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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Nanoparticle exposure and hazard in the ceramic industry: an overview of potential sources, toxicity and health effects
Bessa, Maria João; Brandão, Fátima; Viana, Mar; Gomes, João F.; Monfort, Eliseo; Cassee, Flemming R.; Fraga, Sónia; Paulo Teixeira, Joao Elsevier (2020-05)The ceramic industry is an industrial sector of great impact in the global economy that has been benefitting from advances in materials and processing technologies. Ceramic manufacturing has a strong potential for airborne ... -
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. ... -
Particle release fromrefit operations in shipyards: Exposure, toxicity and environmental implications
López, M.; López Lilao, Ana; Ribalta, C.; Martínez, Y.; Piña, N.; Ballesteros, A.; Fito, C.; Koehler, K.; Newton, A.; Monfort, Eliseo; Viana, Mar Elsevier (2021-09-09)European harbours are known to contribute to air quality degradation.While most of the literature focuses on emissions from stacks or logistics operations, ship refit and repair activities are also relevant aerosol sources ... -
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 ... -
