Artisanal ceramic factories using wood combustion: A nanoparticles and human health study
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
The ceramics industry, resulting from developments of modern compounds, is a segment of great influence in worldwide sustainability. Artisanal ceramic factories based on wood combustion have significant risks for the ...
Estimation of the impact of biomass burning based on regional transport of PM2.5 in the Colombian Caribbean
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
Deterioration of air quality due to the increase in atmospheric emissions from biomass burning (BB) is one of the major environmental problems worldwide. In this study, we estimated the contributions of BB to PM2.5 ...
Spatiotemporal assessment of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and ozone in a Caribbean urban coastal city
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
Air pollution has become a critical issue in urban areas, so a broad understanding of its spatiotemporal characteristics is important to develop public policies. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal variation of atmospheric ...
Nanoparticles as vectors of other contaminants in estuarine suspended sediments: Natural and real conditions
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso restringido
Studding 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 ...
Comparative carbon emission assessments of recycled and natural aggregate concrete: Environmental influence of cement content
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
This work examines the environmental and geochemical impact of recycled aggregate concrete production with properties representative for structural applications. The environmental influence of cement content, aggregate ...
Nanoparticles in fossil and mineral fuel sectors and their impact on environment and human health: A review and perspective
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso restringido
Nanoscience 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 ...
Air pollutants and their degradation of a historic building in the largest metropolitan area in Latin America
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso restringido
Historic 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 ...
Geochemical study of submicron particulate matter (PM1) in a metropolitan area
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
Air 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 restringido
The 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 ...
