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 ...
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 ...
Source Apportionment of PM10 and Health Risk Assessment Related in a Narrow Tropical Valley. Study Case: Metropolitan Area of Aburrá Valley (Colombia)
(Springer, 2023-04-05)
[Abstract] This study investigates spatio-temporal variations of PM10 mass concentrations and associated metal(oid)s, δ13C carbon isotope ratios, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total organic carbon (TOC) and ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Analysis in Tea Infusions and Tea Beverages Using Membrane Assisted Solvent Extraction
(Elsevier, 2021-04-16)
[Abstract] Membrane Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE) was applied as an extraction and enrichment technique of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from tea infusions and fruit/herbal-tea beverages. PAHs have been ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
