Pharmaceutical residues in hospital and urban wastewaters: Occurrence, removal and potential risk assessment
Martinaiou P., Trantopoulos E., (Corresponding) Kosma C., Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of ten pharmaceutical compounds (bupropion, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, sertraline, citalopram, caffeine, triclosan, carbamazepine, diazepam, clozapine) which belong to different treatment categories was studied in one hospital and three urban WWTPs in north and northwestern Greece. The...Read more
Approaches to tackle emerging challenges in European aquaculture
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Federico H., Davide F., Marco P.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The word demand for fish is increasing. Whilst on one hand, fishing is carried out in a not sustainable ways in the main fishing areas (e.g., overexploitation of natural stocks, remarkable fuel and energy consumption), on the other hand, acquaculture, above all when not performed inland, involves...Read more
Benthic litter density maps through low-cost underwater towed video camera surveys. An integrated approach.
(Corresponding) FAKIRIS E., CHRISTODOULOU D., KORDELLA S., GERAGA M., PAPATHEODOROU G.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The marine environment is the final recipient and digester of litter. Floating and benthic litter constitute the majority of litter items in the marine environment while both remain quite unexploited due to their demand in high-cost and time-consuming surveys. In this paper we propose an integrated...Read more

Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat
Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more
A qualitative assessment of Environmental Impact Studies in Greece
Mimikos L., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a proactive methodical process that investigates and predicts the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of a proposed project/activity on various environmental components, ideally from project/activity initiation to decommissioning. The output of...Read more
Life Cycle Assessment of Cheese in Terms of Climate Change
(Corresponding) Dagiliūtė R., Minkevičiūtė I., Dikšaitytė A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Milk products are important sources of nutrients in the human diet; however, they have a significant impact on the environment, particularly because of the greenhouse gases that are generated during the production of these products. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of life cycle of...Read more

A stochastic approach to resilience assessment of urban water systems from source to tap.
(Corresponding) Nikolopoulos D., Kossieris P., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
The design of urban water systems faces long-term uncertainties in a multitude of parameters, from the hydroclimatic and socioeconomic realms, such as population growth, climate change and shifting demand patterns. To analyze such systems in a holistic way, many models for sub-systems are typically...Read more
Keywords:
resilience assessment; water resources management; source-to-tap water systems; strategic planning; uncertainty
Quantitative target screening and soil bioavailability assessment as tools to assess risks associated with wastewater reuse for irrigation
Beretsou V., Nika M., Manoli K., Lundy L., Thomaidis N., Revitt M., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Multi-residue analysis of various classes of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in wastewater, along with improvements in analytical methodologies, may allow for future application of promising wastewater tracers, thus providing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators and...Read more
Keywords:
contaminants of emerging concern, metabolites, transformation products, high-resolution mass spectrometry, risk assessment, wastewater reuse
Environmental assessment using acoustic complexity indicators
(Corresponding) Tsaligopoulos A., Economou C., Matsinos Y.
Topic:
Biodibersity conservation
The procedure of sound recording offers new perspectives in ecology. Nevertheless, the existing tools that offer high resolution recordings are expensive. The use of acoustic indicators is proposed as an easy-to-use, rapid, non-intrusive, low-cost option in biodiversity assessment as well as in...Read more
SUITABLE PRACTICES OF DESIGN AND REPAIRMENT FOR REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF SMARTPHONES
(Corresponding) Perula A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Nowadays, smartphones are one of the most common devices in developed countries, as most citizens are owners of at least one. However, smartphone’s average lifetime is reported to be between 2 and 3 years by many studies, and the environmental impact of manufacturing, using and disposing of these...Read more
