The impact of mining activities in the quality of coastal sea waters© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The quality of coastal sea waters downstream of a major mixed sulphide mining and milling industrial facility located in North-Aegean Sea of Greece was examined. The factors influencing the quality of coastal waters are the natural mineralization, the remains of past mining activities, the washout phenomena following precipitation events and the discharge of the treated mine waters.
Assessment of wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region, Greece© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The objective of the present study was to assess wastewater effluent quality in Thessaly region, Greece in order to determine whether this kind of water could be used as an alternative water resource for beneficial uses. Such uses may include agricultural as well as landscape irrigation.
Groundwater quality and sampling location comparison of assessments in Thessaly region and the application of the Multivariate Statistical Interpretation in Magnesia, Greece© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
This study is a review and analysis study of previous research studies. Firstly, according to the involvement of human activities was located the quality and it was assessed the revalorization of groundwater in Thessaly. Secondly the distribution patterns of some physical parameters (electric conductivity, pH and total hardness) and major ions (nitrate, nitrite, chloride, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphate and sulphate) of groundwater, commonly assayed in chemistry laboratories, in the Prefecture of Magnesia (Thessaly-central Greece) is reported.
An analytical method for determination of haloacetamides in chlorinated water© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
Chlorination by-products (CBPs) are produced after chlorine reaction with organic matter that is naturally present in water. Haloacetamides are CBPs that contain nitrogen, an element that is present in precursors known as humic acids. Haloacetamides are among the less studied world wide CBPs and the most polar organic compounds.
Evaluation of the trophic state of Ziros lake, NW Greece© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
Lake eutrophication has been a major problem for decades. It involves a change in lake status from a macrophyte-dominated clear water state to a phytoplankton-dominated turbid state, with detrimental effects to the ecosystem. The eutrophication process in lakes can be evaluated by determining the limiting nutrients and by calculating trophic state indices.
