Acute exposure to C60 fullerene damages pulmonary mitochondrial function and mechanics
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)Acceso restringidoC60 fullerene (C60) nanoparticles, a nanomaterial widely used in technology, can offer risks to humans, overcome biological barriers, and deposit onto the lungs. However, data on its putative pulmonary burden are scanty. ... -
Air pollutants and their degradation of a historic building in the largest metropolitan area in Latin America
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoHistoric buildings that comprise the cultural heritage of humanity are in need of preservation on a worldwide scale in regard to degradation resultant from atmospheric pollutants. The Brazilian Public Market, located in ... -
Composite carbon materials from winery composted waste for the treatment of effluents contaminated with ketoprofen and 2-nitrophenol
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoThe present work consisted of preparing and characterizing composite carbon materials (WRCC) from raw winery residues (WR) activated with zinc chloride to produce a carbon adsorbent. The WRCC was used for the adsorption ... -
Development of highly porous activated carbon from Jacaranda mimosifolia seed pods for remarkable removal of aqueous-phase ketoprofen
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoIn this work, a high porous activated carbon from Jacaranda mimosifolia was developed and employed for ketoprofen adsorption. After the pyrolysis process at 973.15 K, the material presented cavities with different sizes ... -
Environmental aspects of the depreciation of the culturally significant Wall of Cartagena de Indias – Colombia
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoAmong the diverse archeological relics of the past, the Cartagena de Indias Wall is one of the greatest representations of European cultural architecture in South America. To assess the implication of contamination on the ... -
Geochemical study of submicron particulate matter (PM1) in a metropolitan area
(Elsevier, 2022)Acceso abiertoAir pollution has become a major problem in urban areas due to increasing industrialization and urbanization. In this study ambient concentrations of PM1 and metal concentrations as well as source contributions were ... -
Identification of hazardous nanoparticles present in the Caribbean Sea for the allocation of future preservation projects
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoThe deposition of remaining nanoparticles in the Caribbean Sea generates the formation of potentially dangerous elements, which influence at the imbalance of ecosystems. The detection of nanoparticles is not simple and the ... -
Incidence of lung cancer and mortality among civil construction industry workers: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2021)Acceso abiertoBackground The construction sector is one of the most stable growth industries in the world. However, many studies have suggested an association between occupational exposure in civil construction and lung cancer risk. ... -
Metal-enriched nanoparticles and black carbon: A perspective from the Brazil railway system air pollution
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso abiertoHaving a better understanding of air pollutants in railway systems is crucial to ensure a clean public transport. This study measured, for the first time in Brazil, nanoparticles (NPs) and black carbon (BC) on two ground-level ... -
Nanoparticles and interfaces with toxic elements in fluvial suspended sediment
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoStudies examining nanoparticles (NPs) and hazardous elements (HEs) contained in suspended sediments (SSs) are vital for watershed administration and ecological impact evaluation. The biochemical consequence of titanium-n ... -
Nanoparticles as vectors of other contaminants in estuarine suspended sediments: Natural and real conditions
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoStudding the behaviour and danger of nanoparticles (NPs, minerals and amorphous phases) in the estuarine ecosystem is presently incomplete by the lack of measureable description of NPs in the ecological conditions, such ... -
Nanoparticles in fossil and mineral fuel sectors and their impact on environment and human health: A review and perspective
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoNanoscience and technology have enabled better insights into the environmental and health impacts arising from the mining, production and use of fossil and mineral fuels. Here we provide an overview of the nanoscience-based ... -
Sustainable Release of Macronutrients to Black Oat and Maize Crops from Organically-Altered Dacite Rock Powder
(Springer, 2021)Acceso restringidoBy-products from the dairy industry and mining activities represent a great environmental overload, which justify research for value-added reuse of these by-products (dairy sludge and dacite rock powder). Dairy sludge is ...
