Particulate Matter impacts on public health in a Mediterranean coastal city, Patras, Greece

(Corresponding) Nastos P., Moustris K., Kosmopoulos G., Salamalikis V., Kazantzidis A.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

It is of great consensus among the scientific community that particulate matter (less than 10 μm or 2.5 μm in diameter, hereafter PM10 and PM2.5, respectively) has become a significant threat for human health in modern urban agglomerations. Taking into consideration the intensification of...Read more

Analysis of fungal bioaerosols in Athens: a pilot study.

(Corresponding) Metaxatos A., Manibusan S., Mainelis G.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

This pilot study is the first attempt to describe the bioaerosol composition found in Athens' urban air by DNA barcoding. There are currently limitations in establishing a direct link between fungal exposure and health effects due to shortcomings of existing sampling and analysis methods,...Read more

Indoor Built Environment and Human Comfort in Buildings with Complex Design

(Corresponding) Conceição E., Gomes J., Ramos A., Awbi H.

Topic:

Urban environment and health

In this paper, related with indoor built environment and human comfort, it is applied a numerical software in buildings with complex design. The methodology applies a numerical model which incorporates the building thermal behavior with the human thermal-physiology. The building model uses an...Read more
