Characterizing Atmospheric Emissions of Particulate Matter from Copper Smelting through Coriolis-μ Air Sampling and Single Particle ICP–MS Analysis
A J Goodman, H-E Ahabchane, P L Hayes, K J Wilkinson Environmental Science: Nano 2025, 12, 4994 – 5007 https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestair.5c00307 Abstract New methods of air sampling and analysis are needed to better understand atmospheric emissions from industrial sources. To close this knowledge gap, 80 air samples were collected around a copper smelter in Quebec using […] Lire la suite

Release of TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles from sunscreens into natural waters: detection and discrimination from natural particles using SP-ICP-ToF-MS
M Barabash, H-E Ahabchane, M Hadioui, K J Wilkinson Environmental Science: Nano 2025, 12, 4994 – 5007 https://doi.org/10.1039/D5EN00444F Abstract From an ecological risk perspective, it is important to differentiate engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) from naturally occurring nanoparticles (NNPs). The aim of this research was to characterize and quantify titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) that […] Lire la suite

Characterization of colloidal particles in soils, sediments and sludges by single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a comparative study using sector field and time-of-flight instruments
Li, Z., Hadioui, M. and Wilkinson, K.J. J. Analytical Atomic Spectrometry 2025, 40, 2487-2497 https://doi.org/10.1039/D5JA00181A Abstract Colloids and nanoparticles in solid phase environmental matrices (soils, sediments, sludges) are widely heterogenous and polydisperse, which complicates their sampling and characterization by bulk analysis techniques. Indeed, techniques based upon single particle measurements are better equipped for identifying important, […] Lire la suite
