Changes in climate, land use, and management impact the occurrence severity of wildland fires many parts world. This is particularly evident Europe, where ongoing changes use have strongly modified fire patterns over last decades. Although satellite data by European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale statistics across countries, there still a crucial need to collect summarize in-depth local analysis understanding condition associated challenges Europe. article aims general...
Abstract The Kåfjord area in northern Norway hosts numerous Cu deposits that were subjected to mining activities back the nineteenth century. Relicts of historical activity are still visible at several abandoned mines and associated mine waste disposal sites may represent an environmental threat. was during century a significant mineralization, found within Paleoproterozoic Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window, primarily occurs as epigenetic sulfide-quartz-carbonate hydrothermal veins crosscut...
Jarosite waste, originating from zinc extraction industry, is considered hazardous due to the presence and mobility of toxic metals that it contains.Its worldwide disposal in many tailing damps has become a major ecological concern.Three different methods, namely modified Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP), three-stage BCR sequential procedure Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI) Method were used access risk jarosite waste Mitrovica Industrial Park, Kosovo.The combination...
The formation of tufa barriers is driven by specific physicochemical and biological factors which make them very sensitive to environmental changes. provide great microhabitat complexity are therefore inhabited various periphytic organisms, whose metabolic activity alters the microenvironment, directly or indirectly affecting conditions calcite precipitation. After invasive plant species Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swinge was identified as one main causing current dryness streams at...
Abstract Exposure of soil constituents to elevated temperatures during wildfire can significantly affect their properties and consequently, increase the mobility bound contaminants. To estimate potential wildfires influence metal remobilization from burned due changes in cation exchange capacity (CEC) after organic matter combustion mineral alteration degradation, exposure different was investigated. This accomplished through analysis geochemical, mineralogical surface physicochemical a...
The aim of this study was to determine whether a combustion process (open burning) on an unsanitary landfill produces polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs), for which several media were analysed (smoked air, soil, lake sediment).The concentration PCDD/Fs detected in the air increased over 4000 times during fire, from 0.480 fg m -3 1940.4 or expressed as Toxic Equivalency (TEQ) 0.004 TEQ 25.72 .Increased values also determined soil site (2597.6ng kg -1 , 48.11 ng...
The coasts of the world's oceans and seas accumulate various types floating debris, commonly known as beach wracks, including organic seaweeds, seagrass, ubiquitous anthropogenic waste, mainly plastic. Beach wrack microbiome (MB), surviving in form a biofilm, ensures decomposition remineralization but can also serve vector potential pathogens environment. Through interdisciplinary approach comprehensive sampling design that includes geological analysis sediment, plastic debris composition...
The former manganese ferroalloy plant and the remaining tailings are affecting quality of environment in Šibenik Bay, Croatia, even though industrial activities ceased more than 25 years ago. This study has revealed that main mineral phases present recently collected tailings, as well dust on roof during production period, bustamite Mn-oxides. same type Mn was also found sediments from Bay. Detailed chemical phase analyses (XRD, BCR sequential analysis, aqua regia lithium borate fusion)...

Coastal water quality management is a public health concern, as poor coastal can harbor pathogens that are dangerous to human health. Tourism-oriented countries need actively monitor the condition of at tourist popular sites during summer season. In this study, routine monitoring data $Escherichia\ Coli$ and enterococci across 15 beaches in city Rijeka, Croatia, were used build machine learning models for predicting their levels based on environmental parameters well investigate...
