This study aimed to assess the performance, in terms of precision and accuracy, a prototype (called “P.ALP”—Ph.D. Air Quality Low-cost Project) developed for monitoring PM2.5 concentration levels. Four prototypes were co-located with reference instrumentation four different microenvironments simulating real-world working conditions, namely (i) office, (ii) home, (iii) outdoor, (iv) occupational environments. The devices evaluated total 20 days (approximately 168 h) under wide range...
In the European Union, Occupational Safety and Health legislation generally refers to Regulation (CE) n. 1272/2008 define classify carcinogens of concern for occupational risk assessment exposure assessment. Europe, current reference is Directive (UE) 2022/431, regarding carcinogen, mutagen reprotoxic agents (CMRs) exposure. However, at worldwide level, different classification approaches are used establish carcinogenicity substances it often difficult compare classifications (CoCs) proposed...
The present study explores the modifications of cardiovascular autonomic control (CAC) during wake and sleep time systemic inflammatory profile associated with exposure to indoor air pollution (IAP) in a cohort healthy subjects. Twenty volunteers were enrolled. Indoor levels fine particulate matter (PM

This study aims to delve deeper into the relationship between professional activities carried out in restaurant kitchens and some key air pollutants. The ultrafine particles (UFPs), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) formaldehyde (HCHO) indoor concentrations were determined using real-time monitors. Simultaneously, kitchen environment was characterized video recordings with aim retrieve information pertaining cooking, cookware washing surface...
A positive segregation is usually formed on the casting surfaces produced by high-pressure die (HPDC). In diecast Al-Si-Cu alloy components, this shows a higher content of Si compared to nominal composition and it drastically affects anodizing response surface. present work, HPDC components were AlSi11Cu2(Fe) alloy, grit-blasted, then anodized in sulfuric acid electrolyte at temperature -4.5°C. Before process, some regions also milled, order completely remove surface segregation....
The main aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the differences, in terms exposure PM (particulate matter), between WFO (working-from-office) and WFH (working-from-home) conditions. Two measurement surveys were performed: a long-term short-term campaign, focused on monitoring personal size-fractionated these different working Results campaign show that subject exposed higher (up 4 times) concentration, compared subject. Specific activities performed by subjects impacted their...
Abstract Introduction WFH (Working From Home) is increasingly common, necessitating a careful evaluation of workers’ health. Recent studies have explored various aspects, including its impact on psychological and physical well-being, highlighting positive negative aspects this “new” working mode. This study aims to evaluate one these aspects: worker exposure atmospheric pollutants. Methods Two monitoring surveys were performed: long-term short-term campaign, both focused the measurement...
In the present work, influence of temperature and concentration electrolyte on anodizing response a high-pressure diecast AlSi11Cu2(Fe) alloy was studied. Sandblasted components, produced by high pressure diecasting, were anodized at −4.5 °C or +5 in an with free sulfuric acid 168 g/L 217 g/L. Metallographic image analysis techniques carried out to study changes oxide layer terms thickness morphology. Scratch wear tests also performed characterize surface mechanical properties. The results...
