Characterization of atmospheric aerosol (PM10 and PM2.5) from a medium sized city in São Paulo state, Brazil
(2020-03-01)
Air pollution causes deleterious effects on human health with aerosols being among the most polluting agents. The objective of this work is the characterization of the PM2.5 and PM10 aerosol mass in the atmosphere. The ...
Trends in air quality and population exposure in Santiago, Chile, 1989-2001
(INDERSCIENCE ENTERPRISES LTD, 2004)
This study focused on establishing trends in the period 1988-2001 in PM2.5, PM10 and ozone concentrations in Santiago, Chile, and linking those to population exposure. There is strong seasonality in the concentration levels, ...
PM10 emissions from aggregate fractions of an Entic Haplustoll under two contrasting tillage systems
(Elsevier Science, 2015-12)
Tillage systems affect physical and chemical properties of soils modifying its aggregation. How changes of the aggregate size distribution affect the capacity of the soil to emit fine particulate matter (PM10) to the ...
Assessment of fine and sub-micrometer aerosols at an urban environment of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2014-05)
Bulk aerosol samples collected during 2010 and 2011 at one receptor site in Córdoba City, Argentina, havebeen quantitatively analyzed to determine aerosol elemental composition by using SR-XRF. A receptormodel analysis has ...
Elemental composition of PM0.25 collected in an urban site of Argentina: A first case study
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-11)
A total of 175 aerosol samples were collected during the winter-spring months of 2014–2015 in Córdoba, Argentina. The samples were collected in five size fractions that ranged from <0.25 to 10 μm using a SIOUTAS impactor ...
Size-segregated aerosol chemical composition from an agro-industrial region of Sao Paulo state, Brazil
(Springer, 2017-05-01)
The main objective of this research included a detailed inorganic and organic characterisation of atmospheric aerosols, to understand the changes in their composition as a result of the implementation of the Sugar and ...

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly pathogenic, transmittable and invasive pneumococcal disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in December
2019 and ...
Chemical characterization and study of the genotoxicity and induction of oxidative stress of particulate material pm10 from the urban area of cuenca –ecuador [Caracterización química del material particulado PM10 de la zona urbana de Cuenca- Ecuador e investigación de su genotoxicidad e inducción de estrés oxidativo en células epiteliales alveolares A549]
(ASOCIACION ESPANOLA DE TOXICOLOGIA, 2015-01-01)
Exposure to environmental particles is a risk factor that causes damage to human health, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The toxicity and inflammatory effects of these particles is related to ...
Age-related lung cell response to urban Buenos Aires air particle soluble fraction
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2008-06)
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) may alter lung homeostasis inducing changes in fluid balance and host defense. Bioavailability of soluble PM compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated ...
