Necessity of Full Implementation of Type Approval for Non Road Mobile Machinery in the Republic of Croatia
(Corresponding) Lulic Z., Sraga V., Šagi G., Ilincic P.
Topic:
Air pollution
Along with continuous progress in the reduction of emissions from road vehicles, the Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) becomes a more and more important source of emissions.
Namely, although the EU Regulation 2016/1628 for NRMM introduces the latest limit emission values known as Stage V, their...Read more

The limitation of the methane (CH4) emission in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin as a result of the Polish Mining Group closing program.
Dreger M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Hard coal mining is responsible for 9% of the worldwide methane emission to the atmosphere. Methane is the second strongest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, but its radiative power is 25-30 times stronger than the radiative power of CO2 .In the Polish reality, hard coal mining is one of the...Read more

Development of an emission inventory for commercial cooking in Attica
(Corresponding) Fameli K., Kladakis A., Assimakopoulos V.
Topic:
Air pollution
The aim of this research was to estimate the pollutants that are emitted from the fuels used by the dominated types of commercial restaurants, due to their cooking demands. The study was carried out for the region of Attica; however, the methodology can be applied in many urban areas. For the...Read more
CO abatement via Ir-based catalysts: effect of the support and preparation method on catalytic activity and stability
Drosou C., Fountouli T., Stratakis A., Charisiou N., Goula M., (Corresponding) Yentekakis I.
Topic:
Air pollution
Here we report on the effect of the support and preparation method on the activity and stability of Ir-based catalysts under CO oxidation. Alunina-ceria-zirconia (ACZ: 60wt%Al2O3 - 40wt%CexZr1-xO2, x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75) mixed oxide supports with high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) were synthesized via...Read more
Performance Evaluation of a Portable and Cost-effective Atmospheric Particulate Matter Monitor
(Corresponding) Bezantakos S., Papaconstantinou R., Hadjigeorgiou N., Marinos C., Biskos G.
Topic:
Air pollution
Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors offer high potentials in air quality monitoring. Their performance, however, strongly depends upon the materials used, their design and on the sampling and operational conditions. In this work we evaluate the performance of the latest Alphasense PM sensors...Read more

Investigation of BVOC levels in a coastal urban environment: The Piraeus Port in Greece
(Corresponding) Liakakou E., Panopoulou A., Grivas G., Gerasopoulos E., Sauvage S., Mihalopoulos N.
Topic:
Air pollution
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) constitute organic species of high reactivity, influencing thus the composition of the atmosphere through participation in various reactions leading to the formation of secondary pollutants. Despite their well established origin from vegetation, focus is...Read more
Non-Road Mobile Machinery Emission Inventory in forestry – first results for Croatia
Lončarević Š., Ilinčić P., Šagi G., (Corresponding) Lulić Z.
Topic:
Air pollution
Most countries do not have an emission inventory for non-road mobile machinery. Existing inventories are usually based on assumptions, with little available data, due to various factors: a large number of machinery type, a large variety of internal combustion engines installed in non-road mobile...Read more

Topic:
Air pollution
Headspace solid-phase micro extraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) was performed for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from books. Towards this, books of different ages were examined (old = 50-300 years and new = 2-25 years) using a CAR/PDMS fiber...Read more
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
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS MEASURES ON THE AIR QUALITY AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES
Oliva G., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Galang M., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Air pollution
The World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of January 2020 declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the end of March 2020, the epidemic turned into the pandemic. The consequent stringent lockdown measures adopted to mitigate the spread of the virus generated huge...Read more
