A Reliable Method to Determine Airborne Microplastics Using Quantum Cascade Laser Infrared Spectrometry
López-Rosales, Adrián; Ferreiro, Borja; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Fernández-Amado, María; González-Pleiter, Miguel; López-Mahía, P.; Rosal, Roberto; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2024-01-05)[Abstract] The number of studies dealing with airborne microplastics (MPs) is increasing but sampling and sample treatment are not standardized, yet. Here, a fast and reliable method to characterize MPs is presented. It ... -
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?
Moreda-Piñeiro, Jorge; Sánchez-Piñero, Joel; Fernández-Amado, María; Costa-Tomé, Paula; Gallego Fernández, Nuria; Piñeiro-Iglesias, M.; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (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 ... -
Gaseous and Speciated Particulate Emissions From the Open Burning of Wastes From Tree Pruning
Alves, Célia; Vicente, Estela D.; Evtyugina, Margarita; Vicente, Ana; Pio, Casimiro; Fernández-Amado, María; López-Mahía, P. (Elsevier, 2019-09-15)[Abstract] Open-air burning of wastes from tree pruning is a common practice in many regions worldwide. However, this practice degrades air quality and contributes to the greenhouse effect. Aiming at characterizing particle ... -
Intercomparison and characterization of 23 Aethalometers under laboratory and ambient air conditions: procedures and unit-to-unit variabilities
Cuesta-Mosquera, Andrea; Mocnik, Griša; Drinovec, Luka; Müller, Thomas; Pfeifer, Sascha; Minguillón, María Cruz; Briel, Björn; Buckley, Paul; Dudoitis, Vadimas; Fernández-García, Javier; Fernández-Amado, María; Brito, Joel F. de; Riffault, Veronique; Flentje, Harald; Heffernan, Eimear; Kalivitis, Nikos; Kalogridis, Athina-Cerise; Keernik, Hannes; Marmureanu, Luminita; Luoma, Krista; Marinoni, Angela; Pikridas, Michael; Schauer, Gerhard; Serfozo, Norbert; Servomaa, Henri; Titos Vela, Gloria; Yus-Díez, Jesús; Zioła, Natalia; Wiedensohler, Alfred (Copernicus Publications, 2021-04-30)[Abstract]: Aerosolized black carbon is monitored worldwide to quantify its impact on air quality and climate. Given its importance, measurements of black carbon mass concentrations must be conducted with instruments ... -
Levels and Sources of Atmospheric Particle-Bound Mercury in Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM₁₀) at Several Sites of an Atlantic Coastal European Region
Moreda-Piñeiro, Jorge; Rodríguez-Cabo, Adrián; Fernández-Amado, María; Piñeiro-Iglesias, M.; Muniategui, Soledad; López-Mahía, P. (MDPI, 2020-01)[Abstract] Atmospheric particle-bound mercury (PHg) quantification, at a pg m⁻³ level, has been assessed in particulate matter samples (PM₁₀) at several sites (industrial, urban and sub-urban sites) of Atlantic coastal ... -
Microextracción en fase sólida "in-tube" para el análisis de compuestos orgánicos en matrices atmosféricas
Fernández-Amado, María (2017)[Resumen] En esta Tesis Doctoral se han desarrollado metodologías analíticas para la determinación de tres grupos de compuestos orgánicos de gran interés medioambiental (hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos, ésteres ...
