The grape industry, specifically the wine industry, is generating by-products rich in nutrients, which are underutilized and often end up being polluters of the environment. These byproducts are the bagasse, the stem and ...

The coastal zones on continental shelves are the main channels for the distribution of fluvial-sourced suspended sediments (SSs). In the current research, the monthly average amount of SS draining into the Caribbean Sea ...

In Brazil, intense coal exploitation activities have led to environmental deterioration, including soil mortification, water contamination, loss of ecosystem, and atmospheric contamination. In addition, considerable ...

School children are highly susceptible to chemicals in the atmosphere. Some studies have demonstrated that the pollution is related to respiratory problems and impaired cognitive development in children. In this context, ...

Nano-minerals and amorphous nanoparticles play a vital role in the contexts of human health and environmental sustainability. For instance, aerosols generated by the process of coal beneficiation adversely affect human ...

In this investigation, the coal fires in different Colombian coal mines were studied using advanced electron beam and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results were compared with information from highresolution transmission ...

Coal processing generates a large volume of waste that can damage human health and the environment. Often these wastes produce acid drainage in which several minerals are crystallized (evaporites). This study aimed to ...

Advanced microscopy analyses are capable of revealing particles that are existent in the Alhambra, Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at minimal levels owing to the detailed directing on ultra-fine (UFPs) and nano-particles ...

Coal combustion and the disposal of combustion wastes emit enormous quantities of nano-sized particles that pose significant health concerns on exposure, particularly in unindustrialized countries. Samples of fresh ...

The golden trumpet tree bark (GTB), a wood-processing residue, was tested as adsorbent material for decontamination of wastewaters containing methylene blue dye (MB). The powdered material was preponderantly amorphous, ...
