Determinants of workplace exposure and release of ultrafine particles during atmospheric plasma spraying in the ceramic industry
Viana, Marcelo; Fonseca, A.S.; Querol, Xavier; López Lilao, Ana; Carpio Cobo, Pablo; Salmatonidis, Apostolos; Monfort, Eliseo Elsevier (2017)Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is a frequently used technique to produce enhanced-property coatings for different materials in the ceramic industry. This work aimed to characterise and quantify the impact of APS on ... -
Effectiveness of nanoparticle exposure mitigation measures in industrial settings
Salmatonidis, Apostolos; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Carpio Cobo, Pablo; Pawłowski, L.; Viana, Mar; Monfort, Eliseo Elsevier (2019-07)Inhalation of airborne nanoparticles is a well-known source of potentially health-hazardous occupational exposures. Effective mitigation measures are necessary to reduce exposure, but also challenging to implement due to ... -
In vitro toxicity of industrially relevant engineered nanoparticles in human alveolar epithelial cells: air–liquid interface versus submerged cultures
Bessa, Maria João; Brandão, Fátima; Fokkens, Paul H. B.; Leseman, Daan L. A. C.; Boere, A. John F.; Cassee, Flemming R.; Salmatonidis, Apostolos; Viana, Mar; Vulpoi Lazar, Adriana; simon, Simion; Monfort, Eliseo; Paulo Teixeira, Joao; Fraga, Sónia MDPI (2021-11-27)Diverse industries have already incorporated within their production processes engineered nanoparticles (ENP), increasing the potential risk of worker inhalation exposure. In vitro models have been widely used to investigate ... -
Modeling of High Nanoparticle Exposure in an Indoor Industrial Scenario with a One-Box Model
Ribalta, Carla; Koivisto, Antti Joonas; Salmatonidis, Apostolos; López Lilao, Ana; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar MDPI (2019-05)Mass balance models have proved to be effective tools for exposure prediction in occupational settings. However, they are still not extensively tested in real-world scenarios, or for particle number concentrations. An ... -
Nanoparticle formation and emission during laser ablation of ceramic tiles
Salmatonidis, Apostolos; Viana, Mar; Pérez, Noemí; Alastuey, Andres; De la Fuente, Germán F.; Angurel Lambán, Luis Alberto; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Monfort, Eliseo Elsevier (2018-12)Pulsed laser ablation (PLA) is a widely used technology, for surface structuring and tile decoration in the ceramic industry. During PLA, nanoparticles (NP <100 nm) are unintentionally released and may impact exposure. ... -
Unveiling the Toxicity of Fine and Nano-Sized Airborne Particles Generated from Industrial Thermal Spraying Processes in Human Alveolar Epithelial Cells
