(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 ... -
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, ... -
Development of an Analytical Procedure to Analyze Microplastics in Edible Macroalgae Using an Enzymatic-Oxidative Digestion
(Elsevier, 2022-08-30)[Abstract] Besides being food and a refuge to marine species, macroalgae are a powerful and renewable economic resource. However, they may introduce microplastics (MPs) in the trophic chain. We developed a reliable analytical ... -
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Exposure on Human Glial Cells and Zebrafish Embryos
(MDPI, 2023-08-01)[Abstract] Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are among the most widely used nanomaterials. They have multiple applications in cosmetics, textiles, paints, electronics and, recently, also in biomedicine. This extensive use ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
