Guidi, Patrizia; Corsolini, Simonetta; Bernardeschi, Margherita; Rocco, Lucia; Nigro, Marco; Baroni, Davide; Mottola, Filomena; Scarcelli, Vittoria; Santonastaso, Marianna; Falleni, Alessandra; Della Torre, Camilla; Corsi, Ilaria; Pozo, Karla; Frenzilli, Giada (2018-01)The Gulf of Follonica (Italy) is impacted by the chemical pollution from ancient mining activity and present industrial processes. This study was aimed to determine the bioavailability of dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) in ... -
Levels and spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments from Lenga Estuary, central Chile
Pozo, Karla; Perra, Guido; Menchi, Valentina; Urrutia, Roberto; Parra, Oscar; Rudolph, Anny; Focardi, Silvano (2011)The Lenga Estuary is a small brackish wetland located southwest of San Vicente Bay, Region VIII, Chile. Surface sediment from nine sites in the estuary were analysed for PAHs and compared to Sediment Quality Guidelines ... -
Levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in sediments from Lenga estuary, central Chile
Pozo, Karla; Urrutia, Roberto; Mariottini, Michela; Rudolph, Anny; Banguera, Julieth; Pozo, Katerine; Parra, Oscar; Focardi, Silvano (2014)Superficial sediments from Lenga estuary in the VIII region of central Chile were analysed for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Organic carbon (OC) analysis was also performed and the statistical ... -
Multicompartmental analysis of POPs and PAHs in Concepciόn Bay, central Chile: Part I – Levels and patterns after the 2010 tsunami
Pozo, Karla; Gómez, Victoria; Přibylová, Petra; Lammel, Gerhard; Klánová, Jana; Rudolph, Anny; Ahumada, Ramón (2022)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in abiotic samples from Concepción Bay in Central Chile. Samples were soxhlet extracted and injected in gas chromatography–mass ... -
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Concepción Bay, central Chile after the 2010 Tsunami
Pozo, Karla; Kukučka, Petr; Vaňková, Lenka; Přibylová, Petra; Klánová, Jana; Rudolph, Anny; Banguera, Julieth; Monsalves, Javier; Contreras Quintana, Sergio; Barra, Ricardo; Ahumada, Ramón (2015)PBDEs (10 congeners) were analyzed using GC–MS in superficial sediments and organisms of the Concepción Bay after the 2010 Tsunami. From all congeners analyzed PBDE-47, -99, -100 and -209 were the most frequently detected. ... -
