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 ...
Multiple relationships between aerosol and COVID-19: A framework for global studies
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is a severe respiratory syndrome currently causing a human global pandemic. The original virus, along with newer variants, is highly transmissible. Aerosols are a multiphase system ...
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 ...
Environmental aspects of the depreciation of the culturally significant Wall of Cartagena de Indias – Colombia
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso restringido
Among 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 ...
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 ...
Nanoparticles and interfaces with toxic elements in fluvial suspended sediment
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso restringido
Studies 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 ...
