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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development and Validation of a Multi-Pollutant Method for the Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Synthetic Musk Compounds and Plasticizers in Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM₂.₅)
(Elsevier, 2021-07-18)
[Abstract] Exposure to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) associated pollutants is a global concern due to the risk posed in human health after inhalation. In this study, a simple and sensitive multi-residue method is ...
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 ...
On the Influence of VOCs on New Particle Growth in a Continental-Mediterranean Region
(IOP Sciencie, 2022-12-30)
[Abstract] A field campaign has been performed in the Madrid region to study the VOC influence in the growth of new particles in ambient air. A number of instruments have been deployed to characterize the main pollutant ...
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 ...
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 ...
Levels and Sources of Atmospheric Particle-Bound Mercury in Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM₁₀) at Several Sites of an Atlantic Coastal European Region
(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 ...
