Comprehensive assessment of PM10 from home heating using different appliances a...
Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Vicente, Estela D.; Charres, Isabella; Evtyugina, Margarita; Alfosea-Simón, Marina; Lucarelli, Franco; Kováts, Nora; Ryšavý, JiříThe European Union has implemented policies to promote renewable energy, with an emphasis on biomass for heat generation. However, residential biomass combustion is a major source of particulate matter (PM10), and its chemical constituents pose health concerns worldwide. This study characterised the organic and inorganic composition, oxidative potential (OP), and ecotoxicity of PM10 indoors and outdoors during ...
Chemical speciation and oxidative potential of PM10 in different residential mi...
Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Vicente, Estela D.; Evtyugina, Margarita; Figueiredo, Daniela R.; Pietrogrande, Maria C.; Lucarelli, Franco; Feliciano, ManuelExposure to particulate matter (PM) and its chemical constituents in residential microenvironments has become a major health concern worldwide. The oxidative potential (OP) has been proposed as a metric for estimating the PM capacity to induce oxidative stress and, consequently, health effects. In the present study, PM10 was daily monitored simultaneously in the bedroom, living room and kitchen of three dwellin...
Experimental study of thermo-environmental properties of single and double-cham...
Ryšavý, Jiří; Vicente, Estela Alexandra Domingos; Molchanov, Oleksandr; Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Krpec, Kamil; Alves, Célia A.; Feliciano, ManuelBioethanol burners are becoming increasingly popular across Europe, often valued primarily for their aesthetic appeal; however, their potential role in household energy systems and their influence on the indoor environment have been largely overlooked. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of burner design, burner opening area regulation, fuel quality, and initial fuel dose on key operational and environment...
Comprehensive analysis of particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, and microbiol...
Furst, Leonardo; Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Galindo, Nuria; Yubero, Eduardo; Viegas, Carla; Pena, Pedro; Nunes, Teresa; Feliciano, Manuel; Alves, CéliaIndoor environmental quality is of utmost importance since urban populations spend a large proportion of their life in confined spaces. Supermarkets offer a wide range of products and services that are prone to emitting several air pollutants. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive characterisation of the indoor and outdoor air quality in a multinational supermarket, encompassing not only criteria paramete...
Seasonal variation in exposure to particulate matter among children attending d...
Charres, Isabella; Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Furst, Leonardo; Vicente, Estela D.; Casotti Rienda, Ismael; Lazaridis, Mihalis; Feliciano, Manuel; Alves, CéliaExposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with several adverse health outcomes. Studies indicate that children may be exposed to much higher concentrations of PM at school than in other environments. There exists very little data on the deposited dose of PM while children attend classes. This study was carried out in a school located near an industrial complex in Portugal and attended by children ...
Níveis atmosféricos e doses inaladas de material particulado (PM10) em ambiente...
Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Charres, Isabella Fandino; Furst, Leonardo; Ituamba, Joaquim; Leitão, Anabela; Alves, CéliaApesar dos muitos estudos sobre concentrações de material particulado em ambientes escolares em países desenvolvidos, o impacto dos poluentes atmosféricos nas crianças em idade escolar em África tem recebido relativamente pouca atenção. Neste estudo, as concentrações atmosféricas de material particulado com diâmetro aerodinâmico inferior a 10 µm (PM10) foram avaliadas em ambientes interiores e exteriores de qua...
Short-term exposure to PM10 and black carbon in residential microenvironments i...
Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Gamelas ou Carla A. Gamelas, Carla; Almeida, Susana Marta; Feliciano, Manuel; Alves, CéliaSeveral studies have evaluated PM concentrations in single specific microenvironments as a measure of exposure in the entire house. In this study, PM10 was monitored at the same time in three microenvironments (bedroom, living room, and kitchen) from three dwellings located in a small inland town of the Iberian Peninsula to assess whether exposure varies significantly between them. Real-time optical instruments...

Fandiño, Isabella; Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Furst, Leonardo; Komac, Benjamin; Terrádez, Juan; Feliciano, ManuelPeople have inhabited mountainous regions for generations, living with the dangers posed by drought, erosion, wildfires and landslides [1]. Currently, perceptions of natural hazards have improved, but increasing numbers of people visiting, traveling or inhabiting mountainous regions have experienced higher levels of risk as well as an increase in vulnerability in these territories [1]. The understanding of haza...

Respiratory deposition dose of PM2.5 and PM10 during night and day periods at a...
Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Furst, Leonardo; Feliciano, Manuel; Alves, CéliaInhalation of particulate matter (PM) has been extensively associated with the worsening and onset of cardiorespiratory diseases, being responsible for millions of deaths annually. Assessment of PM deposition in the human respiratory tract is critical to better understand the health risks from environmental exposure of vulnerable age groups. In this study, PM2.5 and PM10 day-night monitoring campaigns during th...
