Multiobjective evolutionary optimization of traffic flow and pollution in Montevideo, Uruguay
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
Traffic congestion and pollution are important problems in modern cities. As improving traffic flow via infrastructure modifications is expensive and intrusive, approaches using simulations emerge as economic alternatives ...
Biomonitoring Climate Change and Pollution in Marine Ecosystems: A Review on Aulacomya ater
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016-08)
The sedentarism and wide global distribution of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis have made it a useful bioindicator to assess changes in the health status of the marine ecosystem in response to pollution and other environmental ...
Effects of the heavy metals Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ on some physiological parameters of the lichen Usnea amblyoclada to air pollutants
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2007-12)
The effect of Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ on some physiological parameters of the lichen Usnea amblyoclada and the selective uptake of Cu2+ and Pb2+ was assessed. Fresh thalli were soaked in single or mixed metallic solutions. ...
Vicia: a green bridge to clean up polluted environments
(Springer, 2020-01)
Vicia species, commonly known as vetches, include legume plants which nowadays can be found in many countries around the world. Their use to improve soil health and productivity is crucial in management schemes that make ...
Instrumental approach toward understanding nano-pollutants
(Springer, 2017-03)
Nano-pollutants (NPLTs) have recently raised global concerns due to their possible harmful impact on environment and human health. However, until date, information on the occurrence, fate and toxicity of NPLTs in environment ...
An assessment of fish communities along a piedmont river receiving organic pollution (Aconquija Mountains, Argentina)
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2010-09)
The relationships between fish assemblage structure and environmental variables along a pollution gradient in the Medina River were analyzed over a year in four sampling sites (S1-S4). The river flows in a mountain-plain ...
Stable and efficient metal-biochar supported catalyst: degradation of model pollutants through sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes
(Springer, 2020-07)
This study focuses on the synthesis of metal-based biochar catalysts and their catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5−) for the degradation of three diferent wastewater model pollutants employing advanced ...
Bioindicators of Pollution in Marine Environments
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
World marine ecosystems are constantly impacted by anthropogenic activities, accumulating pollutants from the tropics to the poles. Physical, chemical, and biological stressors produced by industrial processes, intensive ...
Freshwater plastic pollution: Recognizing research biases and identifying knowledge gaps
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-10)
The overwhelming majority of research conducted to date on plastic pollution (all size fractions) has focused on marine ecosystems. In comparison, only a few studies provide evidence for the presence of plastic debris in ...
Accumulation of Pollutants, Self-purification and Impact on Peripheral Urban Areas: A Case Study in Shantytowns in Argentina
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2015-05)
This work sets out to debate the tensions involved in the processes of contamination and self-purification in the urban space, particularly in the streams that run through the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. For much of ...
