Evaluation of water quality of Kosynthos river in North Greece, using Water Quality Indices
(Corresponding) Gikas G., Lergios D., Psomakelis E., Petalas C.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
The water quality of Kosynthos river, located in Xanthi Prefecture, Northern Greece, was evaluated using Water Quality Indices (WQIs). A water quantity and quality monitoring program was undertaken from December 2016 to November 2017 on a weekly basis at four stations along the main course of...Read more

Assessment of water quality of Asopos River in central Greece using multivariate analysis
Tsadilas C., Tzouvalekas M., (Corresponding) Evangelou E., Papadopoulos S., Papadoulis A., Petsoulas C., Tsitouras A., Grypari P., Smyrnis T.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
The main objective of this study was to assess the quality of water from five monitoring stations in Asopos River (central Greece), and evaluate the main factors that affect the river water quality. Fifty one biochemical parameters measured both in situ and in the laboratory three times a year for...Read more

A DPSIR approach to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies within Attica and Eastern Sterea Ellada River Basin Districts
(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
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

Mitigating the Environmental Impact of Construction Projects through Effective Pollution Management Strategies
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Almacha A., Tana K.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
Construction initiatives can substantially contribute to air, water, and soil pollution, as well as soil degradation. These activities can have long-lasting negative effects on local communities and ecosystems. It is imperative to develop and implement effective construction pollution management...Read more

UrbEm: a method and tool to refine regional emission inventories for urban atmospheric studies
(Corresponding) Kakouri A., Ramacher M., Kuenen J., Speyer O., Gerasopoulos E., Athanasopoulou E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
As cities are growing in size and complexity, the estimation of air pollution exposure requires detailed spatial representation of air pollution levels. Intra-urban atmospheric studies require up-to-date and credible emission inventories. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides...Read more

Anthropogenic metal pollution in Saronikos gulf: historical evolution and risk assessment based on selected sediment cores
Panagopoulou G., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Yfanti A., Anagnostou E., Vrettou E., Filippi G., Botsou F., Xarlis P., Andreopoulos N., Moratis D., Stergiou N., Chatziathanasiou C., Damianou R., Dalianis A., Tsiparis I., Dassenakis M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Anthropogenic metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) are chemical elements known for toxic effects when present in elevated concentrations. There are various sources of these metals to marine sediments. The presence and levels of anthropogenic metals in sediments may cause adverse implications to ecosystem...Read more
