Femtosecond lasers represent a novel tool for tattoo removal as sources that can be operated at high power, potentially leading to different pathways and products. Consequently, the potential toxicity of its application also needs evaluated. In this framework, we present comparative study Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser irradiation, function power exposure time, on water dispersions Pigment Green 7 (PG7) green ink Concentrate (GC), which contains PG7 coloring agent. The treated samples were...
Wastewater treatment plants are known to be relevant input sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the aquatic environment. This study aimed investigate occurrence, fate, seasonal variability twenty-five PFAS four municipal wastewater (WWTP A, B, C, D) surrounding city Milan (Northern, Italy). Composite 24-h samples were collected July October 2021 May February 2022 from influents effluents WWTPs. detected at concentrations ranging between 24.1 66.9 μg L-1 for influent 13.4...
The GC/MS technique is still the staple for analyzing pesticide residues in water. However, many of current-use pesticides are not amenable to analysis. As shown recently some published reports, LC/MS could fill this gap. We developed a sensitive and specific method determining 45 widely used having broad range polarity This involves passing 4, 2, 1 L, respectively, drinking water, groundwater, river water through 0.5-g graphitized carbon black (Carbograph 4) cartridge at ca. 100 mL/min. In...
Due to the widespread use of atrazine, this herbicide and its degradation products (DPs) can contaminate waters destined for human consumption. The overall impact these compounds in aquatic ecosystems has not yet been as sessed. This paper describes a very sensitive specific method ultratrace determination atrazine six major DPs environmental waters. is based upon solid-phase extraction with new example graphitized carbon black (Carbograph 4) followed by electrospray (ES) liquid...
Drying is a critical point for the exploitation of biomass energy production. High moisture content negatively affects efficiency power generation in combustion and gasification systems. Different types dryers are available however; it known that rotary have low cost maintenance consume 15% 30% less terms specific energy. The study analyzed drying process woody residues using new prototype mobile dryer cocurrent flow. Woodchip poplar (Populus spp.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.),...
CO2 adsorption on synthetic zeolites has become a consolidated approach for biogas upgrading to biomethane. As an alternative zeolites, tuff waste from building industry was investigated in this study: indeed, material is available at low price and contains high fraction of natural zeolites. A selective H2S towards CH4 confirmed, allowing obtain high-purity biomethane (CO2 <2 g m−3, i.e. 0.1%; <1.5 mg m−3), suitable injection national grids or as vehicle fuel. The loading capacity found be...
The combustion of biomass is a process that increasingly used for the generation heat and energy through different types wood agricultural waste. emissions generated by include kinds macro- micropollutants whose formation concentration varies according to physical chemical characteristics biomass, conditions, plants, operational parameters process. aim this work evaluate effect moisture content on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during Wet dry poplar chips, with 43.30% 15.00%,...
Indoor aerosol sources may significantly contribute to the daily dose of particles deposited into human respiratory system. Therefore, it is important characterize aerosols deriving from operations currently performed in an indoor environment and also estimate relevant particle doses. For this aim, combustive non-combustive were characterized terms size distributions, deposition doses estimated as a function time, diameter site Ultrafine almost entirely made up estimated. The maximum...
The sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere is often performed on filters, which retain only aerosol particles, disregarding vapor fraction; after filter, an adsorbent (e.g., polyurethane foam, PUF, or styrene/divinylbenzene, XAD) sometimes used for vapors not retained from filter. However, use may lead to many disadvantages: contaminations, analysis time and costs, size problems when developing automated personal samplers. In this work, a functionalized glass...
