Identification and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds and Bioaerosols in the Conservation Processes of Guanche Mummies

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 561-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

Exploring toilet plume bioaerosol exposure dynamics in public toilets using a Design of Experiments approach

open access: yesScientific Reports
Bioaerosols generated during toilet flushing can contribute to the spread of airborne pathogens and cross-contamination in indoor environments. This presents an increased risk of fomite-mediated or aerosol disease transmission.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 13, April 5, 2026.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.
