The magnetic properties of tree leaves may be used to delineate the abundance and dispersal anthropogenic airborne particulate matter (PM) in urban environments. In city Rome, Italy, circulating vehicles are main source PM, already characterized as prevalently low‐coercivity, magnetite‐like particles. To further constrain nature origin such particles, we carried out coupled field emission scanning electron microscopy a variety rock analyses on PM specimens from Quercus ilex potential sources...
Magnetic biomonitoring methodologies were applied at Villa Farnesina, Rome, a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, with loggias frescoed by renowned artists such as Raffaello Sanzio. Plant leaves sampled in September and December 2020 lichen transplants exposed from October to early January 2021 increasing distances main trafficked road, Lungotevere introducing an outdoor vs. indoor mixed sampling design aimed assessing impact vehicular particulate matter (PM) on Loggias. The magnetic...
The concentration of selected trace elements and the magnetic properties samples lichen Evernia prunastri exposed for 3 months in Milan (Italy) were investigated to test if can be used as a proxy bioaccumulation chemical airborne particulate matter. Magnetic analysis showed intense driven by magnetite-like minerals, leading significant correlations between susceptibility Fe, Cr, Cu, Sb. Selected particles characterized Scanning Electron Microscope Energy Dispersion System microanalyses,...
Increased attention has been given to particulate matter (PM) that, as well worsening air quality, is responsible for chronic and acute respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. Currently, most of the studies are focused on capacity plants other biological media adsorb PM, whereas few works explore functional damage due PM urban vegetation. The present study, considering Quercus ilex L. target species its wide distribution in Mediterranean natural areas, pointed out that accumulation, inferred...
Between 9 March and 18 May 2020, strict lockdown measures were adopted in Italy for containing the COVID-19 pandemic: Rome, despite vehicular traffic on average was more than halved, it not observed a evident decrease of airborne particulate matter (PM) concentrations, as assessed by air quality data. In this study, daily PM10 filters collected from selected automated stations operated Rome regional network monitoring: their magnetic properties - including susceptibility, hysteresis...
The uptake ability toward arsenic(V), chromium(VI), and boron(III) ions of ad hoc functionalized magnetic nanostructured devices has been investigated. To this purpose, ligands based on meglumine have synthesized used to coat magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) obtained by the co-precipitation methodology. as-prepared hybrid material was characterized infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive analysis....
This study presents new paleomagnetic results from La Barrancosa Lake (37°19’ S, 60°06’ W), located in the Argentinian Pampean region. The region's sparse studies and its location under South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) make it a key area to investigate past geomagnetic field behavior. A 1-meter-long sediment core (covering approximately last 2500 years), longest record recovered lake date, was collected analyzed. work aims improve understanding of...
Industrial and urban dusts were characterized by investigating their magnetic properties. Topsoil composed of technogenic particles (TMP) originating from areas affected three ironworks, street dust mainly traffic-related pollution, particulate matter (PM) agglomeration in Warsaw, Poland investigated. Several methods, namely susceptibility, thermomagnetic curves, hysteresis loops, decomposition isothermal remanent magnetization acquisition first-order reversal performed to evaluate the...
Abstract A wealth of paleomagnetic data from Yunnan (China) showed in the past a predominant post‐Cretaceous clockwise (CW) rotation pattern, mostly explained invoking huge (hundreds kilometer wide) blocks, laterally escaping (and/or rotating) due to India‐Asia collision, separated by major strike‐slip shear zones. Here we report on paleomagnetism outcrops close Gaoligong dextral zone. Fifty sites (503 samples) were sampled at variable distances (up ~25 km) mylonites exposed along fault....
Abstract New magnetobiostratigraphic data for the late Oligocene through early Miocene at Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Hole 516F provide a significantly revised age model, which permits reevaluation of developments that led to Mi‐1 glacial event Oligocene‐Miocene boundary. Our new high‐resolution paleomagnetic study, is supported by quantitative calcareous nannofossil and planktonic foraminiferal analyses, refines previous models sediments from DSDP 516F, with ages are systematically...
