AIR QUALITY PROGNOSIS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS MODELING IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF VOLOS, CENTRAL GREECE
(2014)It is well known that natural and anthropogenic emissions of ambient pollutants affect air quality and as a consequence the public health. Various epidemiological studies have identified particulate matter (PM10) and surface ... -
Application of multivariate statistical methods for groundwater physicochemical and biological quality assessment in the context of public health
(2010)Three representative areas (lowland, semi-mountainous, and coastal) have been selected for the collection of drinking water samples, and a total number of 28 physical, chemical, and biological parameters per water sample ... -

(2012)The aim of this work is to study the bioclimatic conditions as well as the air quality for three different regions of the greater Athens area (GAA), during the warm period of the year for the time period 2001-2005. ... -
ECOLOGICAL MONITORING STUDIES, FOR VOLOS SEA OUTFALL (PAGASSITIKOS-GULF, WESTERN AEGEAN SEA)
(1995)Nutrient pollution in Pagassitikos Gulf arises mainly from the disposal of Volos untreated domestic wastewater inside Volos Bay, and also the agricultural run-off from the surrounding the Gulf cultivated areas. Volos Bay's ... -
THE ECOLOGICAL STATE OF THE ELEFSIS BAY PRIOR TO THE OPERATION OF THE ATHENS SEA OUTFALL
(1994)Nutrient pollution in Elefsis Bay arises mainly from the disposal of Athens untreated wastewater at the eastern entrance of the Bay. The absence of river discharge, lack of cultivated agricultural areas providing runoff ... -
Elevated Bathing-Associated Disease Risks Despite Certified Water Quality: A Cohort Study
(2012)Bacteriological water quality criteria have been recommended to ensure bathers' health. However, this risk-assessment approach is based mainly on routine measurements of fecal pollution indicator bacteria in seawater, and ... -

(2007)The contents of eleven elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, As, V, Cr and Mg) have been assayed in the agricultural soils of Dimitra-Eleftherion and Platycampos region (Thessaly, Greece). One hundred twenty two top soil ... -
Environmental Kuznets Curve for sulfur: evidence using GMM estimation and random coefficient panel data models
(2003)The purpose of this study is to test empirically the hypothesis of the inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental damage from sulfur emissions and economic growth as expressed by GDP. Using a large database of ... -
Exploring the existence of Kuznets curve in countries' environmental efficiency using DEA window analysis
(2009)This paper, using data envelopment (DEA) window analysis and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators, examines the existence of a Kuznets type relationship between countries' environmental efficiency and national ... -
Methodological aspects of a GIS-based environmental health inspection program used in the Athens 2004 Olympic and Para Olympic Games
(2005)Background: The use of geographical information system (GIS) technologies in public health surveillance is gradually gaining momentum around the world and many applications have already been reported in the literature. In ... -
Spatial monitoring of arsenic and heavy metals in the Almyros area, Central Greece. Statistical approach for assessing the sources of contamination
(2015)The purpose of this work was to provide information on As and heavy metals content in surface soils of the Almyros area, in Central Greece. A 3-year (2009-2011) research was conducted, in order to investigate the possible ... -
Traceabilty of environmental soil measurements
(2004)Traceability is a key concept in environmental soil measurements, and should be linked with any soil measurement, especially long-term soil monitoring, which needs to demonstrate measurement quality. This article presents ...
