The DPSIR framework for integrating the Ecosystem Services in River Nestos lagoons- Greece.
Pournara A., Mirli A., Latinopoulos D., (Corresponding) Kagkalou I.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
It is well documented that conservation and management of water resources are directly related to the sustainable living, i.e. to social, economic and environmental aspects. There has been much effort by the European research community to provide tools to support the implementation of freshwater...Read more
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Greece: lessons learnt from the case of the Inner Ionian Sea – Corinthian Gulf
(Corresponding) PAPAGEORGIOU M., BERIATOS E.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The marine area of the Inner Ionian Sea and the Corinthian Gulf was studied in terms of MSP in the framework of the SUPREME EU project, which was undertaken by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy, with the collaboration of NTUA, UTh and NKUA.
Key task of the project was all countries...Read more
Trends in hydrologic prediction for the design of hydraulic projects
(Corresponding) Daniil E., Michas S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Estimation and prediction of runoff and related design discharges under past and future conditions are key elements for the design of flood defense, watercourse demarcation, urban stormwater, road drainage systems. Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation, Greece, is in the process of...Read more
Updating hydrologic studies and the impact on hydraulic design
(Corresponding) DANIIL E., MICHAS S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Flood events causing damages, fatalities, trigger new flood protection studies. Updated hydrologic study conforming with recent develop¬ments is required. Implementation of 2007/60/EU Directive led to Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment and Flood Risk Management Plans, establishment of related...Read more
Keywords:
hydrologic prediction, flood protection, hydraulic design, IDFs, past and present conditions
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS MEASURES ON THE AIR QUALITY AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES
Oliva G., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Galang M., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Air pollution
The World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of January 2020 declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the end of March 2020, the epidemic turned into the pandemic. The consequent stringent lockdown measures adopted to mitigate the spread of the virus generated huge...Read more
Keywords:
air quality, covid, policy-makers, impact, pollutants
Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more
Keywords:
citizen science, odour, industrial plants, IOMS, social partecipation
The research present a novel dynamic and embedded multi criteria methodology for the environmental monitoring and control of large-scale civil engineering works subjected to environmental impact assessment procedure. The principal phases are discussed and highlighted, along with the identification...Read more

Evaluation of soil loaded with green iron nanoparticles for hexavalent chromium reduction
(Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Mpouras A., Papassiopi N., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Chromate is a pollutant often found in groundwater and considered a serious threat for humans and ecosystem. Iron nanoparticles produced by green tea polyphenols (GT-nZVI) is a powerful reductant, appropriate for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). GT-nZVI suspension was initially conceived ideal...Read more
Keywords:
hexavalent chromium, soil loaded nZVI, green nano-iron, calcareous soils
Synthesis and characterization of nanomagnetite for environmental applications
(Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Papassiopi N., Xenidis A.
Topic:
Environmental applications of nanomaterials
Μagnetite (Fe3O4) in nanoscale has been very attractive due to its unique properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Nanomagnetite can be applied as drug delivery medium, as catalyst and as efficient adsorbent and reducing agent for water treatment. In this study, magnetite...Read more
Keywords:
magnetite; magnetic nanoparticles; microwave synthesis; chromium removal; adsorption.
Removal of Cr(VI) under flow conditions using a green nano-iron loaded resin
(Corresponding) Toli A., Mystrioti C., Xenidis A., Papassiopi N.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
A new nanocomposite material, consisting of nanoiron incorporated in cationic resin beads, was evaluated for the removal of Cr(VI) under flow conditions, by conducting column experiments. An aqueous solution containing Cr(VI) 5 mg/L and NaCl 0.01 M as inert electrolyte was introduced in the column...Read more
