Services

The Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory offers the following services (among others)

-Isokinetic sampling of aerosol and gases from stacks under regulation 2000/76/EC

-Particulate matter PM10 measurements conducted according to EN 12341 (Accreditation Cert. No 447)  

-Measurements of the size distribution and physical properties of aerosol particles in the atmosphere and industrial work environments

Accountabilities

Since 2003 that I've been working for the National Center of Scientific Research ''DEMOKRITOS'' in Athens, I have processed aethalometer data from Zeppelin station in the Arctic, combined with air ass trajectory data from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), deducted source regions that mainly contributed to Black Carbon in Zeppelin and projected the results on a world map using MATLAB (Potential Source Contribution Factor analysis). I have processed SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer) size distribution data from the Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory station in Athens, Greece and i deducted the modes of the distribution using MATLAB. I have been responsible for the function and database of the above mentioned station (ACTRIS-EUSAAR associate) where there are on permanent basis the following instruments:

1. SMPS

2. 3 WAVELENGTH NEPHELOMETER AURORA 3000

3. Elemental Carbon /Organic Carbon online instrument (sunset lab)

4. Optical particle counter Grimm Envirocheck model 107

5. AE-31 7 wavelength aethalometer

6. Mie PDR1200

7. PM2.5 Quartz filter (Gravimetric)

8. Relative Humidity and Temperature sensors, data acquired with LABVIEW

I am responsible for the Aethalometer and SMPS data reported to EBAS database.

During my work Ι have been conducting measurements and data analysis of size distribution and physical properties of aerosol particles in the atmosphere and industrial work environments during European Union and Greek Government or Municipal projects. I supervised and participated in isokinetic sampling of effluent gases from industrial stack emissions for a wood processing company, a tobacco company and a hospital’s waste incinerator.

I am the Quality manager of the Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory of NCSR Demokritos for PM10 measurements conducted according to EN 12341.
