“The adverse Health effects of non ionizing radiation on foetus and child: is a mythos or a scientifically evident global public health challenge”
(Corresponding) Canna Michaelidou S.
Topic:
The non ionizing radiation from wireless technology: a 21 century revolution or a global pollution and health hazard
Exposure to EMF/RF is continuous, multiple, exponentially growing, affecting entire population actively and passively. Children because of wireless-enabled devices are continuously exposed. Potential health Impacts include oxidative stress, carcinogenicity, developmental neurotoxicity, effects on...Read more

The importance of the Ecosystem Approach in management of the marine environment
(Corresponding) Tseliou F., Tselepides A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The present paper focuses on the importance of the Ecosystem Approach (EA) for the preservation and conservation of the marine environment. Marine ecosystems are complex entities that contribute significantly to the sustainable well being of people by providing a wide range of goods and services...Read more

Co-creating data based on human nose perceptions to study odour nuisance from an oilseed industry
(Corresponding) Teixeira S., Pereira P., Ferreira F.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour nuisance is the second environmental problem with more citizen complaints after noise. This fact and the lack of odour regulation in Portugal led way to develop a bottom-up approach focused on citizens to co-create the analysis. Despite the existence of odour measuring instruments, the human...Read more
A methodology for boosting circular economy in olive oil and wine sectors: opportunities for the Italian competitiveness through eco-innovation strategies
(Corresponding) Mentore V., CHEBBI A., Franzetti A., Sbaffoni S.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Applying the principles of circular economy to agriculture is a very important contemporary issue on the international political and economic agenda. In this context, current knowledge and recent insights on biosurfactant production will be surveyed to apply these novel economic approaches in the...Read more
DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUOUS, LINEAR MODELS FOR MARINE BENTHIC MACROPHYTES DESCRIPTION
(Corresponding) TZOUVARAS N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The European Water Framework Directive has fostered indicator development, pertinent to biological quality elements, for ecological status assessment of coastal waters. For seaweed communities, the CFR index considers composition, abundance and physiological status, through four constituents (...Read more

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Greece: lessons learnt from the case of the Inner Ionian Sea – Corinthian Gulf
(Corresponding) PAPAGEORGIOU M., BERIATOS E.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The marine area of the Inner Ionian Sea and the Corinthian Gulf was studied in terms of MSP in the framework of the SUPREME EU project, which was undertaken by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy, with the collaboration of NTUA, UTh and NKUA.
Key task of the project was all countries...Read more
Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more

Creating the base for MSP; depicting the environmental status of Inner Ionian-Korinthiakos Gulf
(Corresponding) PARAMANA T., KARDITSA A., MILATOU N., PETRAKIS S., MEGALOFONOU P., POULOS S., DASSENAKIS M.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) reflects the need to plan and regulate all human uses taking place in the marine environment, under the scope of protecting marine ecosystems. MSP requires the identification of the specific ecological characteristics of the marine area to be managed, as well as the...Read more
How to estimate biocide mass loads in urban water discharges and their impact on the river contamination?
(Corresponding) BRESSY A., PAIJENS C., TEDOLDI D., FRERE B., MAILLER R., ROCHER V., MOILLERON R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Biocidal substances are ubiquitous in urban areas; they are used as preservatives in daily products, building materials, and as domestic pesticides. Despite these facts, urban sources of biocides, contrary to agricultural inputs, have been overlooked in terms of environmental risk assessment. The...Read more

A topographical approach to survey environmental adaptation assessment on a mountain trail as a pathway to local prosperity
Moutsopoulos D., (Corresponding) Stergiadou A., Psilovikos T.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Mountainous trails represent unique ways into the wild nature. No matter the difficulties or the hours of reaching the end point of a mountain trail; the joy of hiking to desirable and adventurous places makes the hikers the happiest persons. The need of a topographical approach to survey...Read more
