Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation(HCO) has garnered significant attention in the field of water treatment due to its exceptional capability to mineralize organic pollutants. This technology enhances the degradation and m...

Abstract Roadside areas are major sources of traffic-related air pollutant emissions. This study identified the spatial distribution of roadside pollutants using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) measurements and predicted t...

Indoor air quality is a crucial factor that directly impacts worker safety and health (K3), where exposure to hazardous pollutants such as formaldehyde can trigger irritation, respiratory disorders, and long-term health ...

Non-lethal biological techniques such as blood biomarkers have gained attention due to their value as early signals of anthropic effects of contamination representing significant tools to evaluate ecosystems health. We e...

BackgroundMaternal exposure to air pollutants are associated with congenital heart defects (CHDs), yet fundamental questions remain unclear: which pollutant matters most, which exposure window is most critical, and wheth...

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a group of persistent carcinogenic pollutants whose transfer from air to soil via the atmospheric deposition represents a major chronic exposure pathwa...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract Mosses and lichens are effective bioindicators because they absorb nutrients and pollutants directly from the atmosphere, allowing them to accumulate metals and nutrients. This study evaluated mosses and lichens...

Industrial Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology is an optional 128h-course for Chemistry and Biology students at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This course is usually attended by 25 stu...

Abstract Piezocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production holds promise as a sustainable technology, but its practicability is hindered by inadequate polarization fields, sluggish charge transport, and rapid bulk carri...

Housing and energy insecurity represent intersecting social determinants of health that shape exposure to indoor environmental carcinogens and, consequently, cancer outcomes. This scoping review examines how inadequate h...

Along with the increasing requirement for efficient organic conversions using green chemistry, there is a need to develop highly efficient and eco-friendly catalytic reaction systems. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based nan...

Abstract This study characterizes the seasonal variations and cross-boundary aerosol transport in central Thailand using a combination of low-cost PM2.5 sensors, sunphotometer observations, and Himawari-9 satellite aeros...

Abstract Background Ambient air pollution has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods We analyzed 227,324 UK Biobank participants without baselin...

Abstract Objective China has achieved remarkable progress in tuberculosis (TB) control, with the incidence rates declining continuously; however, the disease burden among females remained substantial with pronounced r...

Airlines release the unburned jet fuel into the atmosphere to reduce the weight of aircraft before landing. Sometimes, aircraft reach a weight more than takeoff weight while departing from the airport. Therefore, the pil...

El presente trabajo es parte de la investigación realizada, para la tesis doctoral inédita de la Ing. María Belén Birche. Se describe brevemente qué es la geotermia, y los sistemas que existen para aprovechar el rec...

Methane emissions and chemical pollutants often co-occur in natural and engineered environments, contributing to ecosystem degradation. Microorganisms play key roles in regulating these processes through methane oxidatio...

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo articular conceptos, documentos y bibliografía acerca de los conflictos socio-ecológicos que viran en torno al Estuario de Bahía Blanca (Provincia de Buenos Aires) como escenari...

Estuaries function as sinks for microplastics due to their proximity to urban areas and pollution sources. Because of the great availability of plastic debris in these areas, these pollutants can be accumulated in biota ...

In the power plants operation, the combustion process will produce particulate emissions. Particulate emissions themselves are known have a negative impact on health, such as causing respiratory problems. The pattern of ...

Importance Tinnitus, affecting 10% to 15% of the global population, is a debilitating condition often linked to hearing loss and neurological disorders. While air pollution is a known risk factor for respiratory and card...

The analysis of the Air Quality Index (AQI) is currently a popular subject in the area of sustainable research, as it is crucial for investigating and analysing the effects of air pollutants on human health in urban envi...
