Can Microalgae Revitalize Phytotoxic Soils?
(Corresponding) Vítová M., Jílková V., Čížková M., Kvíderová J., Elster J., Frouz J.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Microalgae represent a variable group of photoauto-trophic microorganisms that include both prokaryotic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. Compared to higher plants, algae have faster growth, higher photo-synthetic efficiency and the ability to colonize differ-ent ecological niches. The advantage...Read more
Indoor air pollution: innovative solution for active purification treatments
Widolff M., Meyer Y., (Corresponding) Dutournie P.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Indoor air is heavily polluted, much more so than outdoor air, but unfortunately it’s indoors that we spend most of our time. This pollution can have a real impact on health, which is why it’s necessary to treat it. To do this, various methods exist, including photocatalysis. Technopure is a French...Read more

Οptical and microphysical properties of Saharan and Saudi Arabian desert based on AERONET data products
(Corresponding) Giannakaki E., Koutounidis I.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
The study investigates possible differences between the Saharan and Saudi Arabian deserts' dust particles based on AERONET network. Our results shows that while particle depolarization ratio values at 440 nm were similar for both regions, the Saudi Arabian lidar ratio (at 440 nm) was...Read more
Aerosol Characterization Based on Graphical Method of Gobbi Diagrams
(Corresponding) Koutounidis I., Giannakaki E.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
A practical graphical approach for translating å and its spectral curvature (Δå) into estimates of fine-mode aerosol radius and its contribution to total AOT was proposed by Gobbi et al. (2007). In the present study, we utilize AERONET Version 3 Level 3 data—specifically lidar ratio and...Read more
Study of the occurrence, sources and distribution trends of emerging contaminants in the Saronikos Gulf and Elefsis Gulf, Greece, utilizing ion mobility tandem high resolution mass spectrometry
Lougkovois R., Parinos C., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Hatzianestis I., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study investigates the occurrence, distribution and ecological risk of emerging contaminants (ECs) and priority pollutants (PPs) in seawater and sediments of the Saronikos Gulf, and Elefsis Bay, Greece. The occurrence of more than 4,000 LC-amenable organic micropollutants was investigated...Read more

Long-term Measurements of SO2 Concentrations Within the Atmospheric Column on Gozo (Maltese Islands)
Saliba M., (Corresponding) Micallef A.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Sulphur dioxide (SO¬2) concentrations were measured over a twelve-year period (2011 - 2023) at the Giordan Lighthouse Atmospheric Observatory, located on the Island of Gozo (forming part of the Maltese Archipelago), in the Central Mediterranean. Trend analysis reveals that SO2 concentrations are...Read more

Identification and Quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil from the Vinča Landfill (Serbia)
(Corresponding) Mitić J., Kojić I., Relić D., Popović A., Milićević T.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Vinča landfill, the biggest sanitary landfill in Serbia, causes many environmental implications. The investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is of main importance due to the frequent landfill burning. In this study, eight soil samples (<630µm) from Vinča landfill were analysed...Read more
Microbial activity in mine tailing dump in South-West Sardinia (Italy)
(Corresponding) Mandaresu M., Cappai G., Tamburini E.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Abandoned mines represent a major environmental concern worldwide, posing serious risks to human health and ecosystems. In this study, microbial abundance and dehydrogenase activity were evaluated in surface substrates collected from a highly contaminated (Zn, Pb and Cd) tailing dump and in the...Read more
Green and simple analysis of brominated and organophosphate flame retardants in Fish Samples Using QuEChERS Extraction and GC-MS
Sykalia D., Trantopoulos E., Tsoutsi C., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
The persistence of PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) and the increasing risk of OPFRs (Organophosphate Flame Retardants) to aquatic ecosystems and human health require detailed studies on their prevalence in fish, an essential component of the food web. The present work describes the...Read more
Determination of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Fish Feed by QuEChERS and GCxGC-TOF MS
Efthimiou C., Sykalia D., Tsoutsi C., Hela D., (Corresponding) Konstantinou I.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are organic pollutants widely used as flame retardants in various products. Due to their stability and lipophilic nature, PBDEs tend to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, raising concerns about their presence in aquaculture products. In this study, a...Read more
