2. 21. Stabilization remediation of soils contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)

   Author : Mattias Sörengård; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a major global concern in pollution of drinking water sources and aquatic environments. Due to the high persistence and mobility of these compounds, remediation methods for PFAS-contaminated soils are urgently needed to protect the surrounding environment and drinking water source areas.

   Author : Lotta Sartz; Bert Allard; Ernest Yanful; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oxidized mine waste; lime mud; green liquor dregs; fly ash; lime kiln dust; steel slag; water works granules; Oxiderat gruvavfall; mesakalk; grönlut; flygaska; filterkalk; stålslagg; vattenverksgranuler; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : Mining has been and still is an important industry in Sweden, it has strongly contributed to the standard of living we have today. Extraction of ore began in the 12th century, but did not come about frequently until the 16th century, which is often seen as the starting age for ore processing and metal extraction. READ MORE

5. 23. Remediation of mercury contaminated soil and biological mercury methylation in the landscape

   Author : Jingying Xu; Stefan Bertilsson; Andrea Garcia Bravo; Dario Acha; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mercury contamination; Soil remediation; Methylmercury; Mercury methylation; hgcA; Community composition; Bacteria; Landscape; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

   Abstract : Accumulation of mercury (Hg) in soil originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources poses a major hazard to environmental and human health. Inorganic Hg(II) in soil can be transformed to highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg) mainly via methylating microorganisms. READ MORE

6. 24. An Assessment of the Potential for Bio-based Land Uses on Urban Brownfields

   Author : Shaswati Chowdhury; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban Greenspaces UGSs ; Brownfields; Gentle Remediation Options GROs ; Bio-based CE; Bio-based land use; Circular Economy CE ;

   Abstract : Circular Economy (CE) is expected to accelerate the emerging shift in resource consumption from finite to renewable, and plants are key in enabling the switch as industries would opt more and more for resources with a bio-based origin. Cities have an important role in the process not only as the main consumers of the resources but also because vegetation provides numerous tangible and intangible ecosystem services essential for the wellbeing of urban dwellers.

7. 25. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements

   Author : Charlotte Marchand; Hogland William; Hijri Mohamed; Bramryd Torleif; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Petroleum Hydrocarbon; Trace Elements; Gentle Soil Remediation Options; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon; Respirometry; Ecopile; Bacteria; Fungi; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

   Abstract : The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These pollutants are considered as the most toxic contaminants in the world due to their persistence in the environment, and the long range of toxicological effects for living beings. READ MORE
