A versatile decision-support tool to assess air quality and health effects
(Corresponding) Relvas H., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Rafael S., Almeida S., Diapouli E., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This work presents a web-based policy tool for the development of effective particulate matter (PM) pollution strategies. The tool is based on an integrated modelling approach, from emissions to health effects, which allows testing measures to improve air quality, focused on PM2.5 levels, and...Read more
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

Technology hybridization for real time particulate matter monitoring
(Corresponding) Louat J., Thaury C., Ben Daoud A., Serge A.
Topic:
Air pollution
While the monitoring and management of air pollution remains a challenge at a regional level, it also becomes more and more sensitive at very local scale. Both, as hot spot sources, can be very localized, but vulnerable population (in schools, hospital…) due to fluidic effect, especially in cities...Read more

Seasonal fluctuations of PM2.5 concentrations at six Greek islands
(Corresponding) Fameli K., Kotrikla A., Polydoropoulou A., Mihalopoulos N., Grivas G., Stavroulas I.
Topic:
Air pollution
PM2.5 concentrations in urban areas vary significantly spatially and seasonally. Measurements can be affected by multiply parameters such as anthropogenic activities, meteorological conditions as well as land use. In the present study one-year PM2.5 measurements from the network of low-cost sensors...Read more
