Evaluation of atmospheric pollutants dispersion using CFD numerical models
Fernández Pacheco V., (Corresponding) Antuña Yudego E., Suárez López M., Carús Candás J., Álvarez Álvarez E.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper describes the approach of studying air pollution by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. It also includes a report of a series of investigations performed in order to illustrate the potential of such models with the aim to give a solution to the dispersion to resolve the...Read more

Sonolytic and hybrid-sonolytic degradation of 6-hydroxy-methyl uracil, a model compound for the study of cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin.
Voumvouraki M., Synefakis E., Christophoridis C., (Corresponding) Bizani E., Hiskia A., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The occurence of cyanotoxins, produced from cyanobacterial blooms, in the aquatic environment, has been a topic of great importance for scientists and authorities, over the last years. Cyanotoxins can greatly affect humans and fauna [1], therefore, their inclusion in monitoring programmes and in...Read more
EXTRACTION AND DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS ADSORBED INTO MICROPLASTICS
Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more
Morphological analysis approach to detect microfiber contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Corresponding) Volgare M., Santonicola S., Gentile G., Errico M., Castaldo R., Avolio R., Raimo G., Gaspari M., Colavita G., Mercogliano R., Cocca M.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastic pollution is a widespread threat for marine fauna. Mussels are good candidates for assessment of microplastic exposure in the environment because of their wide geographical and spatial distribution and their filtration system. In this work the 65% of analysed mussels assessed the...Read more
Training Opportunities for Estonian Elite Athletes in the COVID-19 situation
Parm Ü., Tomingas T., (Corresponding) Tamm A.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
COVID-19 pandemic influences different aspects of society, especially sports. The aim of research was to assess the changes in training conditions and aspects of training of Estonian elite athletes in the COVID-19 situation and get feedback of athletes` assessment about pandemic impact of the on...Read more
Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis using Micropollutant Measurements on the Most Polluted Tributary of Ergene River: Çorlu Stream
(Corresponding) Cingiroglu F., Emadian S., Tezel U., Kaynak B.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
This study focuses on investigation the spatial distribution of pollutants in Çorlu Stream is the highest industrialized tributary of Ergene River which is one of the most polluted rivers in Turkey. A total of 250 conventional, metal and micropollutants were scanned at eleven sampling locations for...Read more

TROPOMI NO2 and SO2 Temporal Changes over Large Point Sources and Their Relationship with Electricity Production
Cingiroglu F., Deger S., Ceker A., Akyuz E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
This study focuses on the spatial distribution and temporal changes of NO2 and SO2 pollution over large point sources using high-resolution TROPOMI retrievals, and aims to find a correlation between the retrievals and electricity production. SO2 retrievals showed highest signals over power plants,...Read more
Keywords:
TROPOMI, power plants, NO2, SO2, temporal distribution
Considering LSI in MSP in Greece: updates and challenges
(Corresponding) Papageorgiou M., Kyvelou S.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The LSI analysis should be understood as an important component in the preparation of MSPlans to be reached through consistency of policies and decision-making. In Greece, although LSI as a term is fully incorporated in MSP legislation, its consideration may be easily and completely disregarded,...Read more
Cometabolic biotransformation of organic micropollutants under aerobic heterotrophic conditions
(Corresponding) Kennes-Veiga D., Vogler B., Fenner K., Carballa M., Lema J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The role that heterotrophs present in activated sludge play in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has not been clearly elucidated despite their increasing relevance in the conception of novel wastewater treatment plant technologies. OMPs are often present in wastewaters at concentrations...Read more
A Water-Based Approach for Addressing RES Integration Challenges in Insular Energy Systems
(Corresponding) Tzanes G., Makropoulos C., Zafirakis D., Kaldellis J., Stamou A.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
High shares of RES-based power capacity in island electricity grids often imply significant energy curtailments of non-dispatchable power generation, which in turn limits islands’ capacity to leverage RES environmental and economic benefits. The presence of energy storage systems and/or grid...Read more
