Coal mining in China is continually increasing, and the associated emitted coal mine dust of growing environmental occupational concern. In this study, deposited (DD) was analysed three different regions an active, highly-volatile bituminous open-pit Xingjian Province, Northwest China: working fronts, tailings handling sites, road traffic sites. Samples were for particle size, geochemical mineralogical patterns, then compared with respirable DD fractions (RDDs, <4 μm) separated from samples....
We focus on a comparison of the geochemistry and mineralogy patterns found in coal, deposited dust (DD), respirable (RDD) inhalable suspended (PM10) from number underground mines located China, with an emphasis potential occupational health relevance. After obtaining RDD DD, toxicological analysis (oxidative potential, OP) was carried out compared their geochemical patterns. The results demonstrate: i) dependence RDD/DD moisture content for high rank coals that does not exist low coals; ii)...
Research on coal-hosted strategic metal ore deposits is an important subject in coal geology and mineral deposit worldwide. However, the related geological characteristics of coals from Vietnam have seldom been investigated, let alone metals coals. This paper investigates mineralogical geochemical Upper Triassic Nui Hong open-pit mine, Thai Nguyen Coalfield, NE Vietnam, with emphasis enrichment coal. The low-volatile bituminous high sulfur organic content. Minerals predominantly composed...
Vegetarian foods are plant-based (PB) foods, often perceived as healthier than animal-based (AB) foods. The objective of this study was to analyze the nutritional quality a set PB (meat, milk and dairy products) marketed in Spain, compare their nutrient profiles with respect some AB counterparts. Nutritional information per 100 g or mL, ingredients, declarations, well Nutri-Score, NOVA, Eco-Score each food were collected from Open Food Facts. Differences compositions between counterparts,...
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive examination of commercial FGD gypsum produced in Copper (Cu) smelter process and delved into its potential use as Calcium (Ca)-rich material for ex-situ mineral carbonation by exploring the partitioning fate these metal impurities. The resulting end-product displayed calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content 71.1%, featuring relatively low CO2 conversion, which may be attributed to presence metallic impurities FGD-gypsum. Most impurities, acting inputs...
The abatement of road dust emissions is currently a major challenge for sustainable transportation, causing exceedances limits on particulate matter (PM) and high population exposures to mineral metals. Mitigation measures have been proposed such as improved street cleaning the use suppressants. This study evaluated, first time, effectiveness calcium-magnesium acetate (CMA) MgCl2 in reducing Mediterranean city. During two-month campaign, typical urban city Barcelona was sprayed, changes PMx...
Abstract. Characterising the physico-chemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions is fundamental to understanding effects dust on climate and ecosystems. However, knowledge regarding high-latitude (HLD) remains limited. This study focuses analysing particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, cohesion, iron (Fe) mode occurrence, visible–near infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra from hotspots Iceland (HLD region). Extensive analysis was conducted samples top sediments,...
Abstract. Constraining dust models to understand and quantify the effect of upon climate ecosystems requires comprehensive analyses physiochemical properties dust-emitting sediments in arid regions. Building previous studies Moroccan Sahara Iceland, we analyse a diverse set crusts aeolian ripples (n=55) from various potential basins within Mojave Desert, California, USA. Our focus is on characterizing particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, aggregation/cohesion state, Fe mode...
The coastal region of Kanchanadit District, Surat Thani Province, is known for aquaculture and mining activities, may be environmentally contaminated with radon. Therefore, this work was aimed at studying the physical properties measuring radon concentrations in water indoor air within buildings. In addition, health risks from exposure were evaluated. One hundred fifty six samples collected various sources, including groundwater, tap water, shallow wells, canals, areas, using a RAD7 device...
