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 ...
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 ...
A Reliable Method for the Isolation and Characterization of Microplastics in Fish Gastrointestinal Tracts Using an Infrared Tunable Quantum Cascade Laser System
(Elsevier, 2022-03-26)
[Abstract] Societal and environmental concern due to frequent reports of microplastics in fish stomachs raised as they may accumulate along the trophic chain. The request for analysing microplastics in fish stresses two ...
Inhalation Bioaccessibility of Multi-Class Organic Pollutants Associated to Atmospheric PM2.5: Correlation with PM2.5 Properties and Health Risk Assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-06-07)
[Abstract] Inhalation exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) represents a global concern due to the adverse effects in human health. In the last years, scientific community has been adopted the assessment of the ...
Misidentification of PVC Microplastics in Marine Environmental Samples
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)
[Abstract] Poly(vinylchloride), PVC, is the third most demanded polymer in Europe although its presence in marine ecosystems, surprisingly, is scarcely observed. This does not reflect neither its production nor its widespread ...
Mixed-Mode Chromatography of Mixed Functionalized Analytes as the Homologues of Benzalkonium Chloride. Application to Pharmaceutical Formulations
(Elsevier, 2022-12-30)
[Abstract] In this work, a retention behavior based on mixed-mode reversed-phase (RP)/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was observed for benzalkonium chloride (BAK) using a core-shell column functionalized ...
Multi-Class Organic Pollutants in Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM2.5) From a Southwestern Europe Industrial Area: Levels, Sources and Human Health Risk
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
[Abstract] The occurrence of 50 multi-class pollutants comprising 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 12 phthalate esters (PAEs), 12 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), 6 synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) and ...
