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 ...
GIS-based pollution hazard mapping and assessment framework of shallow lakes: Southeastern Pampean lakes (Argentina) as a case study
(Springer, 2013-02)
The assessment of water vulnerability and pollution hazard traditionally places particular emphasis on the study on groundwaters more than on surface waters. Consequently, a GIS-based Lake Pollution Hazard Index (LPHI) was ...
