Pro-Ecological Transport Solutions "Diversity In Europe – a common voice for a sustainable development" Pro-ecological Transport Solutions ATHENS – GREECE Pro-ecological Transport Solutions in Chaidari, Athens Pro-ecological Transport Solutions Greece THE MAIN SOURCES OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION IN CHAIDARI-ATHENS Climate change has happened in the past but never at this rate. Current rates of change are faster than the time required for species to counter-evolve. Greece is considered a Mediterranean "hot spot" because it's so vulnerable to climate change. One top scientist warns if the country's greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced, the country will experience even more extreme weather-related events. In the last few years Greece has suffered from drought, heat waves, fires and floods. A study from National Observatory shows if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, it will cause temperatures to increase as much as 7 degrees by 2071. This will severely affect water levels. In the last 20 years rainfall has decreased 20 percent, and Greece has experienced drought for the last two years. Athens produces more "greenhouse gases" per person than cities like Paris, London and Beijing, and emissions of the Greek capital almost equivalent to those of New York! – "The forest is a mediator of better environmental conditions when it exists and worsening of the situation when it disappears." Since 1990 greenhouse gas emissions have risen 25 percent in Greece. The interest in renewable energy projects in Greece has been high. But going green has been held back until now because of bureaucratic procedures for companies in a country rich in natural resources. 3 Pro-ecological Transport Solutions Greece POLLUTION AND NOISE IN CHAIDARI- A FIRST APPROACH The main anthropogenic sources of pollutants emitted to the air are: vehicles industry heating home consumption The primary pollutants are: CO NO SO2 hydrocarbons The secondary pollutant are : NO2 O3 In summary, the problems of our place are: 1. Raise of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the period 1993-1999 up to 17%. 2. Enormous raise of population in Athens (1/3 of Greeks are leaving in Athens) 3. Minimization of Vegetation - Free space (Athens: 2,55 m2 per inhabitant rest European countries: 8 ~ 10 m2) st 4. Enormous concentrations of ozone (O3) (1 in Europe). 5. Large volume of vehicles on incomplete network traffic - National road 6. Chaidari proximate to the industrial area of Eleusis. 7. Geographical configuration of Chaidari (narrow entrance to Athens) The municipality of Haidari, as shown by the map is degraded on air pollution and noise around the wider city. This region presents particular problems partly because of its proximity to the industrial area of Eleusis and secondly because of the existence of a large part of the road linking the capital area to the western regions Attica and the Peloponnese. These sources of pollution and contribute significantly to the burden of the atmosphere in the Municipality of Haidari. Another important topographic feature of the area is the communication channel from Dafni to Eleusis, through which it can transfer and diffusion of a 4 Pro-ecological Transport Solutions Greece large number of pollutants from industrial sites of Eleusis to the area of Chaidari. The map of the area shows the location of scenic peaks of Mount Egaleo as well as the opening(the arrow) through which it can transport pollutants Our country has legislated for the pollutants sulfur dioxide(SO2), smoke, nitrogen dioxide(NO2), Lead (Pb) and ozone (O3) air quality limits, based on relevant directives established in European Union Table : Limits of emergency measures.

Cooperation with the environmental association OIKOPOLIS in common action as cycling, walking, sharing knowledge, ideas and dreams. F. Organized painting exhibition about climate change with prises. All the students, parents, teachers have the opportunity to vote for the winners. 13 Pro-ecological Transport Solutions Greece G. Participation in the programme “The power of ten” http://thepoweroften.gr for reducing school’s energy British Council's Climate Advocates are organizing an innovative educational programme in 10 schools in central Athens which aims to encourage students to reduce their school’s energy consumption by 10% in 10 weeks!. It is pulling out all the stops to cut 10% of their emissions within a year, helping them save on energy and bringing the issue to life in the classroom. With climate change, everyone talks about long-term targets: Britain, for example, has committed to an 80% cut by 2050, and at least 34% by 2020. But scientists say it won’t be possible to meet these targets without the right action now – and that means cuts of around 10% in the very near future.

    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

  • Meeting the Water Needs in Ancient Piraeus Excavation and Interdisciplinary Research During the Extension of the Metropolitan Railway
    MEETING THE WATER NEEDS IN ANCIENT PIRAEUS EXCAVATION AND INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH DURING THE EXTENSION OF THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY A lecture at the Swedish Institute at Athens, Mitseon 9, June 10, 2019, 19.00 by Panagiotis Koutis, Archaeologist Giorgos Peppas, Archaeologist Emilio Bendermacher-Geroussis, Architect engineer Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and Islands, Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports The Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and the Islands has been supervising the project of Athens Metro "Extension of Line 3: Haidari-Piraeus part” since 2012. Underground structures for water supply of public and domestic buildings were revealed over time in the majority of rescue excavations that uncovered parts of the urban grid of ancient Piraeus. Bibliographic study and survey of archived material traced 350 excavated sites containing more than 720 cisterns, wells and tunnels. Eight excavations under the Athens Metro project inside Piraeus has so far revealed 130 of these structures. Through multidisciplinary collaborations a set of hydrological and archaeological data is being studied, aiming to connect the development and management of the aforementioned constructions through time, with concurrent changes in residential development and water needs, and, also, the improvement of techniques and construction materials. A specific site, at P. Bakogianni Square, excavated for the construction of the entrance of “Municipal Theater” Station, can work as a reference and example for reconstructing and presenting features in the virtual environment. Much of the data collected comes from the interior of underground water constructions which, after the destruction 86 BC by Sulla, functioned as spaces for disposal. By deploying these enclosed contexts as data capsules, our research attempts to reconnect humans with the objects they used, placing them both in their historically defined social context.
