Suspended particulates at the Point Loma, California wastewater outfall
A recent study conducted at the Point Loma wastewater outfall in San Diego used a novel sampling technique, the Pelagic Laser Tomographer (PLT), in combination with traditional water column profiling instruments to analyze suspended particulate ...

A geometrical model to describe the alpha dose rates from particulates of UO$_2$ in water [PDF]
A model investigating the role of geometry on the alpha dose rate of spent nuclear fuel has been developed. This novel approach utilises a new piecewise function to describe the probability of alpha escape as a function of particulate radius, decay range within the material, and position from the surface.

Airborne particulate matter [PDF]
Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a pollutant of concern not only because of its adverse effects on human health but because of its ability to reduce visibility and soil buildings and materials. It can be regarded as a suite of pollutants since PM covers a very wide range of particle sizes and also has a diverse chemical composition ...

Epidemiological studies have suggested that elevated levels of air pollution contribute to an increased incidence or severity of asthma. Although late-onset adult asthma seems to be more attributable to environmental risk factors, limited data is ...

A study of environmental exposure from cooking fuel use and role of intervention
Background: Combustion of traditional biomass fuels and coal has been found to be associated with exposure to particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and cause a series of adverse health effects.

Late metamorphic veins with dominant PS-15 polygonal serpentine in the Monte Avic ultramafite [PDF]
The ultramafic body of Monte Avic (Aosta Valley, Western Alps, Italy) consists of antigorite serpentinite and Ti-clinohumite metadunite. They host late metamorphic veins, up to a couple of centimeters thick, compact, and homogeneous, with a “porcelain ...
