MAVROULIS, S., MAVROULI, M., LEKKAS, E., TSAKRIS, A. (2017). – Impact of earthquakes and their secondary environmental effects on public health. Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 19, EGU2017-3884, EGU General Assembly 2017.

Earthquakes are among the most impressive geological processes with destructive effects on humans, nature  and infrastructures. Secondary earthquake environmental effects (EEE) are induced by the ground shaking and are classified into ground cracks, slope movements, dust clouds, liquefactions, hydrological anomalies, tsunamis, trees shaking and jumping stones. Infectious diseases (ID) emerging during the post-earthquake period are  considered as secondary earthquake effects on public health.
