Ashtrays and Signage as Determinants of a Smoke-Free Legislation's Success
(2013)Introduction:Successful smoke-free legislation is dependent on political will, enforcement and societal support. We report the success and pitfalls of a non-enforced nationwide smoke-free legislation in Greece, as well as ... -
Effect of PM2.5 Levels on ED Visits for Respiratory Causes in a Greek Semi-Urban Area
(2022)Fine particulate matter that have a diameter of <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are an important factor of anthropogenic pollution since they are associated with the development of acute respiratory illnesses. The aim of this prospective ... -
Effect of PM2.5 levels on respiratory pediatric ed visits in a semi‐urban greek peninsula
(2021)Ambient air pollution accounts for an estimated 4.2 million deaths worldwide. Particulate matter (PM)2.5 particles are believed to be the most harmful, as when inhaled they can penetrate deep into the lungs. The aim of ... -

(2022)Over the years, many organizations across the globe have conducted various studies pertaining to air pollution and its ill effects. The results of these studies substantially conclude that a plethora of people succumbs to ... -
The health impact of Saharan dust exposure
(2019)Air pollution is a high priority global health concern. The health damaging effects of ambient particulate matter (PM), a component of air pollution, are extensively documented, with 1.4% of deaths worldwide resulting from ... -
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 ... -
The impact of the lockdown caused by the covid-19 pandemic on the fine particulate matter (Pm2.5) air pollution: The greek paradigm
(2021)Introduction: Responding to the coronavirus pandemic, Greece implemented the largest quarantine in its history. No data exist regarding its impact on PM2.5 pollution. We aimed to assess PM2.5 levels before, during, and ... -
MacroDevelopment of an assay to assess genotoxicity by particulate matter extract
(2017)The current study describes a method for assessing the oxidative potential of common environmental stressors (ambient air particulate matter), using a plasmid relaxation assay where the extract caused single-strand breaks, ... -
Pm2.5 pollution strongly predicted covid-19 incidence in four high-polluted urbanized italian cities during the pre-lockdown and lockdown periods
(2021)Background: The coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) heavily hit Italy, one of Europe’s most polluted countries. The extent to which PM pollution contributed to COVID-19 diffusion is needing further clarification. We ... -
Source apportionment of PM10 and PM2.5 in major urban Greek agglomerations using a hybrid source-receptor modeling process
(2017)A hybrid source-receptor modeling process was assembled, to apportion and infer source locations of PM10 and PM2.5 in three heavily-impacted urban areas of Greece, during the warm period of 2011, and the cold period of ... -

Study of water renewal and sedimentation of a square harbor encapsulated in a coastal front with seawalls due to wind-induced hydrodynamic circulation
(2021)In the current study in the middle of a coastal zone, a harbor basin in the form of a square area recessed to the front is considered. A breakwater of variable length and position offers protection from waves. The water ... -
Study on particulate matter air pollution, source origin, and human health risk based of PM10 metal content in Volos City, Greece
(2017)Investigations on the fluctuation in PM10 air pollution in Volos, a medium-sized industrialized port city in the Mediterranean, are presented for the 5-year period between 2009 and 2014. The levels detected have been ...
