Monitoring and possible reduction of HF in stack flue gases from ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2010)
HF (hydrogen fluoride) emission control is one of the critical environmental parameters in the firing of ceramic materials at peak temperatures higher than 1000 °C. In this study, in-stack concentrations of HF were monitored ...
Lessons from the COVID-19 air pollution decrease in Spain: Now what?
(2021)
We offer an overview of the COVID-19 -driven air quality changes across 11 metropolises in Spain with the focuson lessons learned on how continuing abating pollution. Trafficflow decreased by up to 80% during the lockdownand ...
E-waste dismantling as a source of personal exposure and environmental release of fine and ultrafine particles
(Elsevier, 2022)
Electronic waste (WEEE; from TV screens to electric toothbrushes) is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. Prior to recycling, e-waste components (metals, wood, glass, etc.) are processed by shredding, ...
In vitro toxicity of industrially relevant engineered nanoparticles in human alveolar epithelial cells: air–liquid interface versus submerged cultures
(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 ...
Organosilane-Based Coating of Quartz Species from the Traditional Ceramics Industry: Evidence of Hazard Reduction Using In Vitro and In Vivo Tests
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
The exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS), e.g. quartz, in industrial settings can induce silicosis and may cause tumours in chronic periods. Consequently, RCS in the form of quartz and cristobalite has been ...
Efecto del procesado de materias primas sobre su poder de emisión de polvo
(ElsevierSociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio, 2017)
En la manipulación y/o procesado de materiales pulverulentos en la industria cerámica, uno de los riesgos más importantes desde el punto de vista ambiental y de higiene laboral es la generación de polvo ambiental. En este ...
Characterisation of acid pollutant emissions in ceramic tile manufacture
(Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio, 2011-07)
One of the environmental impacts associated with ceramics manufacture is the air emission of acid compounds stem from
the presence of impurities in the raw materials and/or fuels.
The present study was undertaken to ...
Respirable crystalline silica in the ceramic industries, sampling, exposura and toxicology.
(Göller Verlag GmbH, 2008)
This paper describes the work carried out during the development of the SILICERAM project, executed during the years 2004 to 2007, explaining both its goals and the actions carried out. It presents the equipment designed ...
Evolution of fluorine emissions during the fast firing of ceramic tile
(Elsevier, 2008)
The present paper examines the emission-adsorption phenomena of fluorine compounds in various ceramic tile body compositions with different fluorine and calcium contents, processed by fast firing cycles in an electric ...
Drivers of divergent trends in tropospheric ozone hotspots in Spain, 2008–2019
(Springer, 2023)
This study aimed to investigate the causes of contrasting ozone (O3) trends in Spanish O3 hotspots between 2008 and 2019, as documented in recent studies. The analysis involved data on key O3 precursors, such as nitrogen ...
