A cross-sectional study of determinants of indoor environmental exposures in households with and without chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke
(BMC, 2014)
Background: Burning biomass fuels indoors for cooking is associated with high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO). More efficient biomass-burning stoves and chimneys for ventilation have been ...
Responses of Phalaris canariensis L. Exposed to commercial fuels during growth
(Springer, 2014-06-24)
The growth behaviour of canary grass (Phalaris canariensis L) when cultivated in presence of farming fuels is reported in this work. P. canariensis L. is relevant in several countries. It is an emergent plant for ...
Homocysteine and cysteine concentrations are modified by recent exposure to environmental air pollution in Sao Paulo, Brazil
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009)
Millions of people worldwide are affected by anthropogenic air pollution derived from the combustion of fossil fuels. In this work, we tested the effects of fetal, lactation and post-weaning ambient air pollution exposure ...
Mortality And Air Pollution Exposure: Spatial-Temporal Methodology
(2014)
The World Health Organization estimates that 800,000 people die annually due to exposure to
outdoor air pollution from combustion of fossil fuels worldwide. Millions more people suffer
from asthma attacks, pneumonia, ...
Simultaneous determination of hydrocarbon renewable diesel, biodiesel and petroleum diesel contents in diesel fuel blends using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and chemometrics

Single-Stage Fuel Cell to Grid Interface with Multilevel Current-Source Inverters
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-08)
Renewable energy sources can be used for electric power generation to supply specific devices in distributed systems such as smart grids. Hydrogen fuel cells have proven to be an effective solution to produce electrical ...
An overview of biodiesel soil pollution: Data based on cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assessments
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-01-15)
Biodiesel production has received considerable attention in the recent past as a nonpolluting fuel. However, this assertion has been based on its biodegradability and reduction in exhaust emissions. Assessments of water ...

Biochemical responses in armored catfish (Pterygoplichthys anisitsi) after short-term exposure to diesel oil, pure biodiesel and biodiesel blends
(2013-09-01)
Biodiesel fuel is gradually replacing petroleum-based diesel oil use. Despite the biodiesel being considered friendlier to the environment, little is known about its effects in aquatic organisms. In this work we evaluated ...
Exposure of pregnant women to indoor air pollution: a study from nine low and middle income countries
(Taylor & Francis As, 2010-01)
OBJECTIVE: We studied exposure to solid fuel and second-hand tobacco smoke among pregnant women in south Asia, Africa and Latin America. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Antenatal clinics in Argentina, ...
