Offshore windfarm siting in Greece using GIS and TOPSIS
SPYRIDONIDOU S., (Corresponding) VAGIONA D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The deployment of offshore wind power technologies is becoming increasingly important towards the sustainable development of regions. In Greece, wind energy is provided at the time being, only by onshore plants and the interest in investigating the top choices for offshore wind applications in...Read more
Climate change impact on river assimilative capacity: a case study application of water related climatic indicators
ROMAS E., (Corresponding) ZIOGAS A., PECHLIVANIDIS I., TZIMAS A.
Topic:
Water and climate services - challenges and user-tailored developments
In this investigation, we use climatic, water-related indicators to evaluate the impact of climate change on the assimilative capacity of the Asopos River, Central Greece. Indicators were developed and organised under the SWICCA climate service (http://swicca.eu), which aims to develop and showcase...Read more
Recovery of sulphuric acid and valuable metals (Zn, Cu and REE) from acidic mine waters using nanofiltration
(Corresponding) López J., Reig M., Vecino X., Valderrama C., Gibert O., Cortina J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Acidic mine waters (AMWs) contains moderate concentrations of sulphuric acid, relatively high concentrations of metals (Al, Fe, Cu and Zn) and minor amounts or rare earth elements (REE). The established management routes for AMW treatment include a neutralization-precipitation step, which implies a...Read more
Magnetic solid-phase extraction of pesticides in environmental water samples Fe3O4@SiO2@C18 nanoparticles coupled to GC-MS determination
KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) ALBANIS T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous extraction of ten pesticides belonging to various categories (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) in environmental water samples. The magnetic Fe3O4@...Read more

Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Mercury in the coastal waters of Greece under the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD)
Yfanti A., (Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou V., Chalkiadaki O., Botsou F., Panagopoulou G., Stathopoulou E., Zeri C., Tzempelikou E., Dassenakis M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Mercury (Hg) is an environmentally hazardous metal and a priority element in Mediterranean environmental monitoring. Hg is a priority pollutant in the main pieces of European legislation pertaining to the marine environment (the Marine Strategy Framework Directive - MSFD and the Water Framework...Read more
Nation-wide monitoring campaign of 49 contaminants of emerging concern in surface waters and sediments (EMNAT 2018): occurrence and PNEC exceedance evaluation
(Corresponding) Assoumani A., Lestremau F., Ferret C., Lepot B., Le Gall M., Salomon M., Budzinski H., Dévier M., Labadie P., Le Menach K., Pardon P., Wiest L., Vulliet E., Staub P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The overall objective of the 2018 survey campaign of contaminants of emerging concern in surface waters (continental and coastal) and sediments known as EMNAT 2018, is to provide monitoring data for the emerging contaminants prioritization exercise, which will allow the update of the list of...Read more

Small-scale fisheries in Istrian waters (northern Adriatic): preliminary results on catch analysis and presence of thermophilic species
(Corresponding) Iveša N., Buršić M., Gelli M., Barić O., Filipas R., Castellicchio A., Kovačić I., Pustijanac E., Štifanić M., Paliaga P., Millotti G., Gavrilović A.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Small-scale gillnet fisheries in northern Adriatic have latterly shown certain alterations, mainly related to more frequent occurrence of thermophilic species due to ongoing climate changes. This research presents data on gillnet catch in Istrian waters (Raša and Medulin Bay) in order to show the...Read more

Antineoplastic drugs in surface waters: presence, exposure, and risk.
(Corresponding) Gouveia T., Mota I., Silva A., Alves A., Santos M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Antineoplastic drugs are highly toxic pharmaceuticals used during chemotherapy. Their presence in surface waters has been reported worldwide, increasing environmental and human health concerns. This work estimates the risks from the exposure of humans to antineoplastic drugs via surface waters in a...Read more

Lateral and vertical variations of pharmaceutical contaminants in natural aquatic systems
(Corresponding) Mariano S., Singh R., Angeles L., Aga D., Jaraula C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The detection of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in environmental matrices raised concerns over their short- and long-term effects on the ecosystem. Wastewater is the primary carrier of PPCPs to the environment in highly urbanized regions. In the Philippines, Manila Bay serves as...Read more
