Assessment of Indoor Air Pollution From Cooking and Cleaning Activities in Italian Restaurant Kitchens

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This work assesses indoor air quality (IAQ) in 15 restaurant kitchens in Northern Italy by monitoring air pollutants from both cooking and cleaning activities. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ultrafine particles (UFPs) were monitored across two seasons—winter and summer ...

Surface‐Mounted Metal‐Organic Framework for the Adsorption and Sensing of Monoaromatic Pollutants in Water Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 23, December 3, 2025.
A hydrophobic metal‐organic framework (UHMOF‐100) is grown on a quartz crystal microbalance sensor for the first time. The device enables real‐time, selective detection of monoaromatic BTEX pollutants in water, demonstrating a new strategy for creating robust chemical sensors for challenging environmental monitoring applications. Abstract Environmental

Simulation of benzene transport and biodegradation during transient hydraulic conditions [PDF]

, 2000
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2000MODFLOW and BIOMOC were used to simulate transport and biodegradation of benzene in the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Chena River. MODFLOW was used to calculate ground water fluxes at the boundaries of

Nitrate addition to groundwater impacted by ethanol-blended fuel accelerates ethanol removal and mitigates the associated metabolic flux dilution and inhibition of BTEX biodegradation [PDF]

, 2015
A comparison of two controlled ethanol-blended fuel releases under monitored natural attenuation (MNA) versus nitrate biostimulation (NB) illustrates the potential benefits of augmenting the electron acceptor pool with nitrate to accelerate ethanol ...

Assessment of the impact of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) on soil microbial population in selected areas of Port Harcourt City, Nigeria

Scientific African
Human activities are on the rise in these areas and consequently, the discharge of BTEX to the environment is on the rise. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), are known to cause cancer and mutagenesis.
