Conference Paper
Full-text available
Benzophenones (BPs) include different compounds whose molecular structure is based on diphenyl ketone (benzophenone, BP). Some benzophenones have been reported to have estrogenic activity and some compounds have been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Specific studies should be carried out about possible pollution of soils due to the us...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
A research program, financed by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, started early 2013 to investigate the occurrence and fate of selected emerging contaminants in soil, water, sediments and food in Italy, in order to assess health risks and to develop control measures. Bisphenol A (BPA) and Nonylphenol (NP) are both emerging...
Article
Abstract Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is used at significant percentages as an additive of unleaded gasoline. The physical–chemical properties of the substance (water solubility, soil organic carbon–water partition coefficient) cause high mobility and high concentrations in groundwater. Laboratory scale batch and column tests and mathematical mod...
Chapter
This paper presents a methodology (SER-APHIM) developed to prioritize efforts into investigation and/or remedial actions at contaminated sites at regional scale (Lombardy Region – Italy). The approach is a two-tiered procedure based on the “source-pathway–receptor” paradigm. Tier 1 (SER – Short Environmental Radar) is a screening tool that runs wit...
Article
Full-text available
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are not commonly monitored in the environment, but they can enter the environment from a variety of sources. The most worrying consequence of their wide use and environmental diffusion is the increase in the possible exposure pathways for humans. Moreover, knowledge of their behavior in the environment, toxic...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Italy consists of about 8000 km of coastlines, which are densely populated and have a strategic role for the Italian economy due to the intense touristic, industrial and harbour activities carried out. The marine areas facing the coasts are often heavily polluted in the sediment compartment. Many Sites of National Concern (SNCs) include sea areas,...
Article
This paper reports about the lab scale results obtained by using stabilized bottom ash (SBA) from an Italian municipal solid waste incinerator as aggregates in cement-bound mixes and asphalt concretes for road pavements. The investigation focused on SBA content. From the road construction point of view, performance related to compaction, volumetric...
Article
Full-text available
Biobarriers (BBs) are a new type of in situ technology for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. In recent years, this remediation technique has been more and more used in place of traditional Pump & Treat systems or other in situ technologies both in the USA and Europe. This work reviews the main experiences of BBs. The literature contains...
Article
Full-text available
Biobarriers (BBs) are a new type of in situ technology for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. In this work results of laboratory experiments on a BB system are discussed. First, a proper filling material for BB applications was selected among four possible granular materials (perlite, pumice, expanded clay, activated carbon), based on the...
Article
A number of different approaches can be used when managing contaminated sediments depending on site-specific conditions, sediment characteristics, mix of contaminants in the sediment and local regulations. Ex situ management options can include landfill disposal or, more generally, the application of remediation treatments for beneficial reuse, whi...
Article
PurposeMillions of cubic meters of sediments are dredged every year in the world. About 10–20% on weight basis of this material is contaminated by organic and/or inorganic pollutants. This work presents the laboratory tests performed to study a system for the remediation and reuse of mercury-contaminated sediments. The treatment is based on a cemen...
Article
This paper presents preliminary results of laboratory tests aimed at evaluating the easibility of the remediation of marine sediments, which are polluted by mercury and petroleum hydrocarbons, dredged at the bay of Augusta (SR, Italy). The treatment is composed of two sequential steps: in the first, a cement-based granular material is produced (bas...
