Enhanced commercial and 3D-printed bio-carriers improve wastewater treatment performance: A critical mini-review
(Corresponding) BANTI D., SAMARAS P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An advanced wastewater treatment technology, simple, uniform, reliable and stable in its operation, which at the same time is highly competitive from the economic and environmental point of view, is Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) performed with the contribution of bio-carriers. This review...Read more

Flood modelling using a combined 1D/2D model: the case of the 2017 flash flood in Mandra, Greece
(Corresponding) Mitsopoulos G., Bloutsos A., Diakakis M., Panagiotatou E., Lekkas E., Baltas E., Stamou A.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The design of an efficient Early Warning System for floods in a specific region requires the knowledge of the hydrodynamic behavior of floods that affects flood arrival times and thus the available warning times. In the present work, we attempt to answer the following research question “Is a...Read more
ANALYTICAL DEVELOPMENTS FOR PVC RADIOOXIDATION STUDY, IN SIMULATED DISPOSAL CONDITIONS
(Corresponding) Chantreux M., Rossignol S., Ricard D., Bussière P., Therias S., Gardette J., Wong-Wah-Chung P.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Radioactive waste is generated by the use of radioactive materials in industry, research and medicine, as well as in nuclear power plant. The management and disposal of such waste is, therefore, a very important issue. In France, the estimated volume for the low intermediate-level long-lived...Read more
Spyridonidis A., Vasiliadou I., (Corresponding) Stamatelatou K.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The biological upgrade of biogas to biomethane (CH4 > 90%) is a popular emerging technology, since the produced CO2 is not removed but is converted to biomethane using hydrogen (H2). The initial aim of the present study is the acclimatization of a microbial population derived from a typical...Read more
CIRC4FooD: An urban food production system inspired by the circular economy
(Corresponding) Tsatsou A., Ioannides C., Noutsopoulos C., Tsimiklis G., Chrisomallos G., Tsiropoulos Z., Mamais D., Malamis S.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The environmental footprint of the current, linear food system is a key challenge that must be faced for a global transition to sustainability. Agricultural practices are drivers of polluting food production, while cities form critical hubs of wasteful food consumption. In this context, urban...Read more

Determination of atmospheric amines in boreal forest using unmanned aerial drone with an integrated miniaturized air sampling system
Pusfitasari E., Ruiz-Jimenez J., Heiskanen I., Jussila M., Hartonen K., (Corresponding) Riekkola M.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
Amines are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and their presence is considered important especially due to their hazard to human health and their contribution to new particle formation that can affect climate change. In this study, tailor-made mesoporous functionalized silica sorbents were used in in-...Read more
Integrating Ecosystem Services (E.S.) in spatial planning: a literature review
Pozoukidou G., Papageorgiou M., (Corresponding) Kesisoglou D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Integration of ES in spatial planning constitutes a critical issue in the context of establishing resilient and sustainable policies. In this paper, a literature review was performed, to evaluate the integration of ES in spatial planning practices through institutional and governmental planning...Read more
Citizens’ perceptions towards urban solid waste management system: Case Study of the Municipality of Kozani
(Corresponding) Adamidis T., Latinopoulos D.
Topic:
Waste strategies development
The aim of this study is to investigate, through a survey the perceptions and attitudes of citizens about urban solid waste management system in the Municipality of Kozani.
The objective of this survey is to obtain information related to: the actual behavior of citizens, the determining factors...Read more
A New Method for Emission Control System Malfunction Detection During the Periodic Technical Inspection
(Corresponding) Rešetar M., Pejić G., Ilinčić P., Lulić Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The paper shows a new method for detecting emission control system malfunction during periodic technical inspection (PTI). The on-board diagnostic (OBD) test results were collected and processed during the PTI of vehicles in Croatia in 2020. The study included petrol and diesel passenger cars that...Read more
A versatile decision-support tool to assess air quality and health effects
(Corresponding) Relvas H., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Rafael S., Almeida S., Diapouli E., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This work presents a web-based policy tool for the development of effective particulate matter (PM) pollution strategies. The tool is based on an integrated modelling approach, from emissions to health effects, which allows testing measures to improve air quality, focused on PM2.5 levels, and...Read more
