Biophysical matter in a marine estuary identified by the Sentinel-3B OLCI satellite and the presence of terrestrial iron (Fe) nanoparticles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)The analysis of marine matter using the Sentinel-3B OLCI (Ocean Land Color Instrument) satellite is the most advanced technique for evaluating: the absorption of colored detrital and dissolved material (ADG_443_NN), total ... -
Dispersion of hazardous nanoparticles on beaches around phosphogypsum factories
(2021)Anthropogenic occurring nanoparticles (NPs) have been one of the principal catalytic components of marine pollution throughout its history. The phosphogypsum (PG) factories present environmental risks and evident marine ... -
Identification of metals and metalloids as hazardous elements in PM2.5 and PM10 collected in a coastal environment affected by diffuse contamination
(Universidad de la Costa, 2019-04-06)The nature of the PM2.5 and PM10 varies enormously depending on the anthropogenic activities developed in the surrounding environment. These particles can include Hazardous Elements (HEs), such as heavy metals, which can ... -
Nanominerals assemblages and hazardous elements assessment in phosphogypsum from an abandoned phosphate fertilizer industry
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020)The present work investigates hazardous elements and nanomineralogical assemblages of phosphogypsum waste from an abandoned phosphate fertilizer industry located in Santa Catarina state (Brazil). Correlations between the ... -
Nanoparticles containing hazardous elements and the spatial optics of the Sentinel-3B OLCI satellite in Amazonian rivers: a potential tool to understand environmental impacts
(Springer Science + Business MediaGermany, 2023-05-17)The Amazon River is the longest river in the world. The Tapajós River is a tributary to the Amazon. At their junction, a marked decrease in water quality is evident from negative impacts from the constant activity of ... -
Nanoparticles from construction wastes: A problem to health and the environment
(Universidad de la Costa, 2019-02-08)The present study deals with the nano-mineralogy and geochemistry of ultrafine particles in construction waste from the Porto Alegre region in Southern Brazil. Uncontrolled construction waste dumps and poor management ... -
PM10 spatial distribution and metals speciation study in the Bilbao metropolitan area during the 2017–2018 period
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020)Speciation of respirable particles is becoming increasingly important from an epidemiological and analytical point of view to determine the potential effects of air pollution on human health. For this reason, current laws ... -
A rapid routine methodology based on chemometrics to evaluate the toxicity of commercial infant milks due to hazardous elements
(United States, 2022-04-12)The toxicity and the health risk assessment associated to the presence of some hazardous elements (HEs) in dried (infant formula and powdered) milks due to manufacturing and packaging process, raw materials used, environmental ... -
Titanium nanoparticles in sedimented dust aggregates from urban children’s parks around coal ashes wastes
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)Recently, an increased interest in nanoscience applications can be observed in various fields. Soils around coal power plants may contain potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) and nanoparticles (NPs), which can be neo-produced ...
