Lille, SAGE – CERI Energy & Environment, 59000 Lille, France 4Department of Environment, Energy & Civil Protection, Municipality of Keratsini-Drapetsona, 18756 Keratsini, Greece VOCs are key atmospheric constituents for both health and climate issues and further knowledge is still needed about their sources and fate. The presence of volatile organic compounds in ambient air is strongly dependent on the site characteristics and a harbor area undergoes many source typologies such as road transport, ship emissions and contaminants of commercial activities, the shipbuilding zone and other operating facilities. The current work was implemented at the recently established Atmospheric Pollution Monitoring Station of the Municipality of Keratsini-Drapetsona located in the close vicinity of the Piraeus port. Since December 2018 an automatic gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector (FID) continuously monitors at a 30 minutes time resolution non methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) focusing on hazardous compounds (aromatics) and strong precursors (aromatics, monoterpenes) of secondary pollutants like ozone and secondary organic aerosols. High levels of benzene were observed, especially during the morning to noon period, and the mean concentration of both benzene and toluene were two- folded in summer (July and August 2019) compared to winter (January and February 2019). Ethylbenzene follows the same pattern, whereas xylenes presented comparable levels during the cold and warm periods. Preliminary results based on source apportionment techniques are presented. In general terms the NMHC levels present their maximum under the impact of low wind speed, addressing thus the role of local emission sources, which are further investigated by the ratios used as tracking tools of processes of different origin (e.g. the traffic related ratio of toluene/benzene).

  • Presumed Large-Scale Exploitation and Marketing of Protected Marine Shelled Molluscs (Greece)
    Strasbourg, 11 September 2020 T-PVS/Files(2020)5 [files05e_2020.docx] CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HABITATS Standing Committee 40th meeting Strasbourg, 1-4 December 2020 __________ Complaints on stand-by Presumed large-scale exploitation and marketing of protected marine shelled molluscs (Greece) - REPORT BY THE COMPLAINANT - Document prepared by the University of the Aegean This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. Ce document ne sera plus distribué en réunion. Prière de vous munir de cet exemplaire. T-PVS/Files(2020)5 2 - August 2020 – The situation remains the same since our previous report. Nevertheless, instead of a report, I would like to submit a recently published paper by Italian colleagues (attached), which studied the illegal date mussel fishery in the Mediterranean, and highlighted that Greece is the 'champion' of poaching (see e.g. Fig. 6). I have to notice that my complaint, which dates back to 2014, has not led so far to any effective measures by Greece to confront the issue. The stated actions by the government remain ineffective (e.g. public awareness through an e-leaflet in the ministry's webpage with low outreach) or a 'wish list' (e.g. the enhancement of controls). Since the destructive date mussel fishery remains and the pressure on coastal ecosystems increases, I would like to ask you for more drastic actions and pressure on the Greek government. Sincerely, Prof. Stelios Katsanevakis, PhD University of the Aegean Department of Marine Sciences
