The green projects as a source of proecological transformation
Grudziński A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Green projects are unique, complex, one-time and intertwined activities that serve to preserve and protect the natural environment. The implementation of green projects may affect the greening of some enterprises. At the same time, so-called "brown" enterprises will have the chance to...Read more

ADVANCED INSTRUMENTAL ODOUR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ODOUR CONTINUOUS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL IN COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
(Corresponding) Meloni M., Zarra T., Pittoni G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour emissions from complex industrial plants can cause potential impacts on the surrounding areas and, as consequence, complaints with the local residents. The identification of specific Odour control plan is therefore needed in the plant management. The current challenge is the definition of...Read more

Regional Variability and Future Trends in Carbon Footprints of Electric Vehicles in China based on THEMIS Model
(Corresponding) Hertwich E., Wu Z., Wolfram P., (Corresponding) Wang C., Sun X., Sun F.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This study analyses how carbon footprints of electric vehicles (EVs) in China vary across regions and how they may evolve with power decarbonisation. It is understood that carbon footprints of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) depend largely on electricity mixes, but few studies have quantified...Read more

Integrated hybrid life cycle assessment, MESEIC energy scenarios, carbon footprint, electric vehicles, regional variations
Feasibility of combined anaerobic-aerobic system for textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye treatment: HRT effects and functional resilience
(Corresponding) Gadow S., Li Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An integrated continuous anaerobic–aerobic system has been employed as the treatment for synthetic textile wastewater contained C. I. Acid Red 88 dye. A laboratory scale of upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) flowed by activated treatment was operated at hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 24, 12, 6,...Read more

Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USING BOTH CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DATA
(Corresponding) Dailianis S., Charalambous N., Foiniris S., Komodromou A., Cocilovo C., Dormousoglou M., Lyberatos G., Ntaikou I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The present study evaluated the operational efficiency of a constructed wetland (CW) located at Andritsaina/Krestena municipality (Western Greece, Peloponnese, Greece), using a battery of tests and bioassays. Specifically, raw WWs entering the CW basins with broadleaf cattail Typha latifolia (raw-...Read more
Keywords:
bioassays, chemical analysis, constructed wetlands, operational efficiency.
Sustainable musselculture activity in terms of hydrodynamics. The case study of Chalastra basin (NW Gulf of Thessaloniki)
(Corresponding) Savvidis Y., Galinou-Mitsoudi S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Based on the framework strategic guidelines for marine aquacultures, the musselculture section has to be operated in Areas of Organized Aquaculture Development (AOAD). Chalastra (NW Thessaloniki’s Gulf, Thermaikos) produces the 40% of the national musselculture production using pole and longline...Read more
Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area
(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...Read more
Keywords:
Urban NO2 pollution, Traffic management scenarios, Microscale modelling, Health benefits
Reducing the environmental impact of construction wastes by their use in the preparation of construction mixtures
(Corresponding) Junak J., Sicakova A.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
At present, great emphasis is placed on protecting the environment. Civil engineering, mainly cement production, greatly pollutes the surrounding environment. Even the excavation of aggregate, which is one of the basic components of concrete, does not make any extra contribution to the...Read more
Water Availability: A factor of sustainability and adaptation of agriculture to climate change
Papadopoulou M., (Corresponding) Charchousi D.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Climate change is expected to negatively affect agriculture. The effects of climate change on agricultural production are widely studied and adaptation strategies have already been proposed and even applied and assessed in many cases. A key component on agriculture vulnerability to climate change...Read more
