  2. 21. Remediation of PFAS-contaminated soil and wastewater : Feasibility of chain treatment applying destructive techniques

    Author : Jean Noel Uwayezu; Ivan Carabante; Jurate Kumpiene; Anett Georgi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Avfallsteknik; Waste Science and Technology;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals ubiquitously distributed in soil and aquatic media, resulting from their wide range of industrial applications. Today, PFAS is a global concern due to their persistence in the environment and their adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. READ MORE

  4. 22. Opportunity Windows and Added Value of Gentle Remediation Options for Contaminated Land Management

    Author : Paul Drenning; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable and Risk-Based Land Management SRBLM ; Ecosystem services; Soil health; Phytomanagement; Soil functions; Cost-benefit analysis; Gentle remediation options GRO ;

    Abstract : Well-functioning, healthy soils are increasingly recognized as vital to human well-being, but soil contamination impairs the capacity of soils to perform their essential functions and provide humans with ecosystem services (ES). Contaminated land poses risks to human health and the environment, which must be managed, but also constitute an important and underutilized land and soil resource for providing ES in urban areas through phytomanagement with gentle remediation options (GRO) – nature-based solutions using plants, fungi, bacteria, and soil amendments to manage risks at contaminated sites while also improving soil functionality.

  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. 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

  7. 25. Appropriate Technologies for Soil Remediation in Low Prioritized Region : Developing Countries and Sparsely Populated Regions

    Author : Henrik Haller; Anders Jonsson; Morgan Fröling; Jaak Truu; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil pollution; Bioremediation; Ecotechnology; Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development; Ecological Engineering; Industrial Ecology Developing Countries; Sparsely Populated Regions; Nicaragua;

    Abstract : Contaminated sites in low prioritized regions demand remediation technologies that are cost- and energy-effective and locally adapted. Parameters such as the time frame during which bioremediation degradation needs to occur may not be as restraining as in urban environments. READ MORE
