Estimation of the impact of biomass burning based on regional transport of PM2.5 in the Colombian Caribbean
(Elsevier, 2022)
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 ...
Geochemical study of submicron particulate matter (PM1) in a metropolitan area
(Elsevier, 2022)
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 ...
Source identification and global implications of black carbon
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Black carbon (BC) is one of the short-lived air pollutants that contributes significantly to aerosol radiative forcing and global climate change. It is emitted by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and ...
Spatiotemporal assessment of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and ozone in a Caribbean urban coastal city
(Elsevier, 2022)
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 ...
Metal-enriched nanoparticles and black carbon: A perspective from the Brazil railway system air pollution
(Elsevier, 2021)
Acceso abierto
Having 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 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 ...
Nitrogen and metal pollution in the southern Caspian Sea: a multiple approach to bioassessment
(Springer, 2021)
Acceso abierto
The Caspian Sea hosts areas of high ecological value as well as industrial, leisure, and agricultural activities that dump into the water body different kinds of pollutants. In this complex context, a proper description ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
