Bacterial diversity in house dust: Characterization of a core Indoor microbiom
Thompson, Jonathan R.; Argyraki, Ariadne; Bashton, Matthew; Bramwell, Lindsay; Crown, Matthew; Hursthouse, Andrew S.; Jabeen, KhadijaOur indoor microbiome consists of a wide range of microbial taxa. Whilst many of these microbes are benign, some are beneficial, some harmful, yet our knowledge of the spatial heterogeneity of bacterial assemblages in our residential environment remains limited. To investigate the existence of a common core house dust bacterial microbiome we selected household vacuum dusts, collected through a citizen science a...
The influence that different urban development models has on PM2.5 elemental an...
Polezer, Gabriela; Oliveira, Andrea S.; Potgieter-Vermaak, Sanja; Godoi, Ana Flávia Locateli; Souza, Rodrigo Augusto Ferreira de; Yamamoto, Carlos ItsuoLimited studies have reported on in-vitro analysis of PM2.5 but as far as the authors are aware, bioaccessibility of PM2.5 in artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF) has not been linked to urban development models before. The Brazilian cities Manaus (Amazon) and Curitiba (South region) have different geographical locations, climates, and urban development strategies. Manaus drives its industrialization using the free ...

Godoi, Ricardo H.M.; Polezer, Gabriela; Borillo, Guilherme C.; Brown, Andrew; Valebona, Fabio B.; Silva, Thiago O.B.; Ingberman, Aline B.G.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:02:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-08-01; Although the particulate matter (PM) emissions from biodiesel fuelled engines are acknowledged to be lower than those of fossil diesel, there is a concern on the impact of PM produced by biodiesel to human health. As the oxidative potential of PM has been suggested as trigger for adverse health effects,...
