Comparison of ambient airborne PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance and nitrogen dioxide ratios measured in 1999 and 2009 in three areas in Europe (Publications)
same pollutants were measured in each campaign (mass concentration of particles =2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5), PM2.5 absorbance (a marker for black carbon), and NO2) using the same methods except for [...] methods were validated against side-by-side chemiluminescence measurements. The levels of PM2.5 absorbance and PM2.5 were significantly lower (p
Inhibitors of adenosine consuming parasites through polymer-assisted N-acylation of N6-substituted 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosines (Publications)
A series of 30 adenosine derivatives with three different substituents at the N(6)-position were prepared in order to evaluate their potential to inhibit the pathogenic protozoa Plasmodium falciparum

line alkaloids, ancistrotanzanines A (5) and B (6), and the known compound ancistrotectoriline A (7). Ancistrotazanine A (5) represents a hitherto unprecedented 5,3'-coupling type between the naphthalene [...] isoquinoline portions, while 6 and 7 are 5,8'-coupled. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Compounds 5 and 6 showed good activities against [...] the pathogens of leishmaniasis and Chagas' disease, Leishmania donovani and...
Comparative antimalarial activities of six pairs of 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (peroxide dimers) and 1,2,4,5,7,8-hexaoxonanes (peroxide trimers) (Publications)
Six tetraoxanes had 50% inhibitory concentrations in the range of 10 to 100 ng/ml against Plasmodium falciparum, whereas the corresponding hexaoxonanes had minimal antimalarial activity. The lack of i

Given the more or less global spread of multidrug-resistant plasmodia, structurally diverse starting points for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malaria are urgently nee
Spatial variation of PM2.5, PM10, PM2.5 absorbance and PMcoarse concentrations between and within 20 European study areas and the relationship with... (Publications)
analyses the spatial variation of PM2.5. PM2.5 absorbance, PM10 and PMcoarse concentrations between and within 20 study areas across Europe. We measured NO2, NOx, PM2.5. PM2.5 absorbance and PM10 between October [...] highest average PM2.5 concentrations found in Turin and the highest PMcoarse in Heraklion. Street/urban background concentration ratios for PMcoarse (mean ratio 1.42) were as large as for PM2.5 absorbance (mean [...] those for PM2.5 (1.14) and PM10 (1.23), documenting the...
Development of land use regression models for PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM10 and PMcoarse in 20 European study areas; results of the ESCAPE project (Publications)
individual exposure for participants of cohort studies. Within the ESCAPE project, concentrations of PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM10 and PMcoarse were measured in 20 European study areas at 20 sites per area. GIS-derived [...] study area. The median model explained variance (R2) was 71% for PM2.5 (range across study areas 35%-94%). Model R2 was higher for PM2.5 absorbance (median 89%, range 56-97%) and lower for PMcoarse (median

Regarding 5G exposure, the average ambient levels of 5G tend to be relatively lower than older generations, while it is unclear how the exposure will develop in the future with increasing 5G use. The measured [...] is also known as “electrosmog”. The introduction of new mobile communication technologies like 5G (the 5th generation of mobile communication technology) has heightened the importance of informing the [...] backpack.
