Evolution of Gaseous and Particulate Pollutants in the Air: What Changed after Five Lockdown Weeks at a Southwest Atlantic European Region (Northwest of Spain) Due to the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic?
(MDPI, 2021-04-27)
[Abstract] Due to the exponential growth of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Spain (2020), the Spanish Government adopted lockdown measures as mitigating strategies to reduce the spread of the pandemic from 14 March. In this ...
Fast Quality Control of Natural Gas for Commercial Supply and Transport Utilities
(Elsevier, 2021-07-28)
[Abstract] Quality control of natural gas frequently relies on off-line slow standardized chromatographic techniques. Previous implementations of new measurement approaches focused of synthetic mixtures without extensive ...
New Ways for the Advanced Quality Control of Liquefied Natural Gas
(MDPI, 2022-01-04)
[Abstract] Currently, gas chromatography is the most common analytical technique for natural gas (NG) analysis as it offers very precise results, with very low limits of detection and quantification. However, it has several ...
Development of a Fast and Efficient Method to Analyze Microplastics in Planktonic Samples
(Elsevier, 2021-04-22)
[Abstract] Microplastics (MPs) affect plankton (a basis of the trophic chain) and planktivorous fish can ingest them through food confusion or by trophic transmission. Consensus to determine MPs in plankton is lacking and, ...
Phthalates, Organotin Compounds and Per-Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Semiconfined Areas of the Spanish Coast: Occurrence, Sources and Risk Assessment
(Elsevier, 2021-03-14)
[Abstract] In this work two sensitive areas of the Spanish coast located in the Atlantic (Ria de Vigo) and Mediterranean (Mar Menor lagoon) have been studied regarding their contamination by phthalates, organotin compounds ...
Oral Bioavailability Reveals an Overestimation of the Toxicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Atmospheric Particulate Matter
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-19)
[Abstract] Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric particulate matter have adverse effects on human health, yet total PAH concentrations should overestimate the toxicity compared to the bioavailable amount ...
Identification of Distinct and Common Subpopulations of Myxoid Liposarcoma and Ewing Sarcoma Cells Using Self-Organizing Maps
(MDPI, 2023-01-14)
[Abstract] Myxoid liposarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the two most common tumor types that are characterized by the FET (FUS, EWSR1 and TAF15) fusion oncogenes. These FET fusion oncogenes are considered to have the same ...
Filtration of Biopolymer PHB Particles Loaded With Synthetic Musks Does Not Cause Significant Bioaccumulation in Marine Mussels
(Elsevier, 2023-03-03)
[Abstract] The role of the biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB, <250 µm) as a vehicle of a synthetic musks mixture (celestolide, galaxolide, tonalide, musk xylene, musk moskene and musk ketone) to Mytilus galloprovincialis ...
Adsorption of Pesticides and Personal Care Products on Pristine and Weathered Microplastics in the Marine Environment. Comparison Between Bio-Based and Conventional Plastics
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The hydrophobicity of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) makes them adsorb on microplastics in the marine environment, affecting their distribution, persistence, or their transfer to the trophic chain. Fragrances ...
In-Vitro Inhalation Bioavailability Estimation of Metal(Oid)S in Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Using Simulated Alveolar Lysosomal Fluid: A Dialyzability Approach
(Elsevier, 2022-12-05)
[Abstract] A novel in-vitro method, by using synthetic body fluids, human physiological conditions and a simulated air-blood barrier (by using a dialysis membrane) has been developed and applied to assess in-vitro inhalation ...
