Accumulation of microplastic in road dust and in soil alongside roads – a case study from the Eastern Region, Abu Dhabi
Habib R., Al Kindi R., Ghebremedhin F., Elkashlan M., Ajejevbe A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Roadsides and soil have been sampled for microplastic content in 7 locations in the Al Ain area, Eastern Region, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The collection sites constituted residential areas and fall-out roads, but also one Wadi and the shoreline of a man-make lake. The concentration of micro-tire particles...Read more
Ground based integrated path differential absorption sensor for remote sensing of CO2, CH4 and H2O atmospheric greenhouse gases
(Corresponding) Panagiotis S., Psyllakis G., Samartzis P., Velegrakis M.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
An autonomous, ground-based, integrated path, differential absorption light detection (IPDA) system is presented, capable of measuring multiple gases concentration in the atmosphere. The device was developed to monitor small scale locations with high greenhouse gases emissions and is equipped with...Read more
Assessment of Carrot Juicing Pulp Hydrolysate fed MEC for Bio-Hydrogen production
Gautam R., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The thrust for alternative renewable energy carrier with the integration of solid waste management and biofuel production is considering Biohydrogen as one of the most attractive alternatives. The present study aims to assess the suitability of carrot juicing pulp hydrolysate (CJPH) fed membrane...Read more

Evaluation of viable anode material for bioelectricity production in Microbial Fuel Cell
Gautam R., Nayak J., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology is based on bioelectrochemical system, extract power from organic load of the wastes to produce bio-electricity. The present study have evaluated the effect of the different electrode materials in two sets of mediator-less H- type double chambered MFC operated...Read more

Evaluation of the potential of four microalgal-bacterial symbiotic association on wastewater treatment and lipid accumulation
Talapatra K., Mittal V., (Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems have demonstrated greater benefits over the pure culture of microalgae. The existence of certain bacteria will increase the quality of sewage purification and also reduce the associated high capital cost for maintaining the pure culture of microalgae. In this...Read more
Uncertainty aspects of 2D flood modelling in a benchmark case study
(Corresponding) Bellos V., Tsihrintzis V.
Topic:
Prediction in ungauged basins and prediction under uncertainty
In this study, we investigate the contribution of several uncertainty drivers towards the total uncertainty of a 2D flood model, in a benchmark case study under steady flow conditions. The simulator used for the analysis is the in-house FLOW-R2D software, whilst the benchmark case study consists of...Read more
Simulation of an urban flash flood: the 2017 flood event in Mandra, Attica
Handrinos S., (Corresponding) Bellos V., Sibetheros I.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
This study deals with the 2D flood simulation of an urban flash flood event that took place on November 15, 2017 in Mandra, Attica. The well-known hydrodynamic software HEC-RAS was used for the flood simulation. The model input was an ensemble of 100 hydrographs, derived from the simulation of the...Read more
Clean water – Healthy city. Using of WBE for monitoring of the consumption of illicit drugs in the city Prague
(Corresponding) Očenášková V., Tušil P., Marešová D., Pospíchalová D., Cielecká N.
Topic:
City metabolism or areas metabolism
The results of the three years long project named Municipal wastewater as a diagnostic medium of the capital city of Prague are presented. The post informs about regular, almost two-year long monitoring of municipal wastewater at selected sampling points of the Prague sewerage network. In addition...Read more
Assessing the Environmental Impact of Maritime Transport for the Port of Mytilene with a Focus on the Emission Accounting of the Port of Arrival
(Corresponding) Kelmalis A., Lekkas D., Vakalis S.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Global accounting of the environmental impact from maritime transport is an ongoing conversation. This study introduces the idea that emissions from open-sea cruising can accounted as stock at the port of arrival. An example is presented for the case of Mytilene (for a single month) where the in-...Read more
The role of biomass and biowaste in the green energy transition of islands and an introduction to the μgas-to-grid concept
(Corresponding) Vakalis S., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The green transition of the energy sector in islands has always been a challenging task. The connectivity of islands with the (mainland) central grid can be problematic, especially when the distance is significant. In such cases, isolated electrical grids need to be developed on the islands, and...Read more
