Effects of substrate stress and light intensity on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a photo-activated sludge system
Mohamed, A.Y.A.; Welles, L.; Siggins, A.; Healy, Mark G.; Brdjanovic, D.; Rada-Ariza, A.M.; Lopez-Vazquez, C.M. (Elsevier, 2020-11-06)Photo-activated sludge (PAS) systems are an emerging wastewater treatment technology where microalgae provide oxygen to bacteria without the need for external aeration. There is limited knowledge on the optimal conditions ... -
Effects of wastewater pre-treatment on clogging of an intermittent sand filter
Mohamed, A.Y.A.; Tuohy, P.; Healy, Mark G.; Ó hUallacháin, D.; Fenton, O.; Siggins, A. (Elsevier, 2023-03-11)Intermittent sand filters (ISFs) are widely used in rural areas to treat domestic and dilute agricultural wastewater due to their simplicity, efficacy and relative low cost. However, filter clogging reduces their operational ... -
Impact of historical legacy pesticides on achieving legislative goals in Europe
McGinley, J.; Healy, Mark G.; Ryan, P. C.; O'Driscoll, Harmon; Mellander, P. E.; Morrison, L.; Siggins, A. (Elsevier, 2023-02-26)Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to optimise food production. However, the movement of pesticides into water bodies negatively impacts aquatic environments. The European Union (EU) aims to make food systems fair, ... -
A novel hybrid coagulation-constructed wetland system for the treatment of dairy wastewater
Mohamed, A.Y.A.; Siggins, A.; Healy, Mark G.; Ó hUallacháin, D.; Fenton, O.; Tuohy, P. (Elsevier, 2022-07-29)Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a cost-effective and sustainable treatment technology that may be used on farms to treat dairy wastewater (DWW). However, CWs require a large area for optimal treatment and have poor long-term ... -
A novel hybrid coagulation-intermittent sand filter for the treatment of dairy wastewater
Mohamed, A. Y. A.; Siggins, A.; Healy, Mark G.; Fenton, O.; Ó hUallacháin, D.; Tuohy, P. (Elsevier, 2022-08-06)An intermittent sand filter (ISF) is a simple and cost-effective treatment method that may be adopted on farms to treat dairy wastewater (DWW). However, the use of ISFs has been limited due to the large area required for ... -
A risk ranking of pesticides in Irish drinking water considering chronic health effects.
Harmon O Driscoll, J.; Siggins, A.; Healy, Mark G.; McGinley, J.; Mellander, P. E.; Morrison, L.; Ryan, P.C. (Elsevier, 2022-03-17)This paper presents a novel scoring system which facilitates a relative ranking of pesticide risk to human health arising from contaminated drinking water. This method was developed to identify risky pesticides to better ...
