•The Municipality of Thessaloniki has installed batch and free
weather balloons system, to the height measurement of
temperature, relative humidity, speed and wind direction and
ozone concentrations. The correlation of these measurements
with those of the Municipal Network (air pollution and
meteorological data) give a more immediate picture of the
distribution of the overall load of air pollution in the region, and
the influence of local meteorological phenomena in the
formation of these levels above the urban area of Thessaloniki.
 Free Weather balloons
can provide important
information on the
stratospheric ozone layer
over the region of
Thessaloniki.

Noise Pollution - Actions
Thessaloniki GREECE

The Department of Forestry & Natural
Environment of the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki has made a significant research
on the fight against noise pollution by using
plants.
Combination of vegetation and sound barriers
produce the excellent results possible
(reduction from 10 - 15 dB). Βut for this
purpose the vegetation should be planted in
front of the sound barriers.
Thessaloniki GREECE

According to a research by the Mayoralty
Environment of the Municipality of
Thessaloniki 18 of the 24 schools in the areas
surveyed said they have a noise problem that
comes from the noise of passing cars and
motorcycles and constructions on their
surroundings.
Proposed measures: the change of frames,
the installation of double glazed windows and
appropriate anti-noise materials in
classrooms.

Introduction
• The Problem:
• Electromagnetic pollution is one kind of environmental
pollution.
• You can imagine it like a smog composed of many kinds of
electromagnetic waves. For this reason is used the term
“electromagnetic smog” (αιθαλομίχλη) or “electrosmog”.
• Is the result of
electromagnetic excess of
the environmental
electromagnetic background
that the electromagnetic
waves radiated from many
different technological
products. October 2011, 3rd Gymnasium Charilaou

 power transmission lines,
 home electric devices,
 any kind or wireless
network,
 any kind of radar etc.
including:
 cell phones,
 cell telephony,
 base station
antennas,
 PCs,
 routers and so many
other.
 Non-ionizing radiation is produced by different kind of
sources which exist at home, at work or outside i.e.

Cell Phones Radiation
 you see a "classic" FDTD simulation of electromagnetic
absorption inside a model “human head” made by a
composite material for a mobile phone working at 915 MHz
with power 1 W (SAR is the Specific Absorption Rate to
electromagnetic radiation).
 The most important of non-ionizing radiation is the increase of
temperature to the application area it acts i.e. human body or
even the environment itself.

 High power transmission lines – MV
There is a lot of questioning worldwide about what are the biological effects of
electrosmog produced by the high power transmission lines and what the
minimum safety distance of pylons from houses is.
In some countries, i.e. in Greece, the safety distance is limited to 300 m. The
magnetic field found at 300 m is 4420 A/m. This values is much larger than
the safety limit of 500 A/m.

sources
 A common microwave oven is
made basically by a magnetron
source (2.45 GHz), a stirrer, a
cooking cavity, and a control
system. In the picture on the left,
the structure of a microwave
furnace is presented.
 Microwaves are produced from
the magnetron source and
propagate with waveguides inside
the cooking cavity. These
microwaves are absorbed from
the water, which exists inside the
food and they heat it.
 The metallic parts of the cavity act
as reflectors of the microwaves.
The stirrer is used to homogenize
spatially the power distribution of
microwaves inside the furnace.

sources
This kind of lamps has in real higher light
efficacy than the older ones which use
heating coil, but they have other problems.
They behave like plasma antennas and
radiate except visible light an extra
electromagnetic radiation at frequency 10 -
20 kHz.

by citizens
 The citizens of Greece, try to buy cell phones
and other gadgets, which are not producing a
lot of radiation pollution.
 For that, they need to ask for the ‘SAR

electromagnetic pollution
should not be seen as a war
between environmentalists
and companies or health
organizations but as a chance
to improve the quality of life
by using new better designed
and more sophisticated
technological products.
 It is a good chance to rebuild

Waste
management
Thessaloniki GREECE

Thessaloniki GREECE

 Most of what we throw away is either burnt in
incinerators, or dumped into landfill sites (67%). But
both these methods create environmental damage.
 Land filling not only takes up more and more valuable
land space, it also causes air, water and soil pollution,
discharging carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)
into the atmosphere and chemicals and pesticides into
the earth and groundwater.
Thessaloniki GREECE
Introduction

 Large household Items (refrigerators, washing machines etc), small
appliances that make our lives more comfortable (airconditioners,
lighting equipment, telecommunication devices, etc.), audio and
video products, computer equipment, electrical and electronic tools
and toys, medical devices, monitoring and control vending devices,
and fluorescent lamps.
Thessaloniki GREECE
Introduction

 The problem of recycling is
a vital problem for the city
of Thessaloniki
 The environment has
borne so much that in a
few years will be very
difficult to reverse the
situation. Our goal
should be to go to
Landfill (landfill) very
small percentage of
waste, after recycling
and incineration.
Thessaloniki GREECE
The problem in
Thessaloniki

 In Thessaloniki
operates Waste
Transfer Station to the
terminus of all waste in
the city. Its capacity is
900 tons of waste a day
with three compactors,
which can be increased
to 1,200 tons a day if
constructed and the
fourth pressing for
which no infrastructure.

Waste Management -
Actions

Thessaloniki GREECE
 The municipality of
Thessaloniki placed
10,000 bins and 600
bins for recycling.
 The management of
bins is a hard task and
thus in European cities
the bins don’t belong to
the municipalities, but
to the citizens,who are
responsible for them. It
is time to institute
spaces of placing the
bins in every newly-built
building.
Waste Management -
Actions

 Paper and other packing
materials are being
collected from from 5,680
fixed points.
 The Municipality of
Thessaloniki has set a
high priority program for
recycling paper, aluminum
and plastic in bins placed
in many locations.
 With one call the
municipality comes and
gets large electrical
appliances for recycling

 A former landfill area of 60
acres transformed into an
oasis in Oreokastro in
Thessaloniki, according to
the newspaper "Ethnos".
A few years ago, in this
area were tons of garbage
and unbearable stench.
 Now grow more than 3.000
trees and there is a small
lake that is the habitat of
ducks and birds

 This is a key factor in any waste management
strategy:
If we can reduce the amount of generated waste in the
first place and reduce its hazardousness by reducing
the presence of dangerous substances in products,
then disposing of it will automatically become simpler.
Waste prevention is closely linked with improving
manufacturing methods and influencing consumers to
demand greener products and less packaging.

 Prevention is the best
treatment in the case of
the forest of Sheikh Sou.
Civil Protection, Fire
Brigade and 30 voluntary
organizations ,have
initiated contacts for the
first plans before the
summer arrives.
