Evaluation of one-and two-box models as particle exposure prediction tools at industrial scale
Ribalta, Carla; López Lilao, Ana; Fonseca, Ana Sofía; Jensen, Alexander Christian Østerskov; Jensen, Keld Alstrup; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (2021-09-01)One- and two-box models have been pointed out as useful tools for modelling indoor particle exposure. However, model performance still needs further testing if they are to be implemented as trustworthy tools for exposure ... -
Evaluation of the Dustiness of Different Kaolin Samples
López Lilao, Ana; Bruzi, Marine; Sanfélix Forner, Vicenta; Gozalbo Nebot, Ana; Mallol Gasch, Gustavo; Monfort, Eliseo Taylor & Francis (2015)Several samples of kaolin with different mean particle size were prepared and tested using the continuous drop method, one of the reference test methods according to standard EN 15051:2006 “Workplace atmospheres – Measurement ... -
Health risk assessment from exposure to particles during packing in working environments
Ribalta, Carla; López Lilao, Ana; Estupiña, S.; Fonseca, A.S.; Tobías, A.; García-Cobos, Aroa; Minguillón, María Cruz; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Elsevier (2019-06-25)Packing of raw materials in work environments is a known source of potential health impacts (respiratory, cardiovascular) due to exposure to airborne particles. This activity was selected to test different exposure and ... -
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. ... -
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.
