The economic significance of the shrimp industry relies heavily on the comprehensive utilization of all of the shrimp’s parts. However, this importance is often threatened by common challenges such as disease and pollution, caused by prominent contaminants that are capable of exerting adverse effects either directly as physical pollutants or indire...

This research aims to study the effects of ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) food packaging. Main objectives include evaluating LDPE degradation and detecting UVC radiation using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) placed under LDPE samples. Results confirm accurate UVC detection after one hour of exposure, providing...

In this research, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using oxazepam (OZ) as a template molecule and was subsequently applied as a selective sorbent for the extraction of diazepam (DZP) and its metabolites in urine samples using an SPE cartridge. OZ, temazepam (TZ), nordiazepam (NZ) and DZP were ana...

The interaction between ultraviolet C radiation (UVC) and polystyrene (PS) materials has been investigated, particularly in post-packaging irradiation processes for healthcare applications. Effective UVC penetration through PS materials, regardless of their thickness (0.16 and 0.40 mm) has been observed. However, the penetration effectiveness co...

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are widely spread in the environment, generating significant concern due to their potential impact on environmental health. Marine species usually ingest plastic fragments, mistaking them for food. Many toxic compounds, such as plastic additives that are not chemically bound to the plastic matrix, can be r...

This paper describes a new methodology for carrying out quantitative extraction of cloxacillin from drinking and river water samples using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a selective sorbent for solid-phase extraction (MISPE). Several polymers were synthesized via thermal polymerization using cloxacillin as a template, methacrylic acid (MA...

This paper reports on the luminescence characterization of TLD-100 (LiF: Ti, Mg), TLD-200 (CaF2: Dy), TLD-400 (CaF2: Mn) and GR-200 (LiF: Mg, Cu, P) dosimeters exposed to electro beam, beta and ultraviolet C radiation -UVC-. All of them show high sensitivity to radiation regardless of whether it is ionizing or partially ionizing radiation based on...

2019): Analysis of total arsenic content in purchased rice from Ecuador. Czech J. Food Sci., 37: 00-00. Abstract: Natural and anthropogenic sources contribute to arsenic contamination in water and human food chain in Andean countries. Human exposure to arsenic via rice consumption is of great concern in countries where this crop is the dominant sta...

The presence of estrogens in environmental waters can cause adverse effects to aquatic organisms. In the last years, diverse researches have been focussed on the development of cost-effective methods for the removal of these compounds in water. In this paper, a series of methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate polymers with different monome...

Distance education programs in higher education are gaining popularity mostly due to the flexibility of the formative programs to fit all the requirements that brick-and-mortar educational institutions are not able to provide to students. However, quite often these distance programs report feelings of isolation, lack of self-direction and managemen...
Conference Paper
La Educación a Distancia en el ámbito universitario está ganando relevancia, en parte debido a la flexibilidad de sus programas formativos que permiten soslayar las restricciones de espacio-tiempo de los programas presenciales. Sin embargo, estos programas pueden generar sentimientos de aislamiento y una disminución de la motivación. El uso de meto...

New analytical strategies tend to automation of sample pre-treatment and flow analysis techniques provided a number of enhanced analytical methods allowing high throughput. Flow techniques are usually faster, more robust and more flexible than their batch equivalents. In addition, flow methods use less sample and reagent amounts and reduce analytic...

In the last decades, the assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons' exposure has generated great interest and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) has been commonly used as a biological indicator of exposure to PAHs in many studies in environmental and occupational health. In this research, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesised by precipita...

In this work we have developed a cost-effective method for the analysis of methyl mercury (MeHg) in seawater fish muscle. The novelty of this method lies in the use of microwave-assisted extraction with acidic solution (HCl), addition of toluene, and subsequent extraction with cysteine acetate solution where only MeHg is present because of its affi...

The estrogenic compound diethylstilbestrol (DES) is widely studied because of its potential endocrine disruption effects. The prohibition of the use of diethylstilbestrol as a growth promoter has not been enough to ensure the total disappearance of this compound from environmental matrices. Due to the low levels of DES present in the environment, p...
