Evangelos Bakeas

Professor Evangelos Bakeas serves as a Professor in Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. His research focuses on environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), trace elements, and organic aerosols, with emphasis on their occurrence, distribution, and health impacts in urban, marine, and industrial settings. He has extensively studied pollution sources including wildfires, vehicle emissions, and port activities, employing advanced analytical techniques for environmental monitoring.

Key research areas include atmospheric chemistry, marine surface microlayer dynamics, and the application of biomarkers in human health studies. His work integrates environmental science with public health implications, addressing pollution's effects on cardiovascular health and cancer risks. He has contributed to policy-relevant studies on emission costs and air quality management in urban environments like Athens and the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Professor Bakeas has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on interdisciplinary approaches to pollution assessment. His research spans experimental and analytical methods, including catalyst development for sustainable chemistry and innovative sampling techniques for atmospheric and aquatic pollutants.
