Application of thermal desorption as treatment method for soil contaminated with hazardous chemical
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Soil is constantly evolving under the influence of both environmental factors and human activities. Because of strong industrialization in the past, Romania is among those European countries that have large areas contaminated by industrial waste, containing hazardous chemicals. The paper is an overview of thermal desorption methods used for the treatment of soils contaminated with hazardous chemicals such as mercury or DDT and will emphasize the optimal conditions for conducting thermal desorption.

The aim of this study is to present the additional information on the taxonomy, biology, ecology of C. marschalliana in Romania and the population status from “Movila lui Burcel” natural reserve. We present also the nega...
Determination of host-associated variability in the shape of the mandible of white rice stem borer Scirpophaga innotata (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae
Host-plant modifications are known to promote high taxonomic diversity and ecomorphological disparity among its insect-herbivores. Studies on mouthpart morphology specifically the mandible are central to understanding th...
Impacts of agricultural land use on stream benthic macroinvertebrates in tributaries of the Mekong River, northeast Thailand.
Ecological impacts of non-intensive agricultural activities on stream community, especially in headwater streams adjacent to conserved areas, are poorly known in Thailand. We investigated the impacts of non-intensive agr...
