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 ...
Hazardous thoracic and ultrafine particles from road dust in a Caribbean industrial city
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020)
In this study, inorganic geochemical characterization of the thoracic (or < 10 μm) fraction of road dust in Barranquilla (a major industrial city in the Caribbean region) was conducted. Samples were collected directly from ...
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 ...
Identification of hazardous nanoparticles present in the Caribbean Sea for the allocation of future preservation projects
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
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 ...
