Assessing threats, regulations, and strategies to abate plastic pollution in LAC beaches during COVID-19 pandemic
(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)
Plastic use and production have dramatically increased globally over the past 65 years with the improvement of life quality by the daily use of plastic products. Still, around 50% of the plastic produced is disposable ...
Air Pollutants in an Intermediate City: Variability and Interactions with Weather and Anthropogenic Elements in Bahía Blanca, Argentina
(Springer, 2021-03)
We analyzed the temporal variability of air pollutants in Bahía Blanca and their relationship with anthropogenic elements and weather conditions in the urban atmosphere for the period 2010–2017. We used public access ...
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 ...

(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 ...
Impact of phenol on the glycerophospholipid turnover and potential role of circadian clock in the plant response against this pollutant in tobacco hairy roots
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2020-06)
Glycerophospholipids (GPLs) from cell membranes (CM) are a proper source for the synthesis of lipid messengers able to activate signal pathways that will define the plant survival under changing and stressful environmental ...
Gills CYP1A of Oncorhynchus mykiss as a sensitive biomarker of crude oil pollution in freshwater environments
(Elsevier Science, 2019-04)
The induction of CYP1A activity (EROD) and protein expression was compared in liver and gills of rainbow trout from a stream polluted with crude oil, and through laboratory exposures to 1% and 5% of water accommodated ...
