Assessment of dimethyl sulphide odorous emissions released during the underground coal extraction in coal mine Velenje
Underground coal extraction at Coal Mine Velenje occasionally gives rise to odour complaints from local residents and irritates and disturbs the miners at work in the mine. This work describes a robust quantification of odorous emissions of mine sources and a model-based analysis aimed to establish a better understanding of …
Speciation of ruthenium-based candidate drugs for cancer treatment and copper as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis in human serum
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer represents the second leading cause of mortality, with almost 10 million deaths in 2020. A broad spectra of cancer treatments are being developed, among them are metal-based drugs. Consistent with the available data, platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapeutics are still widely used to treat …
Environmental impacts of building materials containing by-products from steel industry
Recycling and reuse of waste by-products from steel industry is a common practice worldwide, which is in the last decade becoming more and more established also in Slovenia. Wastes from steel-making industry can be reused as alternative materials to successfully replace natural raw materials in asphalt mixes and in numerous …
Speciation of aluminium in human serum by CIM® (Convective Interaction Media) monolithic chromatography and mass spectrometry
The toxicity, biological availability and mobility of aluminium (Al) depend on its chemical form. In order to understand toxicity and transport of Al in human body it is important to identify and quantify Al species present in human serum. This led to the development of sensitive and selective analytical methods …
