Active biomonitoring in Greek coastal waters: Application of the integrated biomarker response index in relation to contaminant levels in caged mussels
(2011)An integrated approach using biomarkers and contaminant levels in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis L was employed to assess chemical contamination in Greek coastal waters within the framework of the MYTIMED program. ... -
Advancements of nanotechnologies in crop promotion and soil fertility: Benefits, life cycle assessment, and legislation policies
(2021)Increasing agricultural production has become one of the key components to bridge the gap between securing food resources and sustainable development goals (SDGs), namely, no poverty, zero hunger, preservation of natural ... -
Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a persistent fungicide used in the post-harvest treatment of fruits. Its application results in the production of contaminated effluents which should be treated before their environmental discharge. ... -
The effects of fiscal policy on CO2 emissions: Evidence from the U.S.A.
(2016)This paper examines the effects of fiscal policy on CO2 emissions using Vector Autoregressions on U.S. quarterly data from 1973 to 2013. In particular, we analyze the short- and mid-term interactions between fiscal policy ... -
Environmental friendly poultry production using novel precision livestock techniques
(2015)The present economic situation in poultry production forces producers to focus on improving efficiency in order to increase their competitiveness. Among the important factors in achieving improved efficiency is the provision ... -
Environmental noise and air pollution monitoring in the athens ring road ('attiki odos') an important parameter for a sustainable urban development
(2015)Attica Tollway (Attiki Odos), a modern motorway extending along 65 km, constitutes the ring road of the greater metropolitan area of Athens and the main road network of the Attica Prefecture with over 4.5 million inhabitants. ... -
Growth and environmental pollution: Empirical evidence from China
(2011)Purpose - The rapid economic growth of China has attracted the attention of economists, researchers and politicians. China is one of the largest economies in the world, with its gross domestic product (GDP) rising on an ... -
Health impacts due to particulate air pollution in Volos City, Greece
(2016)There is great consensus among the scientific community that suspended particulate matter is considered as one of the most harmful pollutants, particularly the inhalable particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less ... -
Influence of Zeolite and Posidonia oceanica (L.) in the Reduction of Heavy Metal Uptake by Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Plants of Central Greece
(2017)In two soils from Central Greece, a pot experiment was conducted with the addition of mixture at various ratios of zeolite and compost (based on Posidonia oceanica (L.) leaves) applied at a rate of 5% w/w (calculated on a ... -
A photopollution index based on weighted cumulative visibility to night lights
(2018)A method is presented to estimate photopollution (a.k.a night-lights pollution) in a macroscopic manner, i.e.That can be applied globally, using open-domain data. Photopollution has two components, direct illumination and ... -
Population, economic growth and regional environmental inefficiency: Evidence from U.S. states
(2015)We apply a conditional directional distance function allowing multiple exogenous factors to measure environmental performance. We evaluate the air pollution performance levels of U.S. states for the years 1998 and 2008. ... -
