Disinfection byproducts and related compounds in the coastal zone: a preliminary compilation
Alexandropoulou S., (Corresponding) Nikolaou A., Vagi M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are formed whenever disinfectant ingredients contact organic matter. Due to widespread increase in production and use of disinfectants and antiseptics, the presence of their ingredients in coastal environments is increasing. However, very limited scientific literature...Read more

Integrating Urban Heat Island Mitigation into Green Building Rating Systems
(Corresponding) Almashhour R., Kolo J., Beheiry S.
Topic:
Climate change adaptation
Amidst the climate crisis, cities remain the foremost cause and victims of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. UHI is the higher temperature observed in a city compared to nearby rural environments. The built environment, in particular buildings, are known to be highly responsible for heating up or...Read more

Vulnerability of Informal Settlements to Flood Disasters: A Review of Public Health Implication
(Corresponding) OLANREWAJU C., REDDY M.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
Floods are the most frequent disasters in the world with devastating effects on millions of people and the natural environment. The health status of any community is directly affected by the quality of their housing and the environmental risks they are exposed to. Rapid urbanization and the...Read more
AKANoah Student Team experience: microplastics analysis technics on the Po River environment
Conteduca F., Francardo C., Paradiso G., (Corresponding) Turdo R., Balestra V., Bellopede R., Comino E.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
AKANoah PoliTo is a student team from Politecnico di Torino which aims to design an environmental monitoring strategy for the urban river ecosystem and a plastic waste collection system.
Data gathering and analysis are key for monitoring, mitigating, and preventing pollution of such a pivotal...Read more
Capability of high resolution satellite images to characterize urban surfaces: spectra comparison and correlation with in field/lab measurements
(Corresponding) Despini F., Costanzini S., Parmeggiani D., Ferrari C., Teggi S., Muscio A., Silvestri M., Rabuffi F., (Corresponding) Musacchio M.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Environmental remote sensing is an increasingly useful tool for the study of large areas thanks to new sensors with high spatial resolution. These sensors could be able to identify and analyse several urban surfaces, like roofs and pavements. Thus they could be used to study urban areas for several...Read more
Degradation assessment of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) debris after long exposure to marine conditions
(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Efthimiadou E., Filippides A., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more
Spatial and temporal variability of Cadmium and Lead in Urban Soils of Thessaloniki (northern Greece).
(Corresponding) GOLIA E., KOROPOULI A., Papadimou S., KANTZOU O., ANDROUDI M., XAGORARIS C.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
In this study, an investigation was carried out to record, document and monitoring the pollution caused by heavy metals in soil surface soils in the urban fabric of the city of Thessaloniki. During the years 2021 & 2022, surface soil samples were collected in the spring and autumn of each year...Read more

Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
