13 p, 1.3 MB Does urban particulate matter hinder COVID-19 transmission rate? / Peñuelas, Josep (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Fernández-Martínez, Marcos (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Cobo, Sandra (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Badiella Busquets, Llorenç (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Sardans i Galobart, Jordi (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global health, with millions of people affected by the disease. Recent studies have shown that environmental factors such as air quality, temperature, and humidity can impact the survival and transmission of the virus, leading to differences in the rate of spread and severity of the disease in different regions.

At city level, personal monitoring is the best way to assess people's exposure. However, it is usually estimated from a few monitoring stations. Our aim was to determine the exposure to black carbon (BC) and BC dose for 45 schoolchildren with portable microaethalometers and to evaluate the relationship between personal monitoring and fixed stations at schools (indoor and outdoor) and in an urban background (UB) site.

16 p, 1.3 MB Determination of EC₅₀ values for Cu, Zn, and Cr on microorganisms activity in a Mediterranean sandy soil / Carabassa, Vicenç (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Domene, Xavier (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Ortiz Perpiñà, Oriol (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Marks, Evan A. N. (Universidad de Burgos. Departamento de Química) ; Alcañiz, Josep M. (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
Ecotoxicity of three potentially toxic metals (PTM) (Cu, Zn, and Cr) in a slightly acidic sandy soil is tested using the soil respiration test (OECD-217) in order to determine EC₅₀ values for the carbon transformation activity of microorganisms. [...]

39 p, 752.9 KB The Critical levels of atmospheric ammonia in a Mediterranean holm-oak forest in North-Eastern Spain / Aguillaume Rodríguez-O'connor, Laura (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Àvila i Castells, Anna (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Pinho, Pedro (Universidade de Lisboa. Centro de Ecologia, Evolução and Environmental Changes) ; Matos, Paula (Universidade de Lisboa. Centro de Ecologia, Evolução and Environmental Changes) ; Llop, Esteve (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals) ; Branquinho, Cristina (Universidade de Lisboa. Centro de Ecologia, Evolução and Environmental Changes)
Despite recent regulations, atmospheric ammonia (NH₃) emissions have not changed much over the last decades and excessive nitrogen remains as one of the major drivers for biodiversity changes. To prevent deleterious effects on species and ecosystems, it is very important to establish safety thresholds, such as those defined by the Critical Level (CLE) concept, "the concentration above which direct adverse effects on receptors may occur, based on present knowledge.
