A method to derive the relationship between the annual and short-term air quality limits—Analysis using the WHO Air Quality Guidelines for health protection
Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) Air Quality Guidelines (AQG) were launched in 2006, but gaps remain in evidence on health impacts and relationships between short-term and annual AQG needed for health protection. We tested whether...

Langasite crystal microbalance frequency behavior over wide gas phase conditions for chemical vapor deposition
Abstract The frequency behavior of the langasite crystal microbalance (LCM) was studied, by measuring density and viscosity of gas mixtures consisting of inactive and reactive gases, such as nitrogen, hydrogen, trichlorosilane and monomethylsilane...

Tracing Surface Water Infiltration in Fractured Rocks with Environmental Isotopes: A Case Study of the Former Balangero Asbestos Mine (Northern Italy)
Abstract A semi-quantitative evaluation of the contribution of lake water to streams, springs, and groundwater circulating in the fractured rocks hosting the former Balangero asbestos mine was performed using stable isotopes of the water molecule....

High-Salinity Seawater-Derived Fluids and Lower-Crust Hydrothermal Mineralization at the Vema Lithospheric Section, Central Atlantic
Abstract We reconstructed a magmatic-hydrothermal transition in gabbros spatially associated with mantle peridotites from the Vema Lithospheric Section. The presence of titanian pargasite suggests the reaction of an early augite-plagioclase...

Water-Rock Interaction in CO2 Sequestration in a Depleted Oil Reservoir Pilot Test
Abstract A field test of CO2 sequestration in the Neogene Minghuazhen Formation in the Bohai Bay Basin (BBB-Nm test) is presented, where the first Chinese pilot project of CO2 storage in a depleted oil reservoir was implemented. A total of 305 t CO2 ...
