Green Leaf Volatiles in the Atmosphere - Properties, Transformation, and Significance
(MDPI Atmosphere, 2021-12-09)
This review thoroughly covers the research on green leaf volatiles (GLV) in the context of atmospheric chemistry. It briefly takes on the GLV sources, in-plant synthesis, and emission inventory data. The discussion of ...
Toxicological Responses of α-Pinene-Derived Secondary Organic Aerosol and Its Molecular Tracers in Human Lung Cell Lines
(ACS Publications, 2021-03-02)
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is a major
component of airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that contributes
to adverse human health effects upon inhalation. Atmospheric
ozonolysis of α-pinene, an abundantly emitted ...
Cytotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by atmospheric mono-nitrophenols in human lung cells
(Environmental Pollution, 2021-05-15)
Nitrophenols (NPs) are hazardous pollutants found in various environmental matrices, including ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), agricultural residues, rainwater, wildfires, and industrial wastes. This study showed ...
Toxicity of selected airborne nitrophenols on eukaryotic cell membrane models
(Elsevier, 2021-03-06)
Nitroaromatics belong to the group of toxic components of aerosol particles and atmospheric hydrometeors that enter the atmosphere through biomass burning and fuel combustion. In the present work, we report on the cytotoxic ...
Confinement of Colloids with Competing Interactions in Ordered Porous Materials
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
In this work, we explore the possibility of promoting the formation of ordered microphases by confinement of colloids with competing interactions in ordered porous materials. For that aim, we consider three families of ...
Reaction Kinetics of Green Leaf Volatiles with Sulfate, Hydroxyl, and Nitrate Radicals in Tropospheric Aqueous Phase
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-28)
Green plants exposed to abiotic or biotic stress
release C-5 and C-6 unsaturated oxygenated hydrocarbons called Green Leaf Volatiles (GLVs). GLVs partition into tropospheric waters and react to form secondary organic ...
Organic Hydroxy Acids as Highly Oxygenated Molecular (HOM) Tracers for Aged Isoprene Aerosol
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11-22)
Highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) are a class of compounds associated with secondary organic aerosols exhibiting high oxygen to carbon (O:C) ratios and often originating from the oxidation of biogenic compounds. Here, the ...
Physicochemical Properties of Terebic Acid, MBTCA, Diaterpenylic Acid Acetate, and Pinanediol as Relevant α‑Pinene Oxidation Products
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03)
The physicochemical properties and the synthesis of four α-pinene oxidation products, terebic acid, 3-methyl-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylic acid (MBTCA), diaterpenylic acid acetate (DTAA), and pinanediol, are presented in this ...
Effect of Microwave Treatment in a High Pressure Microwave Reactor on Graphene Oxide Reduction Process—TEM, XRD, Raman, IR and Surface Electron Spectroscopic Studies
(MDPI, 2021-09-30)
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared by chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) (a modified Hummers method) in aqueous solutions of hydrazine (N2H4), formaldehyde (CH2O), formic acid (HCO2H) accompanied by a microwave ...
Combined Influence of Low-Grade Metakaolins and Natural Zeolite on Compressive Strength and Heavy Metal Adsorption of Geopolymers
(MDPI, 2021-05-01)
Metakaolins (MKs) prepared from low-grade kaolins located in the Alvarães (A) and Barqueiros (B) regions of Portugal were used as the aluminosilicate source to compare their effect on the compressive strength and heavy ...
