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

(Corresponding) Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Kelepertzis E., Botsou F., Megremi I., Karavoltsos S., Mpouras A., Dassenakis M., Hatzaki M., Dermatas D.

Topic:

Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies

The holistic approach of the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) analytical framework in combination with Geographical Information Systems was applied to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies. For the characterization of “state”, 157 samples including field blanks were collected...Read more

Negative role of uncontrolled landfills in Georgia in environmental pollution processes

Kuchava G., Buachidze N., Chikviladze K., Shubladze E.

Topic:

Solid waste management

In the laboratories the special research were carried to determine the pollution level in the samples collected, which due to the direct impact of these types of landfill sites on the surrounding areas, are often the main polluters of environment. The pollution conditions were studied based on...Read more
