Additives for reducing the toxicity of respirable crystalline silica. SILIFE project
Monfort, Eliseo; López Lilao, Ana; Escrig, Alberto; Ibáñez, María Jesús; Bonvicini, Giuliana; Creutzenberg, Otto; Ziemann, Christina EDP Sciences (2017-10-23)Prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica particles has long been known to cause lung inflammation and development of the granulomatous and a fibrogenic lung disease known as silicosis . The International ... -
Air quality comparison between two European ceramic tile clusters
Minguillón Bengochea, María Cruz; Monfort, Eliseo; Escrig, Alberto; Celades López, Irina; Guerra, L.; Busani, G.; Sterni, A.; Querol, Xavier Elsevier (2013-08)The European ceramic tile industry is mostly concentrated in two clusters, one in Castelló (Spain) and another one in Modena (Italy). Industrial clusters may have problems to accomplish the EU air quality regulations because ... -
Channeled PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 Emission Factors Associated with the Ceramic Process and Abatement Technologies
Monfort, Eliseo; Celades López, Irina; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; López Lilao, Ana; Gomar Peiró, Salvador; Escrig, Alberto; Querol, Xavier MDPI (2022-08-05)A sampling methodology and a mathematical data treatment were developed that enable to determine not only total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted at channeled sources but also the PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 mass fractions ... -
Effects of water and CMA in mitigating industrial road dust resuspension
Amato, F.; Escrig, Alberto; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Celades López, Irina; Reche, Cristina; Monfort, Eliseo; Querol, Xavier Elsevier (2016-04)Water spraying and/or chemical suppressants such as salts and polymers have been suggested to reduce road dust resuspension due to their capability to increase adhesion, and therefore the effective size and weight of ... -
Impact of fugitive emissions in ambient PM levels and composition. A case study in Southeast Spain
Santacatalina, Milagros; Reche, Cristina; Minguillón Bengochea, María Cruz; Escrig, Alberto; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Carratalá, Adoración; Nicolás, José.F; Yubero, Eduardo; Crespo, Javier; Alastuey, Andres; Monfort, Eliseo; Miró, José Vicente; Querol, Xavier Elsevier (2010)The results of this study show the high impact that anthropogenic fugitive emissions of mineral dust have on air quality (levels of PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub> and some metals) in a region in SE Spain named L'Alacantí. ... -
On the source inversion of fugitive surface layer releases. Part I. Model formulation and application to simple sources
Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Escrig, Alberto; López Lilao, Ana; Celades López, Irina; Monfort, Eliseo Elsevier (2015-05)Source inversion by dispersion modelling of fugitive particulate matter (PM) emissions entails considerable difficulty. Fugitive PM sources are rarely steady or point sources. They occur near the ground, where there are ... -
On the source inversion of fugitive surface layer releases. Part II. Complex sources
Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Escrig, Alberto; López Lilao, Ana; Celades López, Irina; Monfort, Eliseo Elsevier (2017-06)The experimental measurement of fugitive emissions of particulate matter entails inherent complexity because they are usually discontinuous, of short duration, may be mobile, and are affected by weather conditions. Owing ... -
Organosilane-Based Coating of Quartz Species from the Traditional Ceramics Industry: Evidence of Hazard Reduction Using In Vitro and In Vivo Tests
Ziemann, Christina; Escrig, Alberto; Bonvicini, Giuliana; Ibáñez, María Jesús; Monfort, Eliseo; Salomoni, Arturo; Creutzenberg, Otto Oxford University Press (2017)The exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS), e.g. quartz, in industrial settings can induce silicosis and may cause tumours in chronic periods. Consequently, RCS in the form of quartz and cristobalite has been ... -
Quantifying road dust resuspension in urban environment by Multilinear Engine: A comparison with PMF2
Amato, F.; Pandolfi, Monica; Escrig, Alberto; Querol, Xavier; Alastuey, Andres; Pey, J.; Pérez, N.; Hopke, P. K. Elsevier (2009)Atmospheric PM pollution from traffic comprises not only direct emissions but also non-exhaust emissions because resuspension of road dust that can produce high human exposure to heavy metals, metalloids, and mineral matter. ... -
Quartz dustiness: A key factor in controlling exposure to crystalline silica in the workplace
López Lilao, Ana; Escrig, Alberto; Orts Tarí, María José; Mallol Gasch, Gustavo; Monfort, Eliseo Taylor & Francis (2016)The classification of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) as carcinogenic for humans has drawn greater attention to crystalline silica exposure in the workplace in recent years, leading to recommendations by safety and ... -
