Zeider K, Manjon I, Betterton E, Saez A, Sorooshian A, Ramirez-Andreotta M
Environ Monit Assess . 2023 Sep; 195(10):1200. PMID: 37700111
Air pollution is one of the leading causes of death from noncommunicable diseases globally, and in Arizona, both mining activities and abandoned agriculture can generate erodible dust. This dust is...

Gil-Loaiza J, Field J, White S, Csavina J, Felix O, Betterton E, et al.
Environ Sci Technol . 2018 Apr; 52(10):5851-5858. PMID: 29701964
Environmental and health risk concerns relating to airborne particles from mining operations have focused primarily on smelting activities. However, there are only three active copper smelters and less than a...

Stovern M, Guzman H, Rine K, Felix O, King M, Ela W, et al.
Atmosphere (Basel) . 2017 Oct; 7(2). PMID: 29082035
Wind erosion, transport and deposition of windblown dust from anthropogenic sources, such as mine tailings impoundments, can have significant effects on the surrounding environment. The lack of vegetation and the...

Betterton E, Craig D
J Air Waste Manag Assoc . 2017 Jan; 49(11):1347-1354. PMID: 28072375
The stoichiometry of the reaction of aqueous ozone with sodium azide was studied at pH 12 (mainly) where a yellow metastable intermediate is observed. We propose that this is hypoazidite...

Youn J, Csavina J, Rine K, Shingler T, Taylor M, Saez A, et al.
Environ Sci Technol . 2016 Oct; 50(21):11706-11713. PMID: 27700056
This study examines size-resolved physicochemical data for particles sampled near mining and smelting operations and a background urban site in Arizona with a focus on how hygroscopic growth impacts particle...

Ramirez D, Ramirez-Andreotta M, Vea L, Estrella-Sanchez R, Wolf A, Kilungo A, et al.
Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2015 Sep; 12(9):11209-26. PMID: 26371028
Government-led pollution prevention programs tend to focus on large businesses due to their potential to pollute larger quantities, therefore leaving a gap in programs targeting small and home-based businesses. In...

Stovern M, Felix O, Csavina J, Rine K, Russell M, Jones R, et al.
Aeolian Res . 2015 Jan; 14:75-83. PMID: 25621085
Mining operations are potential sources of airborne particulate metal and metalloid contaminants through both direct smelter emissions and wind erosion of mine tailings. The warmer, drier conditions predicted for the...

Felix O, Csavina J, Field J, Rine K, Saez A, Betterton E
Chemosphere . 2014 Dec; 122:219-226. PMID: 25496740
Mining operations are a potential source of metal and metalloid contamination by atmospheric particulate generated from smelting activities, as well as from erosion of mine tailings. In this work, we...

Csavina J, Taylor M, Felix O, Rine K, Saez A, Betterton E
Sci Total Environ . 2014 Jul; 493:750-6. PMID: 24995641
Mining operations, including crushing, grinding, smelting, refining, and tailings management, are a significant source of airborne metal and metalloid contaminants such as As, Pb and other potentially toxic elements. In...
