Assessment of particulate pollution in a medium sized Greek city - the effect of biomass burning and COVID-19 lockdown
(Corresponding) Diamanti V., Triantafyllou A., Garas S.
Topic:
Air pollution
Airborne particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10μm or less has severe negative effects on human health. In many European urban environments, small residential heating appliances contribute significantly to the degradation of air quality by generating a substantial quantity of PM...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
