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 ...
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 ...

Air quality comparison between two European ceramic tile clusters
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
The European ceramic tile industry is mostly concentrated in two clusters, one in Castelló (Spain) and another one in Modena (Italy). Industrial clusters may have problems to accomplish the EU air quality regulations because ...
Effects of water and CMA in mitigating industrial road dust resuspension
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Water spraying and/or chemical suppressants such as salts and polymers have been suggested to reduce road dust resuspension due to their capability to increase adhesion, and therefore the effective size and weight of ...
Channeled PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 Emission Factors Associated with the Ceramic Process and Abatement Technologies
(MDPI, 2022-08-05)
A sampling methodology and a mathematical data treatment were developed that enable to determine not only total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted at channeled sources but also the PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 mass fractions ...
Evaluation of the Dustiness of Different Kaolin Samples
(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 ...
Inter-comparison of receptor models for PM source apportionment: Case study in an industrial area
(Elsevier, 2008)
Receptor modelling techniques are used to identify and quantify the contributions from emission sources to the levels
and major and trace components of ambient particulate matter (PM). A wide variety of receptor models ...
On the source inversion of fugitive surface layer releases. Part II. Complex sources
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
The experimental measurement of fugitive emissions of particulate matter entails inherent complexity because they are usually discontinuous, of short duration, may be mobile, and are affected by weather conditions. Owing ...
Clay hydration mechanisms and their effect on dustiness
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Clays are employed in a wide variety of industries such as ceramic industry, manufacture of paper, rubber, etc. In this sense, it is well known that at industrial processes in which clayey materials are used, such as ceramic ...
