Occurrence and distribution of hexavalent chromium in ground and surface waters in Cyprus under the CrITERIA project
(Corresponding) Zissimos A., Christofi C., Christoforou I., Rigas M.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The origin and distribution of hexavalent chromium, Cr (VI) over four seasonal cycles was investigated through a conceptual model that included three aquifer systems in Cyprus. An extensive water sampling grid covered two areas of known sea water intrusion of the local coastal aquifers, namely the...Read more
Design-based and model-based estimations of distribution and abundance of dolphin populations in Gulf of Corinth, Hellas
(Corresponding) Karamitros G., Giantsis I., Martsikalis P., Kavouras M., Exadactylos A.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In recent years a major scientific effort has been focused on the protection of marine mammals. Gulf of Corinth is part of the Natura 2000 network (GR2530007) since 2016, with Special Areas of Conservation and constitutes an important habitat for striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), bottlenose...Read more

Harmonization of sampling and chemical analysis for the study of Cr(VI) water contamination in aquifers of eastern Mediterranean and Oman: the CrITERIA project experience
(Corresponding) Argyraki A., Kelepertzis E., Pyrgaki K., Botsou F., Megremi I., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The CrITERIA project aims to deliver a harmonized data base, to assist water resource management organizations and water users on decision making when coping with water scarcity, climate extreme events and contaminated water. Contamination by Cr(VI) is used as an example of a specific water...Read more

Sampling Strategies of Microplastic in Stormwater Runoff from Separate Drainage Systems
(Corresponding) Abusafia A., Scheid C., Meurer M., Altmann K., Braun U., Bannick C., Dittmer U., Steinmetz H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of microplastic in terrestrial and water environments can be traced back to anthropogenic activities. Urban drainage systems play a role in transporting microplastic from urban sources into receiving waters or soils. The analysis (including sampling, sample preparation and detection...Read more

Determination of atmospheric amines in boreal forest using unmanned aerial drone with an integrated miniaturized air sampling system
Pusfitasari E., Ruiz-Jimenez J., Heiskanen I., Jussila M., Hartonen K., (Corresponding) Riekkola M.
Topic:
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
Amines are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and their presence is considered important especially due to their hazard to human health and their contribution to new particle formation that can affect climate change. In this study, tailor-made mesoporous functionalized silica sorbents were used in in-...Read more
CONTAMINATED SOIL MANAGEMENT IN GREECE: EU AND INTERNATIONAL BEST AVAILABLE PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Corresponding) Panagiotakis I., Strompoula E., Dermatas D., Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Contaminated soil management is one of the most rapidly developing environmental protection subjects. Unlike most EU countries, Greece does not have a robust Soil Strategy and as a result a Contaminated Soil Management Framework. Currently in Greece, contaminated soil management is part of the...Read more
