Multispectroscopic and Isotopic Ratio Analysis To Characterize the Inorganic Binder Used on Pompeian Pink and Purple Lake Pigments
(ACS Publications, 2016-05-18)
Because of the fact that pigments are not ubiquitous in the archeological record, the application of noninvasive analytical methods is a necessity. In this work, pink and purple lake pigments recovered from the excavations ...
Classification of archaeological pieces into their respective stratum by a chemometric model based on the soil concentration of 25 selected elements
(Elsevier, 2010-04-01)
The aim of this work was to demonstrate that an archaeological ceramic piece has remained buried underground in the same stratum for centuries without being removed. For this purpose, a chemometric model based on Principal ...
Diagnosing the traffic impact on roadside soils through a multianalytical data analysis of the concentration profiles of traffic-related elements
(2013-05-16)
The road traffic has become one of the most serious environmental problems in many cities and the main source of pollution of urban soils. To diagnose properly the magnitude of such impacts on roadside soils, eight urban ...
In-situ analytical study of bricks exposed to marine environment using hand-held X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and related laboratory techniques
(Elsevier, 2018-05-03)
In this work, the degradation processes that take place in bricks exposed to marine environments have been studied. Taking into account the importance of this building material where the silicates present in the final ...
Micro-Raman and SEM-EDS analyses to evaluate the nature of salt clusters present in secondary marine aerosol
(Elsevier, 2017-10-17)
Marine aerosol is a complex inorganic and organic chemistry system which contains several salts, mainly forming different type of salt clusters. Different meteorological parameters have a key role in the formation of these ...
Raman spectroscopy assisted with XRF and chemical simulation to assess the synergic impacts of guardrails and traffic pollutants on urban soils
(Wiley, 2012-11-01)
Urban soils are potential reservoirs of toxic metals as a consequence of traffic emissions. Sources like brake linings, tyres, road pavement, exhaust fumes, guardrail, traffic signals and other galvanised steel structures ...
Non-destructive characterisation of the Elephant Moraine 83227 meteorite using confocal Raman, micro-energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence and Raman-scanning electron microscope-energy-dispersive X-ray microscopies
(Springer, 2018)
The application of a non-destructive analytical procedure to characterise the mineral phases in meteorites is a key issue in order to preserve this type of scarce materials. In the present work, the Elephant Moraine 83227 ...
Emerging application of a structural and chemical analyzer for the complete characterization of metal-rich particulate matter
(ACS, 2013-07-02)
Clean air is considered to be a basic requirement of human health and well-being. An increasing range of adverse health effects has been linked to air pollution, at ever-lower concentrations. This research shows the newly ...
A Rapid Routine Methodology Based on Chemometrics to Evaluate the Toxicity of Commercial Infant Milks Due to Hazardous Elements
(Springer, 2022)
The toxicity and the health risk assessment associated to the presence of some hazardous elements (HEs) in dried (infant formula and powdered) milks due to manufacturing and packaging process, raw materials used, environmental ...
Evidence of mercury sequestration by carbon nanotubes and nanominerals present in agricultural soils from a coal fired power plant exhaust
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Mercury (Hg) in agricultural soils could have negative effects on the environment and the human health. The exposure to high level of Hg through different absorption pathways, such as ingestion and diet through soil-plant ...
