Organic Pollutants in the Suquía River Basin
(Springer, 2018)
It has been observed that the presence of these pollutants is closely related to the anthropic activity carried out at the basin. The upper basin shows presence of cyanotoxins due to urban and touristic activities. The ...
Photocatalytic removal of metallic and other inorganic pollutants
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Studies on the photocatalytic transformation of inorganic species, especially metals (chromium, mercury, lead, uranium), metalloids (arsenic), and nitrate are discussed. The role of semiconductor energetics, type of ...
Tactic Responses of Bacteria to Pollutants: Implications for the Degradation Efficiency of Microbial Biofilms
(Caister Academic Press, 2016)
In nature, microorganisms are mostly found attached to surfaces forming biofilm communities. The study of these biofilms is primarily focused on basic research to better understand their multicellular way of life, and ...
Innovative sustainable materials for the photoinduced remediation of polluted waters
(Elsevier, 2019)
The valorization of low-cost biobased resources (such as biomasses and their derivatives) as alternative feedstock for the preparation of innovative sustainable materials allows both economic and environmental benefits, ...
Microbiological pollution of intramural air in a school in the city of La Plata and its impact on respiratory conditions
(Atena, 2020)
The effects of indoor air pollution have received increased attention worldwide. Schools are places with a high level of activity and population density of children, where different pollutants from both indoor and outdoor ...
Effects of river pollution on its native biota: Results from 20 years studies in the Suquía, river basin (Córdoba, Argentina)
(Springer, 2019)
The Suquía river receives a complex mixture of pollutants from anthropogenic activities, sewages, agricultural and industrial effluents from point and nonpoint pollution sources. Furthermore, it is particularly vulnerable ...
Application of microbial consortia in degradation and detoxification of industrial pollutants
(Elsevier, 2020)
Biodegradation of contaminants presents major challenges and entails not only economic but also environmental benefits. However, it has been demonstrated that biodegradation performances are highly superior when using ...
Nanomaterials in the development of biosensors: Application in the determination of pollutants in water
(Springer, 2019)
In the last years, nanotechnologies have contributed to the development of miniaturized biosensor-based devices with high-throughput analytical properties. Biosensors technology is taking advantage of the latest developments ...
Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) in Coastal Marine Environments: Levels, Fate, Behavior, and Effects on Biota
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
Pesticides have been extensibility used in the control of agricultural and sanitary pests. From World War II onward, more efficient and cheaper synthetic pesticides, such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), including DDT, ...
Eco-friendly Strategies of Remediation in the Marine System
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2020)
Indirect pollution is responsible for most of the environmental issues in the marine ecosystem. Marine systems are polluted by metals, oil, pesticides, radionuclides, gasoline additives and other substances that pose several ...
