The investigation of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and particulates absorbed on particle filters exposed to vehicle emissions at road level
… of this study is to determine the levels of potentially toxic elements (PTE) collected from cabin particle filters in and around Cork city. Cabin particle filters are used in motor vehicles to extract toxins from air coming through the ventilation system. A systematic study of pollutants …

Extraction methods for assessing the bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements in urban airborne particulate matter by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
… matter (PM), containing bioaccessible potentially toxic elements (PTE) has attracted attention due to potential human health risk. This study was to develop and assess the suitability of simplified bioaccessibility extraction test (SBET) and the stomach phase of unified bioaccessibility …

Biochar: for better or for worse?
… biochar has to increase concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTE) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil was investigated and contextualised. Results indicated limited environmental impacts in this regard. The capacity of biochar to interact with organic compounds was …
