Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition bioassay (VFBIA) has been widely applied for the
monitoring of toxicity on account of multiple advantages encompassing shorter test duration …

Due to the merits of being time-saving, cost effective and simple operation, the luminescent
bacteria toxicity assay (LBTA) has been widely used for environmental pollution monitoring …

High-spatial-resolution, near-surface vertical profiling of atmospheric chemical composition
is currently limited by the availability of experimental platforms that can sample in …

Road dust resuspension in urban environments can be both a means of transport of
pollutants across the various environmental compartments and a source of pollutants itself …

The thoracic fraction of road dust (PM10) was measured for the first time in Portugal in
parking areas, both outdoors and indoors, with the aim of completing existing studies carried …

The aim of the present work was to investigate the likely toxicological impact of atmospheric
PM10 particles by comparing different effect-based methodologies, namely the Vibrio …

With increasing road and non-road vehicles in use, air quality and human health have been
under greater pressure in recent years. Generally, changes involving aerosol-based …

Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter< 10 μm (PM 10) was collected, indoors and
outdoors, when wood burning appliances (open fireplace and woodstove) were in …

Visibility is a simple indicator of air quality, and its drastic decrease is often related to poor
air quality resulting from an increase in aerosol (particulate matter PM) concentration …

Abstract Guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) is an important atmospheric pollutant. It is the major
component of wood lignin and is essentially emitted to the atmosphere during biomass …
