Heavy Metal Remediation: A Sustainable Approach

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
With an emphasis on bioremediation as a crucial approach to mitigate the detrimental effects of heavy metals (HMs), this study explores the causes of HM pollution, their impact on the environment and human health, and remediation techniques. In contrast to traditional physical and chemical methods, bioremediation offers a more economical, less toxic ...

Low‐Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Degradation by Consortia of Chryseobacterium Sp. and Methylorubrum Spp. Isolated From a Solid Waste Landfill

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Plastics are ubiquitous materials; however, their improper disposal and slow degradation make them environmental pollutants. This study aimed to analyze the degradation of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) by bacterial consortia isolated from a solid waste landfill.

Raman spectroscopy assisted by other analytical techniques to identify the most deteriorated carbonate‐stones to be consolidated in two monuments of Vitoria‐Gasteiz (Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 1309-1321, December 2024.
In this work, we study the conservation state of two important monuments located in Vitoria‐Gasteiz (Spain) by means Raman spectroscopy and other complementary techniques. The impact of the urban environment on the degradation and blackening of stone materials was demonstrated by the detection of sulfate, nitrate, lead and iron compounds.
