GENOTOXICITY AND CYTOTOXICITY INDUCED IN VITRO BY AIRBORNE PARTICULATE MATTER (PM2.5) FROM AN OPEN-CAST COAL MINING AREA

This study evaluates the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of PM2.5 collected from an open-cast coal mining area in northern Colombia.Cyclohexane (CH), dichloromethane (DCM), and acetone (ACE) extracts were obtained using Soxhlet extraction to isolate compounds of different polarities.Human lymphocytes were exposed to the extracted compounds, and cyt

Understanding jellyfish ecology and roles in coastal ecosystems is challenging due to their patchy distribution.While standard net sampling or manned aircraft surveys are inefficient, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones represent a promising alternative for data collection.In this technical report, we used pictures taken from a small drone to
