Topic:
Food waste
Food waste generation is an issue that poses grave environmental, social and economic repercussions for the entire European Union (EU). According to the findings of the UNEP Food Waste Index Report (2020), approximately 931 million tonnes of food waste were generated in 2019. To tackle this issue,...Read more
Environmental performance of two WEEE sorting centers operating in Greece
(Corresponding) Abeliotis K., Konstantzos G., Chroni C., Moschopoulou E., Lasaridi K.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The Life ReWeee Project aims to prevent the creation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), by collecting, shorting and preparing them for reuse or treatment. For this project, two WEEE sorting centers (SCs) were established and operating in the wider region of Attica and Central...Read more
Assessment of surface water quality on an oil extraction area in Albania
Zela G., Malltezi J., Demiraj E., Zela E., Sulce S., (Corresponding) Bani A.
Topic:
Environmental pollution
Oil extraction activities in Albania are considered as highly polluting for surface waters, but more for the amount of direct spills in riverine waters. The aim of this study was to assess the surface water quality for a period of 5 years (2014-2018) in four seasons based on different physico-...Read more

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology
Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

Topic:
Wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor covid-19 outbreak: present and future diagnostic methods to be in your radar
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread rapidly all over the world with considerable morbidity and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infections are accompanied by the shedding of virus in feces of both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, indicating that Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE) is an...Read more
Determining the Participation of Sub-Basins in Peak Discharge and Runoff Volume with HEC-GeoHMS Model
(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Naeimi Hoshmand F.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
One of the most important measures in flood management projects is to investigate the participation of different sub-basins of a watershed in determining the various components of flood discharge from the basin. Due to the lack of hydrometric stations at the outlet of all sub-basins, achieving this...Read more

Toxicity, uptake, and biotransformation assessment of zebrafish embryos exposed to tetracaine, under different pH values, utilizing embryotoxicity and LC-HRMS
Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aleiferi E., Tzepkinli V., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Kuttler J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities, over the last decades. Given the large number of xenobiotics (such as pharmaceuticals), for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse...Read more

Mechanism of tolerance and adaptive strategies developed by Moringa oleifera (L) during its growth under a salt constraint in hydroponics
BOUMENJEL A., PAPADOPOULOS A., (Corresponding) Pantera A., AMMARI Y.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Moringa oleifera (L) is a promising species to be used in reforestations of dry areas. A question that remains to be investigated is its resistance to salinity conditions. This work’s major goal was to investigate the response of this species in increasing salinity conditions, in order to increase...Read more
