Development of fluorescence sensors for DBPs control in drinking water
(Corresponding) Roccaro P., Marino L.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Chlorination of drinking water has been recognized as one of the most effective public health measures ever. However, chlorine reacts with Natural Organic Matter (NOM) present in all surface waters to produce disinfection by-products (DBPs). Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are...Read more
Ship electrification as a pathway to decarbonize shipping: The case of Perama-Salamina line
(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Remoundos G., Lekakou M., Polydoropoulou A., Papaioannou G., Katsounis G., Fameli K., Assimakopoulos V., Grivas G., Mihalopoulos N., Liora N., Poupkou A., Progiou A., Zerefos C., Grigoriadis A., Tsegas G., Fragkou E., Ntziachristos L.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Ship electrification offers a promising pathway to decarbonise maritime transportation, especially for short-sea shipping, and activities within port areas. This paper examines the viability of using hybrid or fully electric vessels on a coastal route in the Aegean Sea, with the goal of assessing...Read more

Measuring climate data in school environment: Analysis of Climatic Trends on the island of Chios (2014–2025)
(Corresponding) Theodosiou K., Papageorgiou K.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Teachers of natural sciences theoretically have the ability and privilege to conduct their lessons in a laboratory. In this way, students develop a special interest in the subject of science and acquire additional skills. However, these experiments are typically focus on the syllabus and...Read more
Nanobiotechnology for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater
(Corresponding) Shafiq S.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Nanobiotechnology offers promising techniques to treat and clean industrially wastewater. Past reports on wastewater particularly from textile industries, have shown significant levels of harmful and toxic heavy metals including chromium, lead, zinc and cadmium. Removal of such toxic heavy metals...Read more

Performance of Electrified MXene Membranes in Real Wastewater Applications
Ouda M., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Nanoplastic (NP) contamination in wastewater is a growing environmental concern, requiring innovative and scalable treatment. Electrified membranes have emerged as a promising approach for NP removal by leveraging electrostatic repulsion and electrocoagulation mechanisms. In this study, we...Read more
Nature-based Solutions: evolution through time in the Mediterranean Basin
(Corresponding) Pantera A., Papadopoulos A., Lubczyński M., Pisani B., Andreu A., Mendes M., Rolo V., (Corresponding) Moreno G., Salbitano F., Mosquera-Losada R., Samper J.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
The Mediterranean basin may be one of the few bioregions on earth where the steep environmental gradients and the biota are so tightly intermixed and interrelated within diverse ecological niches, ecosystems and landscapes. However, several natural or human-induced challenges threaten this unique...Read more
The pollution before the flood: Microplastics and PAHs in water, sediment and fish from Júcar River basin (E Spain)
(Corresponding) Soursou V., Andreu Perez V., Picó Y., La Nasa J., Modugno F., Giannarelli S., Campo J.
Topic:
10. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING
In October 2024, Júcar River and its tributary, Magro, were responsible for the fatal floods in the south of the province of Valencia. There is general concern about the environmental pollution by microplastics (MPs) due to their possible adverse effects on organisms and their ability to accumulate...Read more
Keywords:
flood, microplastics, PAHs, ecological risk, cancer risk
Design and Evaluation of a Scalable Shock Wave Electrodialysis with Multi-Cell Stack for Efficient Desalination
Lin Y., Yupo L., Po-Chih T., (Corresponding) Shu-Yuan P.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Shock Wave Electrodialysis (SWED) is an innovative separation technology that integrates microfluidic principles into electrodialysis stacks, pioneered by MIT’s Bazant Research Group. By operating under over-limiting current conditions, SWED enhances ion separation through the formation of shock...Read more

The Anthropocene and the wetlands: Pharmaceuticals and trace elements interactions in a Mediterranean wetland (L’Albufera, Spain).
(Corresponding) Andreu V., Campo J.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Trace elements and pharmaceutical products can affect the fragile balance in which Mediterranean wetlands are sustained. A clear example of that is L’Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain), which shows constant pressure derived from high human and industrial occupation. In it, 14 areas were...Read more
History of Forest fires and resin tapping as a tool in the management of the Varibobi forest
(Corresponding) Papadopoulos A., Pantera A., Palaiologou P., (Corresponding) Zografakis S.
Topic:
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
This study examines the historical interrelation between forest fires and resin tapping in the Varibobi forest, which was significantly affected by the devastating fire of 2021. By analyzing tree-ring widths and chronology from both unburned and burned Aleppo pine stands, we identified and dated...Read more
