Verification of Vulnerable Zones Identified Under the Nitrate Directive \ and Sensitive Areas Identified Under the Urban Waste W
CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) 1 1.2 THE NITRATES DIRECTIVE (91/676/EEC) 3 1.3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 4 2 THE OFFICIAL GREEK DESIGNATION PROCESS 9 2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION IN GREECE 9 2.2 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS 10 2.3 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF VULNERABLE ZONES 14 1 INTRODUCTION This report is a review of the areas designated as Sensitive Areas in conformity with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC and Vulnerable Zones in conformity with the Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC in Greece. The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge. -

Pešić: 30 January 2021 │ Published online 8 February 2021. Abstract The Lichadonisia island group is located between Maliakos and the North Evian Gulf, in central Greece. Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past. Herein, we present for the first time the land snail fauna of the islets and we compare their species richness with islands of similar size across the Aegean Sea. This group of small islands, provides a typical example on how human activities in the current geological era, i.e., the Anthropocene, alter the natural communities and differentiate biogeographical patterns. -

Areas “Affected” by Malaria in Greece 2019 Season, May 2019
1 Areas “affected” by malaria in Greece 2019 season, May 2019 The “Working Group (WG) for the designation of areas affected by vector-borne diseases” of the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Tropical Diseases of the Ministry of Health has convened and decided upon which areas should be designated as “affected”, following the recording of an introduced P.vivax malaria case (1st generation of transmission) in 2019. The WG of experts has carefully examined the following data: the total epidemiological data concerning malaria in Greece since 2009, the number and characteristics of all cases reported to the National Public Health Organization (N.P.H.O.) up to 24th May 2019, the characteristics of the population to which they correspond, and the geomorphological characteristics of the corresponding areas, the available entomological data for the years 2011-2019, especially for the area with the introduced case, and the literature concerning the flight range of mosquito vectors, especially Anopheles sacharovi, which is considered to be the main malaria vector in our country. According to the suggestion of European experts, an “affected area” is defined as falling within a radius of 2-6 km around the probable place of exposure of the locally acquired cases. In Greece, an affected area is usually defined by a radius of 6 km around the probable place of exposure. However, if this defined circle includes sections of large urban centres or cities (that cannot be easily divided) or if a smaller radius is deemed adequate (e.g. based on entomological data, history of cases in an area, geomorphology, etc.), the WG - following risk assessment – decides upon the exact designation of the affected area. -

Diplopoda) of Twelve Caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary
Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2013, 44(2): 99–106 Millipedes (Diplopoda) of twelve caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary D. ANGYAL & Z. KORSÓS Dorottya Angyal and Dr. Zoltán Korsós, Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13., E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Twelve caves of Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary were examined between September 2010 and April 2013 from the millipede (Diplopoda) faunistical point of view. Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well. The cave with the most diverse fauna was the Törökpince Sinkhole, while the two previously also investigated caves, the Abaligeti Cave and the Mánfai-kőlyuk Cave provided less species, which could be related to their advanced touristic and industrial utilization. Keywords. Diplopoda, Mecsek Mts., caves, faunistics INTRODUCTION proved to be rather widespread in the karstic regions of the former Yugoslavia (Mršić 1998, lthough more than 220 caves are known 1994, Ćurčić & Makarov 1998), the species was A from the Mecsek Mts., our knowledge on the not yet found in other Hungarian caves. invertebrate fauna of the caves in the region is rather poor.
