Characterization of low-temperature plasmas generated by dielectric barrier discharges for bacterial inactivation
Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) at atmospheric pressure hold great promise for disinfection and sterilization applications. When compared to traditional sterilization technologies like autoclaving, LTPs may offer several benefits, including reduced energy c ...
EPFL2024Parity in bacterial communities and resistomes: Microplastic and natural organic particles in the Tyrrhenian Sea
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Sylvain Coudret
Petroleum-based microplastic particles (MPs) are carriers of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments, influencing the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance. This research characterized MP and natural organic particle (NOP) ...
2024Molecular imine cages with π-basic Au3(pyrazolate) faces
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Noga Eren
One tetrahedral and two trigonal prismatic cages with π-basic Au3(pyrazolate)3 faces were obtained by connection of pre-formed gold complexes via dynamic covalent imine chemistry. The parallel arrangement of the Au3(pyrazolate)3 complexes in the prismatic ...
2024Organ-specific biotransformation in salmonids: Insight into intrinsic enzyme activity and biotransformation of three micropollutants
Kristin Schirmer, Juliane Hollender
Aquatic ecosystems continue to be threatened by chemical pollution. To what extent organisms are able to cope with chemical exposure depends on their ability to display mechanisms of defense across different organs. Among these mechanisms, biotransformatio ...
Elsevier2024The Bioaccumulation of Ionizable Organic Compounds in Fish Cell Lines
Bioaccumulation is defined as the enrichment of a compound in an organism relative to the surrounding water or its food, and is an important endpoint in chemical risk assessment. Under laboratory conditions, bioaccumulation is measured as bioconcentration ...
EPFL2023High concentration of black carbon in northern Pakistan: Characteristics, source apportionment and emission source regions
Atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) is one of the absorbing components of solar radiation which potentially affects human health and regional climate. In the current study, BC mass concentrations were regularly observed for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons using ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Adequacy of stationary measurements as proxies for residential personal exposure to gaseous and particle air pollutants
People are exposed to myriad of airborne pollutants in their homes. Owing to diverse potential sources of air pollution and human activity patterns, accurate assessment of residential exposures is complex. In this study, we explored the relationship betwee ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Assessment of personal exposure to particle and gaseous air pollutants in residences and offices
Maria Viviana Gonzalez Serrano
Poor indoor air quality has been associated with health issues and decreased work performance. Personal exposure that takes place both in outdoor and indoor environments is the result of dy-namic processes and complex interactions between people and surrou ...
EPFL2023Why five decades of massive research on heterogeneous photocatalysis, especially on TiO2, has not yet driven to water disinfection and detoxification applications? Critical review of drawbacks and challenges
César Pulgarin, Julian Andrés Rengifo Herrera
For fifty years, heterogeneous photocatalysis has been considered as having potential to remove organic and microbiological pollutants from water under either artificial UV light or sunlight irradiation. However, after tens of thousands of published resear ...
Lausanne2023Predicting Transformation Products during Aqueous Oxidation Processes: Current State and Outlook
Water quality and its impacts on human and ecosystem health presents tremendous global challenges. While oxidative water treatment can solve many of these problems related to hygiene and micropollutants, identifying and predicting transformation products f ...
