Metal-ion zeolites obtained by chemical and mechanochemical methods as Fenton-l...
Costa, J. T.; Ivasiv, V.; Bertão, A. R.; Nunes, N.; Mestre, A. S.; Carvalho, A. P.; Baltazar, F.; Moreira, J. N.; Neves, Isabel C.; Martins, A.One of the critical steps for the development and health applications of inorganic nanoparticles is to exhibit high efficiency without inducing toxicity. In this work, metal-ion zeolites were developed to be used as Fenton-like catalysts for health applications. ZSM-5 and BEA zeolites were modified through chemical and mechanochemical methods to obtain nanomaterials with tuned particle size and texture. Charact...

Several pollution parameters can be used to analyse c...
Environmental inequalities in the municipality of Lisbon: Spatial analysis of c...
Silva, C. F. da.; Nunes, N.; Moro, S.; Henriques, J.; Sousa, A.; Sarroeira, R.Some inducing factors of climate change can be attributed to a set of pollution indicators, and the territorial distribution of pollution has repercussions on environmental inequalities. Based on the case study of Lisbon, we map some environmental inequalities and how they relate to the location of transport infrastructures, green spaces, and mobility practices. How is air pollution distributed inside Lisbon? W...
