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 ...
Metal-enriched nanoparticles and black carbon: A perspective from the Brazil railway system air pollution
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
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 ...
Volcanic emissions and atmospheric pollution: a study of nanoparticles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021-03)
The influence of emissions of an active volcano on the composition of nanoparticles and ultrafine road dust was identified in an urban area of the Andes. Although many cities are close to active volcanoes, few studies have ...
Portable dehumidifiers as an original matrix for the study of inhalable nanoparticles in school
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-06-06)
Good air quality is documented as a significant factor of social justice. The human health hazards associated with air pollution are not distributed equally across cities; the most vulnerable people are more exposed to ...
Nanoparticles from evaporite materials in Colombian coal mine drainages
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
Ultrathin and nanometric materials (minerals and amorphous phases) are detected in transitory deposits of potential hazardous elements (PHEs), especially in acidic coal mine drainages. The main goal of this work was to ...
