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

Regulatory and Mitigation Strategies to Combat Microplastic Pollution in Agricultural Ecosystems
Phinikettou V., (Corresponding) Economou F., (Corresponding) Voukkali I., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic:
3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Microplastic contamination is a growing concern that affects environment and human health. Agriculture has been identified as a major source of microplastics (MPs) released into the environment, hence mitigating it will require a big paradigm shift across numerous sectors. The most recent research...Read more
Membrane-Based Treatment of Hydrothermal Carbonization Effluent from Municipal Biowaste
Mendes V., Faria A., Miguel C., (Corresponding) Esteves B.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The treatment of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) liquor derived from municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a key challenge due to its high organic load. This work compares, for the first time, the direct application of polymeric microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) with a multi-stage...Read more
Impact of Biochar Amendment on Pilot-Scale Anaerobic Digestion of Agro-Industrial Waste with Digestate Recirculation.
(Corresponding) Daskaloudis I., Lekkas D.
Topic:
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
This study evaluated the impact of biochar amendment on the performance of a pilot-scale anaerobic digester treating a mixture of olive pomace mill wastewater, cheese whey, and chicken manure under digestate recirculation. The 180 L mesophilic reactor operated for 160 days at a hydraulic retention...Read more
Mapping What People Value: A Review of Societal Demand for Forest Ecosystem Services in Europe
(Corresponding) Andreottola F.
Topic:
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
Forest ecosystems provide a diverse selection of ecosystem services (FES), including carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, water regulation, and recreational opportunities. However, these services are increasingly threatened by climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable management...Read more
Application of QuEChERS-GCxGC-TOF MS method for the determination of flame retardants in aquaculture fish samples.
Efthimiou C., Sykalia D., Tsoutsi C., Konstantinou I., Albanis T., (Corresponding) HELA D.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are two groups of chemical compounds commonly found in the aquatic environment, mainly because of their widespread use in consumer and industrial products. These substances can accumulate in fish, especially in...Read more
New Insight on Homolytic Peroxodisulfate Activation by Iron Sulfides and FeIV=O2+ Formation
(Corresponding) Guo P., Sühnholz S., Mackenzie K.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The aim of this study is to further investigate the mechanism of peroxodisulfate (PS) activation by iron sulfide crystals (FeSx) in the surface-mediated process in the aqueous environment. Various iron sulfide crystals were synthesized through co-precipitation and etch coating methods and screened...Read more
Monitoring plastic and Hg pollution impacts on two commercial species from the North Evoikos Gulf
Kostoula A., Dantsi C., Botsou F., Sakellari A., (Corresponding) Megalofonou P.
Topic:
3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
This study examines the presence of microplastics (MPs) and mercury (Hg) concentrations in 230 Boop boops L., and 203 Nephrops norvegicus L., sampled from the North Evoikos during the years 2021, 2022 and 2024. Microplastics were detected in 56.1% of
B. boops, with a mean abundance of 1.74 MPs/...Read more
Assessing the reliability of four air temperature interpolation functions in estimating chill accumulation for deciduous fruit trees
Tolidis T., (Corresponding) Mavrommatis T.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Chill models, which are essential for estimating the chill accumulation necessary for the dormancy of various fruit trees, require continuous hourly temperature. To date, there has been no comprehensive study establishing the best method for filling gaps in hourly temperature records for Greek...Read more
