Classic (polybromodiphenyl ethers, PBDEs) and emerging halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) such as decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) norbornenes, well organophosphate (OPFRs) were analysed in 52 sediments 27 fish samples from three European river basins, namely the Evrotas (Greece), Adige (Italy) Sava (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina Serbia). This is first time that FR levels have been reported these basins. The highest contamination was found rivers, whereas lower values obtained for...
Water scarcity is a serious environmental problem in many European regions, and will likely increase the near future as consequence of increased abstraction climate change. exacerbates effects multiple stressors, thus results decreased water quality. It impacts river ecosystems, threatens services they provide, it force managers policy-makers to change their current practices. The EU-FP7 project GLOBAQUA aims at identifying prevalence, interaction linkages between assess on chemical...
The role and impact of chromium (Cr) on the environment living organisms depends primarily its chemical form. High toxicity hexavalent Cr is well documented, while trivalent an essential micronutrient. In last decades numerous analytical procedures have been developed for determination Cr(VI) in different sample matrices. To obtain reliable speciation data it important to preserve species integrity during storage, pre-treatment, extraction species. Among methods combination high performance...
Remediation of contaminated soil can be performed by using various techniques, which must adequately tailored for each specific case. The aim this research is to critically evaluate the potential use red mud and paper ash a combination two as immobilization additives remediation from one most polluted sites in Slovenia. proposed procedure involves preparation geotechnical composites made mixed with 25 wt% an optimal quantity water achieve consistency, at maximum compaction according Proctor...

Nanoremediation procedures are usually designed so that only one contaminant or similar class of contaminants is being considered. In the present work, a holistic approach was applied towards processes which simultaneously occur after treatment real effluent water from small biological wastewater plant (SBWTP) with different nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles. Three types nZVI particles were tested: in-house nZVI, commercially available Nanofer STAR and Nanofer25 slurry, differ in...
River ecosystems are exposed to various stressors. Among them, elements may contribute overall pollution of riverine environments, in particular during the extreme flow events. To evaluate influence variable river conditions on mobilization potentially toxic (PTE) (Cr, Ni, Cd, Zn, Pb, As and Cu) from sediments into overlaying waters Sava River, samples were collected September 2014, extremely high water discharges 2015, under low discharge conditions. In total element concentrations...
During a sampling campaign in September 2015, elevated chromium (Cr) concentrations were observed sediments of industrially exposed sites the Sava River (stainless steel production and impact metallurgic industry). To verify if also contained hazardous hexavalent Cr (Cr(VI)), there was need to develop sensitive reliable analytical procedure for its determination. In determination Cr(VI) environmental samples, it is necessary evaluate suitability applied methodology each individual sample...
River ecosystems are under pressure from several different stressors. Among these, inorganic pollutants contribute to multiple stressor situations and the overall degradation of ecological status aquatic environments. The main sources pollution include industrial activities, untreated effluents municipal waste waters intensive agriculture. In present study, water, suspended particulate matter (SPM) sediments Sava were studied in order assess this river system. Sampling was performed during...
Abstract We investigated microbial growth in increasing concentrations of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and its reduction by a community enriched from tannery effluent the bacterial strains isolated community. The was monitored measuring optical cell density (OD 650 ), while Cr(VI) concentration samples determined using spectrophotometry liquid chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC–ICP–MS). At 100 mg/L, isolates affiliated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a detrimental urban air pollutant primarily emitted by traffic and biomass burning, poses disproportionately significant health risks at relatively limited exposure during commuting. Previous studies have mainly focused on fixed locations when assessing PM2.5 exposure, while neglecting pedestrians cyclists, who often experience higher pollution levels. In response, this research aimed to independently validate the effectiveness of bicycle-mounted low-cost...
