Strawberry plant as a biomonitor of trace metal air pollution: a citizen scienc...
Gamelas ou Carla A. Gamelas, Carla; Canha, Nuno; Justino, Ana R.; Nunes, Alexandre; Nunes, Sandra; Dionísio, Isabel; Kertesz, ZsofiaA biomonitoring study of air pollution was developed in an urban-industrial area (Seixal, Portugal) using leaves of strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier) as biomonitors to identify the main sources and hotspots of air pollution in the study area. The distribution of exposed strawberry plants in the area was based on a citizen science approach, where residents were invited to have the plants...
An exploratory study for the implementation of the oxidative potential assessme...
Vicente, C.; Gonçalves, S.; Gamelas ou Carla A. Gamelas, Carla; Almeida, S. M.; Cabo Verde, S.; Bartolomeo, A. R.; Guascito, M. R.; Contini, D.Particulate matter (PM) is a harmful air pollutant that damages human health by inducing oxidative stress through the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative Potential (OP) is a proposed metric to measure PM's capacity to generate ROS (Almetwally et al., 2020; Jiang et al., 2019). This study aims to implement the OPDTT assessment methodology at C2TN (Portugal). A set of PM2.5 samples wa...
Perceção de risco numa amostra de bombeiros portugueses: como promover comporta...
Fialho, Mário; Nunes, Sandra Cristina Dias; Gamelas ou Carla A. Gamelas, CarlaIntrodução e Objetivo: Este estudo visa a análise da perceção de risco, por aplicação do paradigma psicométrico, e identificação dos fatores influenciadores, numa amostra de bombeiros portugueses. Investigou-se também a relação entre a perceção de risco e a adoção (auto-reportada) de comportamentos seguros. Materiais e métodos: Estudo exploratório, transversal, realizado através de um questionário online, numa ...

Canha, Nuno; Jafarova, Mehriban; Grifoni, Lisa; Gamelas ou Carla A. Gamelas, Carla; Alves, Luís C.; Almeida, Susana Marta; Loppi, StefanoUrban vegetable gardens are very often a feature of cities that want to offer their citizens a more sustainable lifestyle by producing their own food products. However, cities can have significant pollution levels (or pollution hotspots) due to specific sources of pollution, such as traffic. Among the various pollutants, microplastics (MPs) are emerging as a consensual concern due to the awareness of the enviro...
