Earlier this month, Europe's Environment Agency (EEA) issued a report on the state of the Mediterranean and warned that the sea is becoming ever more polluted as a result of human activity and the unwillingness of administrations to enforce existing environmental legislation (for EU states) or come up with adequate eco-laws (in non-member countries).
Elefsis, an important place of worship for Athenians in antiquity, is today Greece's main industrial hub, hosting more than a thousand industries, including shipyards, iron, steel, cement and detergent factories as well as petroleum refineries.
However, if the wider Elefsis area is to overcome its environmental problems, plan a bright future for itself and serve as a model for other areas, the central government will also have to contribute by implementing the country's hazardous waste laws.

Other regions where air pollution has become an important problem are the industrial zone of Elefsis (near Athens) and the zones of Ptolemais (in Macedonia) and Megalopoli (in Peloponesos), where the main power plants of the country that use lignite as a fuel are located.
The most important and best-studied coastal areas are those of the Saronikos Gulf and the Gulf of Elefsis (near Athens) and the Thermaikos Gulf (near Thessaloniki); both areas are semi-enclosed systems that are influenced by pollution activities and have relatively weak currents.
The Saronikos Gulf is considered to be among the most polluted Greek gulfs, and the Gulf of Elefsis is the most eutrophic area in the whole Saronikos region because nutrients are also released from sediments in anoxic periods.
