Assessing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in atmospheric and aquatic envir...
Simões, Eliana F. C.; Almeida, Antoine S.; Duarte, Armando C.; Duarte, Regina M. B. O.Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) play a crucial role in biotic and abiotic processes. In the atmosphere, ROS/RNS are usually associated with air pollution. The ability of certain air particulate matter constituents to influence the formation and cycling of ROS/RNS at the atmosphere-biosphere-hydrosphere interfaces is important for the observed linkages between atmospheric aerosols and adverse ...
Structural features and pro-inflammatory effects of water-soluble organic matte...
Almeida, Antoine S.; Ferreira, Rita M. P.; Silva, Artur M. S.; Duarte, Armando C.; Neves, Bruno M.; Duarte, Regina M. B. O.The impact of inhalable fine particulate matter (PM2.5, aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 µm) on public health is of great concern worldwide. Knowledge on their harmful effects are mainly due to studies carried out with whole air particles, being the contribution of their different fractions largely unknown. Herein, a set of urban PM2.5 samples were collected during day and nighttime periods in Autumn and Spring, aimi...
