Evaluation of environmental impact assessment factors in maritime industry.
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G., Daniil G.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
The environmental impact of shipping industry includes the pollution caused by vessels to air and water environment.
The water pollution is primarily caused by ship accidents and by untreated ballast water. To avoid maritime accidents, a complex system of regulations and safety management...Read more

Design of Road-Side Barriers to Mitigate Air Pollution near Roads
(Corresponding) Huertas J., Aguirre J., Lopez O., Lopez C.
Topic:
Air pollution
The effects of using solid barriers on the dispersion of air pollutants emitted from the traffic of vehicles on roads located over flat areas were quantified, aiming to identify the geometry that maximizes the mitigation effect of air pollution near the road at the lowest barrier cost. Toward that...Read more

Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more

DETERMINATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS FROM PMDI PRODUCTS IN GREECE
(Corresponding) Glytsos T., Mammi-Galani E., Chalvatzaki E., Korkontzelou A., Letsios V., Alexandrakis S., Lazaridis M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The focus of the current study is on the estimation of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs) products in Greece. The emissions are expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). The total emissions of the pMDIs were estimated at 47.53 kt CO2eq and they...Read more
Portugal is one of the most affected countries in southern Europe by wildfires. The human exposure characterization to fine particulate matter (PM) during fires remains limited; no information is available for ultrafine particles nor their composition on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)...Read more

UrbEm: a method and tool to refine regional emission inventories for urban atmospheric studies
(Corresponding) Kakouri A., Ramacher M., Kuenen J., Speyer O., Gerasopoulos E., Athanasopoulou E.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
As cities are growing in size and complexity, the estimation of air pollution exposure requires detailed spatial representation of air pollution levels. Intra-urban atmospheric studies require up-to-date and credible emission inventories. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides...Read more

Electricity generators in the European Union emissions trading system: definitional aspects in the light of a judicial decision
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Carbon market
The "electricity generator" definition (introduced through Directive 2009/29/EC, based on electricity sale and effective since 1.1.2005) is significant within the European Union greenhouse gases Emissions Trading System (ETS). Established through Directive 2003/87/EC, ETS currently (2021-...Read more

The geopolitical risk index effect on the energy market, emissions and climate change
Polemis D., (Corresponding) Mamalis V.
Topic:
Transportation and the environment
Over time, global crises have affected the energy market much more than major geopolitical events. In recent years, humanity has been faced with the Covid 19 crisis, which has caused great disruption in the energy market and unprecedented phenomena in oil prices.
Also, during the same period, due...Read more
