• openAccess   An integrated strategy for air quality monitoring and management in industrial port areas 

      López, María; Giner Cifre, Clara; López Lilao, Ana; Sanfélix, Vicenta; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Elsevier (2024-02-10)
      Port areas are under increasing social pressures to minimise their environmental impact and to demonstrate their environmental commitment, which is a major challenge especially in the case of industrial port areas close ...
    • openAccess   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 ...
    • openAccess   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 ...
    • openAccess   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. ...
    • openAccess   On the Relationship between Exposure to Particles and Dustiness during Handling of Powders in Industrial Settings 

      Ribalta, Carla; Viana, Mar; López Lilao, Ana; Estupiñá Ariño, Sara; Minguillón, Maria Cruz; Mendoza, Joan; Díaz, Jordi; Dahmann, Dirk; Monfort, Eliseo Oxford University Press (2019-01-07)
      Exposure to ceramic powders, which is frequent during handling operations, is known to cause adverse health effects. Finding proxy parameters to quantify exposure is useful for efficient and timely exposure assessments. ...
    • openAccess   Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer 

      Ribalta, Carla; Koivisto, Antti Joonas; López Lilao, Ana; Estupiñá Ariño, Sara; Minguillón, María Cruz; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Elsevier (2019)
      Modelling of particle exposure is a useful tool for preliminary exposure assessment in workplaces. However, actual exposure measurements are needed to assess models reliability. Worker exposure was monitored during packing ...
    • openAccess   Workplace Exposure to Nanoparticles during Thermal Spraying of Ceramic Coatings 

      Salmatonidis, Apostolos; Ribalta, Carla; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Bezantakos, Spyridon; Biskos, George; Vulpoi , Adriana; Simion, Simon; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Oxford University Press (OUP) (2019-01)
      Thermal spraying is widely used for industrial-scale application of ceramic coatings onto metallic surfaces. The particular process has implications for occupational health, as the high energy process generates high emissions ...
