Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Nothing-to-Waste is a green venture about the promotion and implementation of circular economy in the area of Western Thessaloniki, Greece, where 24 businesses are attempting to self-manage their waste in sustainable way. The project is being planned, implemented, coordinated and monitored by...Read more
Air pollution assessment for regulatory purposes: a CFD approach design
(Corresponding) Antuña Yudego E., Fernández Pacheco V., Suárez López M., Álvarez Álvarez E., Carús Candás J.
Topic:
Air pollution
In a context of atmospheric pollution levels on the rise, there is a growing interest in the use of pollutant dispersion tools, especially for regulatory purposes involving industrial activities. Environmental organizations from different countries legislate and encourage the use of different types...Read more
Evaluation of atmospheric pollutants dispersion using CFD numerical models
Fernández Pacheco V., (Corresponding) Antuña Yudego E., Suárez López M., Carús Candás J., Álvarez Álvarez E.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper describes the approach of studying air pollution by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. It also includes a report of a series of investigations performed in order to illustrate the potential of such models with the aim to give a solution to the dispersion to resolve the...Read more

Sonolytic and hybrid-sonolytic degradation of 6-hydroxy-methyl uracil, a model compound for the study of cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin.
Voumvouraki M., Synefakis E., Christophoridis C., (Corresponding) Bizani E., Hiskia A., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The occurence of cyanotoxins, produced from cyanobacterial blooms, in the aquatic environment, has been a topic of great importance for scientists and authorities, over the last years. Cyanotoxins can greatly affect humans and fauna [1], therefore, their inclusion in monitoring programmes and in...Read more
EXTRACTION AND DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS ADSORBED INTO MICROPLASTICS
Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more
Morphological analysis approach to detect microfiber contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Corresponding) Volgare M., Santonicola S., Gentile G., Errico M., Castaldo R., Avolio R., Raimo G., Gaspari M., Colavita G., Mercogliano R., Cocca M.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastic pollution is a widespread threat for marine fauna. Mussels are good candidates for assessment of microplastic exposure in the environment because of their wide geographical and spatial distribution and their filtration system. In this work the 65% of analysed mussels assessed the...Read more
Training Opportunities for Estonian Elite Athletes in the COVID-19 situation
Parm Ü., Tomingas T., (Corresponding) Tamm A.
Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
COVID-19 pandemic influences different aspects of society, especially sports. The aim of research was to assess the changes in training conditions and aspects of training of Estonian elite athletes in the COVID-19 situation and get feedback of athletes` assessment about pandemic impact of the on...Read more
Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis using Micropollutant Measurements on the Most Polluted Tributary of Ergene River: Çorlu Stream
(Corresponding) Cingiroglu F., Emadian S., Tezel U., Kaynak B.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
This study focuses on investigation the spatial distribution of pollutants in Çorlu Stream is the highest industrialized tributary of Ergene River which is one of the most polluted rivers in Turkey. A total of 250 conventional, metal and micropollutants were scanned at eleven sampling locations for...Read more

TROPOMI NO2 and SO2 Temporal Changes over Large Point Sources and Their Relationship with Electricity Production
Cingiroglu F., Deger S., Ceker A., Akyuz E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
This study focuses on the spatial distribution and temporal changes of NO2 and SO2 pollution over large point sources using high-resolution TROPOMI retrievals, and aims to find a correlation between the retrievals and electricity production. SO2 retrievals showed highest signals over power plants,...Read more
Keywords:
TROPOMI, power plants, NO2, SO2, temporal distribution
Considering LSI in MSP in Greece: updates and challenges
(Corresponding) Papageorgiou M., Kyvelou S.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The LSI analysis should be understood as an important component in the preparation of MSPlans to be reached through consistency of policies and decision-making. In Greece, although LSI as a term is fully incorporated in MSP legislation, its consideration may be easily and completely disregarded,...Read more
