Aerobic granular sludge-based reactors represent an attractive alternative to conventional activated sludge systems due to their small footprint and their low energy consumption and excess sludge production. The granules developed in such systems have high ...
The major pathways of human pharmaceuticals into the environment are from their use by individuals either at home or under medical supervision in hospitals, and to a lesser extent by the disposal of unwanted or out of date drugs. The administered pharmaceu ...
This study compares six wastewater sludge treatment scenarios applied to a 300,000 equivalent-inhabitant (eq. inh) wastewater treatment plant: agricultural spreading, fluidised bed incineration, wet oxidation, pyrolysis, incineration in cement kilns and la ...
The present study focuses on the economic, political/institutional, technological, cultural, demographic and environmental drivers of land use change. It aims to understand the factors influencing land use decisions at the household level, in particular th ...
Adverse effects on the environment have become a matter of increasing concern considering the increase of industrialization and of the amount of commercialized chemicals. At present, approximately 100'000 substances are on the market, 3000 are sold at high ...
Aerobic granular sludge-based reactors represent an attractive alternative to conventional activated sludge systems. Compared to activated sludge, the use of aerobic granular sludge reactors is advantageous because (i) considerably less area is required fo ...
The development of methodologies to assess the effects of pesticides in a consistent way and to enable comparison with the impacts from other agricultural practices is urgently needed. This paper describes a life cycle assessment method to determine the im ...
To reduce the release of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors into the aquatic environment or to remove them from wastewater intended for direct or indirect reuse, the application of advanced wastewater treatment may be required. In the present study, ...
Stabilization ponds and water lettuce-based systems in West and Central Africa - State of the art, removal performances and design criteria Despite several projects undertaken so far, sanitation remains a huge challenge in West and Central Africa. Big citi ...
To adequately manage the fragile and changing environments of semiarid regions it is essential to disentangle human from climate or other environmental impacts over longer timescales than human memory. We investigated sediment cores from Salada Chiprana, a ...
