FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED RADIATION CHEMISTRY RESEARCH
Oral
Background of the study
Wide varieties of toxic organic compounds are entering the aquatic
environment. The main sources of these impurities are the waste water
treatment plants for domestic sewage. The co-occurrence of sublethal
antibiotic concentration and high density of microbial population
provides ideal condition for facilitating the selection and
propagation of resistant...

MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Oral
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), especially the pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) such as antibiotics and hormones have attracted great concerns worldwide for their persistence and potential threat to ecosystem and public health. PPCPs are being increasingly detected only recently and considered as potential hazardous to ecosystem owing to the rapid development of...

MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Oral
Water availability is a major challenge facing municipalities around the world. To meet growing residential and agricultural needs, there are major water reuse programs around the world. These reuse programs span all the way from indirect potable reuse to direct potable reuse. The underlying hypothesis was that eBeam technology can breakdown the emerging contaminants of concern in water...

MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Oral
The knowlege for using electron bem irradiation for pollutants degradation is developing. Textile effluents and pharmaceuticals were the samples submitted to irradiations and to acute toxicity assays. Electron Beam Accelerator was the radiaiton source used for the treatment in batch experiments. Dafnids, rotifers and bacteria were applied for toxicity measurements. All the assays were...

MITIGATING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Oral
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) , sulphur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic pollutants (VOCs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins are still main air pollutants. They are mostly formed during fossil fuels combustion, solid waste incineration or at other industrial processes. In recent years, cargo ships are the major emission source of SO2 and NOx emission generating very high concentrations...
