Assessment of metal bioaccessibility from metal-bearing phases in indoor dust by SEM/EDS differential individual particle analysis
Miloš Miler
Geological Survey of Slovenia
Miloš Miler, PhD, is a research associate at the department of Mineral resources and environmental geochemistry at Geological Survey of Slovenia (GeoZS). Dr. Miler joined GeoZS as a young researcher in 2007 during his postgraduate study. He acquired his PhD in Geological sciences in the field of environmental mineralogy and geochemistry from the University of Ljubljana in 2012. His research is focused on micromineralogy and micromorphology of solid particles and metal pollutants in the environment and identification of their sources, applications of scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) in environmental mineralogy, geochemistry, environmental forensics and materials characterization and also meteorite research. In 2016, he was granted a 2-year postdoctoral research project by the Slovenian research agency and is currently involved in 4 ongoing projects. He authored or co-authored over 20 original scientific papers, 8 professional papers, 5 popular articles and 12 scientific conference contributions.Personal web page: http://sicris.izum.si/search/rsr.aspx?opt=1&lang=eng&id=32221Bibliography: http://izumbib.izum.si/bibliografije/Y20160805081533-29608.html
Abstract
Attic and household dusts burdened with toxic metals are hazardous to human health dependent on metal bioaccessibility. Since metals primarily occur as solid phases, bioaccessibility depends on their properties. The objective... [ view full abstract ]
