Breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as biomarkers for the diagnosis of pat...
Moura, Pedro Catalão; Raposo, Maria; Vassilenko, ValentinaPublisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors; Normal and abnormal/pathological status of physiological processes in the human organism can be characterized through Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted in breath. Recently, a wide range of volatile analytes has risen as biomarkers. These compounds have been addressed in the scientific and medical communities as an extremely valuable metabolic window. Once collect...
Long-term in situ air quality assessment in closed environments
Moura, Pedro Catalão; Vassilenko, ValentinaThe authors acknowledge NMT. S. A. for supplying the GC-IMS device and additional resources. Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2023.; Contemporary life is mostly spent in indoor spaces like private houses, workplaces, vehicles and public facilities. Nonetheless, the air quality in these closed environments is often poor which leads to people being exposed to a vast range of toxic and hazardous compounds. Vol...
