NORMAN Non-target screening (NTS) prioritisation scheme for ranking thousands of contaminants of emerging concern in effluent wastewater collected from Europe
(Corresponding) Alygizakis N., Dulio V., Von der Ohe P., Slobodnik J., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Prioritisation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) remains a challenging task of primary importance for environmental managers and the scientific community as regards the definition of priority actions for pollution prevention & control and for the allocation of resources to address...Read more

Influence of Varying Concentration of Toluene in a Soil Biofilter with Water Content Control
Badilla D.
Topic:
Air pollution
Contaminant concentration affects rate of removal of air contaminant in biofiltration. In this study, extent of degradation rate at varying concentrations of toluene (from 50 to 700 ppm) as the air contaminant in terms of elimination capacity (EC) was measured in a soil biofilter with water content...Read more

The effect of Boundary Layer Meteorology in GHGs concentrations –The case study over 3 European cities using an aerial platform
(Corresponding) MAGGOS T., FLOCAS H., SOULOS T., Lenarčič M., PANAGOPOULOS P., Gotti A., Karakitsios S., Sarigiannis D.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
In the frame of an EC Horizon2020 project named “ICARUS” (Integrated Climate forcing and Air pollution reduction in Urban Systems), a newly constructed N.A.S.A Awarded light aircraft equipped with high-tech scientific instrumentation was used to perform an aerial mapping over Athens, Thessaloniki...Read more
Life cycle assessment analysis for remediation technology choice: a case study
(Corresponding) de Folly d'Auris A., Baric M., Tonziello J.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) may be helpful in the choice of a remediation technology, because remediation itself entails impacts. Presently, government and public institutions involved in the decisional workflow focused their attention on minimizing risks at site and for the receptors but do not...Read more
On the positive influence of Pd species on low-density polyethylene cracking
Pyra K., Tarach K., Majda D., Janiszewska E., Melián-Cabrera I., (Corresponding) Góra-Marek K.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Microporous 12-ring zeolite Beta was impregnated with palladium and evaluated in the cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) cracking. In addition to the catalytic measurements the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis and nitrogen adsorption, electron microscopy...Read more
Keywords:
LDPE cracking, zeolite, in situ and operando IR spectroscopy
Bottom-up synthesized hierarchical Beta zeolites as the catalysts for low-density polyethylene cracking
(Corresponding) Pyra K., Janiszewska E., Tarach K., Majda D., Góra-Marek K.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Improving mass transport in zeolites Beta by bottom-up hierarchization was aimed at preserving their native microporous acidic characteristic and finally demonstrating their applicability in LDPE catalytic pyrolysis, in contrast to top-down modified analogues.
Keywords:
hierarchical zeolites Beta, LDPE cracking, IR spectroscopy
Market and Trade Network Analysis of EU Emission Trading System
Fotakis D., (Corresponding) Dimos S., Evangelatou E., Mantis A., Mathioudaki A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is the world’s largest cap-and-trade system. The observed price instabilities and the oversupply of the allowances are two characteristics that affect the objectives and the efficiency of the policy.
In this article we investigate the impact of...Read more
Onshore wind farm siting and energy carrying capacity in the municipality of Aristotle in Chalkidiki – Greece
Drepaniotis I., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Wind power is one of the most environmentally friendly Renewable Energy Sources, as well as one of the rapidly growing and economically viable forms of renewable energy. Today's wind turbines can be considered as a mature and cost-effective technology with reasonable efficiency rates and high...Read more

The adoption of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to increase the implementation of EMAS
Voukkali I., Loizia P., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is European Voluntary environmental management tool designed to support organizations to improve their environmental performance. Articles 38 and 44 of the EMAS Regulation contain the invitation for Member States to adopt legal instruments for reducing...Read more

Urban Strategies for Waste Management in Coastal Areas
Voukkali I., Loizia P., Chatziparaskeva G., Navarro Pedreno J., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
In comparison with other areas, tourist areas have to face additional challenges related to waste prevention and management due to their geographical and climatic conditions, the seasonality of tourism flow and the specificity of tourism industry and of tourists as waste producers.
One major...Read more
