member states should develop and apply water pricing policies to recover the Full Water Cost (FWC) (including the direct cost, the environmental and ... -
Developing THMs' predictive models in two water supply systems in Greece
(2020)Disinfection is a very significant water treatment process for drinking water safety, as it inactivates pathogens from drinking water. However, disinfection-by-products (DBPs) are formed which are accused of contributing ... -
Enhancement of Antioxidant Mechanisms and Reduction of Oxidative Stress in Chickens after the Administration of Drinking Water Enriched with Polyphenolic Powder from Olive Mill Waste Waters
(2017)The aim of the study was to examine the effects of a polyphenolic powder from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) administered through drinking water, on chickens' redox status. Thus, 75 chickens were divided into three groups. ... -
Estimating the Water Resources Vulnerability Index in the Adriatic Sea Region
(2016)The Adriatic Sea countries face significant problems regarding cross-border water resources management. DRINKADRIA project aims at developing a common methodological framework, for efficient and effective cross border water ... -
Evaluation of Potable Groundwater Quality Using Environmetrics. The case of Nestos and Strymon River Regions, Northern Greece
(2021)In the present study potable water samples were regularly collected from two geographical regions in Northern Greece. The two regions are close to the Nestos and Strymon Rivers. Throughout 2015, samples from 13 sites were ... -
Groundwater nitrate contamination integrated modeling for climate and water resources scenarios: The case of Lake Karla over-exploited aquifer
(2019)Groundwater quantity and quality degradation by agricultural practices is recorded as one of the most critical issues worldwide. This is explained by the fact that groundwater is an important component of the hydrological ... -
Heavy metal adsorption using magnetic nanoparticles for water purification: A critical review
(2021)Research on contamination of groundwater and drinking water is of major importance. Due to the rapid and significant progress in the last decade in nanotechnology and its potential applications to water purification, such ... -
Identification of Suitable Locations in a Small Water Supply Network for the Placement of Water Quality Sensors Based on Different Criteria under Demand-Driven Conditions
(2022)Drinking water quality monitoring in real time is of utmost importance to ensure public health. Although water utilities, following the related legislative framework, monitor drinking water quality through samplings, the ... -
Inactivation, removal, and regrowth potential of opportunistic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in recycled water systems
(2021)With two thirds of the global population living in areas affected by water scarcity, wastewater reuse is actively being implemented or explored by many nations. There is a need to better understand the efficacy of recycled ... -
Isolation and identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria from hospitalized patients and drinking water samples—examination of their correlation by chemometrics
(2016)Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found to be widely dispersed in the environment and are being considered potentially pathogenic for humans and animals, while reports of their human to human transmission are ... -
Policy recommendation for drinking water supply cross-border networking in the Adriatic region
(2017)Cross-border water resources and drinking water supply management are among the basic concerns for almost all Adriatic Sea countries. Adopting measures such as developing common methodologies, tools and techniques addressing ... -
Rapid small-scale column tests for Cr(VI) removal by granular magnetite
(2016)This study evaluates the possibility of using magnetite as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) in a bed column setup under continuous flow conditions. For this purpose, granular magnetite was synthesized on a large scale ... -
Risk analysis framework for the optimum remediation of a contaminated aquifer under uncertainty: application in Lake Karla aquifer, Thessaly, Greece
(2022)A risk analysis framework is proposed for the optimum remediation of a contaminated aquifer under hydrogeological uncertainty. The limited information and the spatial variation of hydraulic conductivity in a real-world ... -
