An integrated strategy for air quality monitoring and management in industrial port areas
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 ... -
Beyond the energy balance: Exergy analysis of an industrial roller kiln firing porcelain tiles
Elsevier (2019-03)The ceramic tile manufacturing process consumes large amounts of energy, mainly in the firing stage. Firing usually takes place in natural gas-fuelled continuous roller kilns, the most widely used tile firing facilities ...

Spatiotemporal variations of tropospheric ozone in Spain (2008-2019)
Elsevier (2023-05-08)This study aims to support the development of Spain’s Ozone Mitigation Plan by evaluating the present-day spatial variation (2015–2019) and trends (2008–2019) for seven ground-level ozone (O3) metrics relevant for ...
-
Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer
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 ...
-
The puzzling issue of silica toxicity: are silanols bridging the gaps between surface states and pathogenicity?
Springer Nature (2019)Background: Silica continues to represent an intriguing topic of fundamental and applied research across various scientific fields, from geology to physics, chemistry, cell biology, and particle toxicology. The pathogenic ...
