Exploring the Diversity and Aromatic Hydrocarbon Degrading Potential of Epiphytic Fungi on Hornbeams from Chronically Polluted Areas
(MDPI, 2021-11)
Plants can ‘catch’ and mitigate airborne pollutants and are assisted by fungi inhabiting their leaves. The structure and function of the fungal communities inhabiting the phyllosphere of hornbeam trees growing in two ...
Light pollution: The possible consequences of excessive illumination on retina
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-02)
Light is the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation within a range of 380-780 nm; (400-700 on primates retina). In vertebrates, the retina is adapted to capturing light photons and transmitting this information to ...
Spatial decision support system for assessing lake pollution hazard: Southeastern pampean shallow lakes (Argentina) as a case study
(Springer, 2014-05)
This study gives an account of the implementation of a decision support system as a logical framework for assessing lake pollution hazard. The use of this system is demonstrated with an example from two lake watersheds, ...
Grey water footprint as an indicator for diffuse nitrogen pollution: The case of Navarra, Spain
(Elsevier, 2019-09)
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, while its application and associated pollution is a worldwide concern. Generally, diffuse source pollution and its impacts on ecosystem health are difficult to monitor and ...
Controlling air pollution in a context of high energy poverty levels in southern Chile: Clean air but colder houses?
(Elsevier, 2019-01)
Firewood is the main fuel used for heating in Chile, but its inefficient use is producing severe episodes of air pollution. To address this issue, authorities implement Air Pollution Management Plans (PDAs), which include ...
Atmospheric pollutants in São Paulo state, Brazil and effects on human health – a review
(Sociedade Brasileira de Geoquímica, 2012)
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 ...
Chronic exposure to urban air pollution from Buenos Aires: The ocular mucosa as an early biomarker
(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-09)
Air pollution represents a major health problem in megacities, bringing about 8 million deaths every year. The aim of the study was to evaluate in vivo the ocular and respiratory mucosa biological response after chronic ...
Biosolid compost with wood shavings and yard trimmings alleviates stress and improves grain quality in soybean grown in lead polluted soils
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-05)
Heavy metals induce stress in plants, thereby affecting growth, crop quality, and food security. Most studies addressing the mitigation of these effects by soil amendment have focused on metals in soils and plant uptake, ...
