Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds comprised of two or more fused benzene rings arranged in various configurations. PAHs are widespread environmental… Expand
Analytical techniques for trace element analysis: an overview
Techniques for the analysis of trace elements have developed rapidly in response to the increasing need for accurate measurements at extremely low amount of contents in diverse matrices. We review… Expand
Measurement techniques for mercury species in ambient air
This review critically evaluates the measurement methodologies most commonly employed for the analysis of the various forms of mercury (Hg) in air. Emphasis is given to the three most common forms of… Expand

Abstract The monitoring of total gaseous mercury (TGM) concentrations together with other trace gases and meteorological parameters was made at hourly intervals over 2-year period (1 January 2010 to… Expand
Nanostructures and nanostructured substrates for surface—enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
We review the performance of various nanoscaled structures needed to support the propagation of the surface plasmons responsible for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and assess the potential… Expand
Unacylated ghrelin promotes adipogenesis in rodent bone marrow via ghrelin O-acyl transferase and GHS-R1a activity: evidence for target cell-induced acylation
