Nitrogen compounds at Mexican and USA coasts on the Gulf of Mexico.

In recent decades, anthropogenic emissions in the Gulf of Mexico have caused a deterioration in air quality in surrounding areas, mainly due to particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Over this period, interest in reactive nitrogen compounds has increased due to their relationships to air quality and ecosystem impacts associated with atmospheric deposition. In this study we summarize air concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in ambient air and wet atmospheric deposition of nitrate and ammonium along the southern coast of the United States of America and eastern Mexico over the period 2017 to 2020.

Sulfur and nitrogen compounds in wet atmospheric deposition on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from 2003 to 2015.

The Gulf of Mexico region has important sources of acid rain precursors, located in all of the countries; U.S., Mexico and Cuba, and so it is very important to study the chemical composition of the wet atmospheric deposition in all coastal areas.

Study of the Chemotactic Response of Multicellular Spheroids in a Microfluidic Device.

We report the first application of a microfluidic device to observe chemotactic migration in multicellular spheroids. A microfluidic device was designed comprising a central microchamber and two lateral channels through which reagents can be introduced. Multicellular spheroids were embedded in collagen and introduced to the microchamber.
