Reliable Methods for Determination of Triazine Herbicides and Their Degradation Products in Seawater and Marine Sediments Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-04)
[Abstract] Triazines and their degradation products are transported to the aquatic environment, and once there, the probability to reach the marine environment is very high. In this paper, solid phase extraction (SPE) and ...
Comparative Study of Atmospheric Water-Soluble Organic Aerosols Composition in Contrasting Suburban Environments in the Iberian Peninsula Coast
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
[Abstract] This study investigates the structural composition and major sources of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) from PM2.5 collected, in parallel, during summer and winter, in two contrasting suburban sites at Iberian ...
PAHs, Pesticides, Personal Care Products and Plastic Additives in Plastic Debris From Spanish Mediterranean Beaches
(Elsevier, 2019-06-20)
[Abstract] In this study the role of plastic debris as a pollution vector has been evaluated by determining the concentrations of hydrophobic organic contaminants in polymers from three Western Mediterranean coastal areas ...
Occurrence and Size Distribution Study of Microplastics in Household Water From Different Cities in Continental Spain and the Canary Islands
(Elsevier, 2023-05-06)
[Abstract] The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in drinking water in Spain by comparing tap water from different locations using common sampling and identification procedures. ...
The Occurrence and Distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Bisphenol a and Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Indoor Dust and Soils From Public Open Spaces: Implications for Human Exposure
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
[Abstract] Global concern exists regarding human exposure to organic pollutants derived from public open spaces and indoor dust. This study has evaluated the occurrence of 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 11 ...
Standardization of the Minimum Information for Publication of Infrared-Related Data When Microplastics Are Characterized
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
[Abstract] Infrared spectrometry (IR) became a workhorse to characterize microplastics (MPs) worldwide. However, reports on the experimental conditions to measure them decreased alarmingly. As complete, relevant information ...
Gaseous and Speciated Particulate Emissions From the Open Burning of Wastes From Tree Pruning
(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 ...
Impact of Weathering on the Chemical Identification of Microplastics From Usual Packaging Polymers in the Marine Environment
(Elsevier, 2021-01-15)
[Abstract] Most of the plastics produced worldwide are finally disposed into the environment, most of them being one-use plastic packaging. Once released, plastics may undergone degradation through several agents, such as ...
A Simple Procedure to Select a Model for Mass Discrimination Correction in Isotope Dilution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-05)
[Abstract] A fast, simple and straightforward procedure to decide on the best model to calculate the mass
discrimination factor in Isotope Dilution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ID-ICP-MS) is
proposed. ...
Testing a Novel Biotechnological Passive Sampler for Monitoring Atmospheric Pah Pollution
(Elsevier, 2020-01-05)
[Abstract] In this study we evaluated a new type of passive air sampler, the “mossphere” device, filled with a Sphagnum palustre clone. For this purpose, we compared the atmospheric levels of polyaromatic hydrocarbons ...
