ECOLIB, Library of National R&D Institute for Industrial Ecology, an on-line tool for environmental topics area

Digital Repository of National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology ECOIND, library was launched on the end of April 2017. ECOLIB Repository is structered in six communities, as follows: Ecology and Pollution Control; Environmental Assessment; Environmental Technologies; Environmental Management; Other Topics; SIMI Proceedings (International Symposium „The Environment and The Industry”: editions 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016).First four communities, representing the main research areas of ECOIND, contains articles authored by ECOIND researchers published in national and international journals, doctoral theses (abstract), conference papers, short description of the projects developed from 2006 till present, patents. The repository contains more than 800 documents, 850 author names, 1750 keywords. The research results presented within repository documents are related to development / implementation of the analytical control methods used to assess environmental pollution level (water, soil, sediments, air, waste products); ecotoxicological assessment studies for chemicals / polluted environmental samples regarding their biodegradability, acute and chronic toxicity on different aquatic organisms (fish, green algae, planktonic and benthic crustacean, rotifers, ciliates,
plants and bacteria); modern procedures applied for advanced removal of dangerous compounds from water; technologies / biotechnologies applied for water treatment, clean technologies with low energy inputs, innovative biotechnologies presenting unconventional treatment processes; evaluation of the ecological risk determined on the environment (covering water, air, and soil components); industrial waste management– development of advanced methodologies for identification and assessment of the environmental risks caused by waste disposal; methodologies in the fields of quality management, environmental management, and health and occupational safety management.
