1. Assessment of Urban Contamination by Sewage in Sediments from Ipojuca River in Caruaru City, Pernambuco, Brazil
The Ipojuca River is considered the third most polluted river in Brazil due to the intense anthropogenic activities in the surrounding urban areas. The most important effluent is sewage discharge, which is responsible for considerable contamination. Traditional analyses (infrared spectroscopy, organic matter (OM), elemental analysis and granulometry) and adv

2. NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CHLOROPLAST PIGMENTS EXPOSED TO LEAD AND ALUMINUM: A META-ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT Toxic metals have become some of the main abiotic agents that influence the stress of organisms due to their numerous agricultural and industrial uses that result in bioaccumulation and toxicity at different levels, depending on the type and concentration in the environment. Aluminum and lead are present as a result of anthropogenic activities and c

3. Distribution of major and trace elements in bottom sediments of the Taquari River Basin, Caldas municipality (Brazil)
Resumo A Bacia do Rio Taquari, localizada no Complexo Alcalino de Poços de Caldas, na porção sul de Minas Gerais, está situada em uma antiga caldeira vulcânica. Devido às suas características químicas e radiológicas, é uma área de interesse econômico e mineral, além de abrigar diversos sistemas de flora e fauna. Nos seus arredores existem áreas

4. ORGANOCLORATED AND ORGANOPHOSPHORUS PESTICIDES IN THE PELOTAS RIVER SEDIMENT
ABSTRACT Aquatic sediments are widely used for the evaluation of anthropogenic contamination due to their ability to adsorb particles and contaminants, making them historical environmental archives. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the contamination of the Pelotas River sediments, at the border between the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do S

5. Potentially mobile of heavy metals on the surface sediments in tropical hyper-saline and positive estuaries
ABSTRACT Estuarine sediments represent important pools of trace metals, released from both anthropogenic and natural sources. Fluctuations in the water column physicochemical conditions, on the other hand, may transfer metals from solid to liquid compartment and resulting in contamination of the surrounding environment. The present research was carried out t

6. Background and Reference Values of Metals in Soils from Paraíba State, Brazil
ABSTRACT Soil contamination by heavy metals threatens ecosystems and human health. Environmental monitoring bodies need reference values for these contaminants to assess the impacts of anthropogenic activities on soil contamination. Quality reference values (QRVs) reflect the natural concentrations of heavy metals in soils without anthropic interference and

7. Schistosomiasis mansoni in urban Northeast Brazil: influence of rainfall regime on the population dynamics of Biomphalaria sp.
Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the influence of rainfall regime on the population dynamics of Biomphalaria in a potential urban focus of schistosomiasis in Aracaju, Brazil, during 2009-2010. Methods Snails were collected monthly and were counted, measured and identified; the level of infection and fecal contamination at the sampling sites was

8. Ardra profiles of bacteria and archaea in mangrove sediments with different levels of contamination in the estuarine complex of Paranaguá, Brazil
The mangrove's sediments from the coastal areas under human activities may contain significant contaminations by hydrocarbons, even when there are no visual evidences of it. The microorganisms are essential to these ecosystems, especially in the control of their chemical environment. Sediment samples were collected in two regions under different environment

9. Avaliação da contaminação de córregos de Cerrado por metais pesados utilizando-se larvas de Odonata como bioindicadores / Assessment of heavy metal contamination in Brazilian savannas streams using Odonata larvae as bioindicators
The aquatic ecosystems are the main receptors of pollutants and contaminants from industrial and agricultural activities and of the discharge of sewage. Among the various substances potentially harmful, heavy metals are a threat to the aquatic ecosystems and the biota. This research aimed to evaluate the contamination of Cerrados streams by heavy metals usin

10. Acumulação de nutrientes e metais pesados em solo, água e hortaliças em áreas cultivadas com olerícolas no Agreste de Pernambuco. / Accumulation of nutrients and heavy metals in soil, water and fruits in areas cultivated with vegetables in the Agretes region of Pernambuco state.
Increasing world population elevates the demand for food. Then, it s a constant challenge to ensure food with quantity and quality appropriate. The management of soil fertility using fertilizers and controlling pests and weeds are necessary strategies for maintaining or increasing agricultural production. Agrochemicals are anthropogenic sources potentially p

11. Poluentes orgânicos persistentes na biota marinha do Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo / Persistents Organic Pollutants in marine biota of the São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago
Some oceanic islands, such as São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago may be considered remote areas and preserved due to its distance from the mainland. However, these areas are not exempt from the influence of anthropogenic agents from coastal regions, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This proposal aimed to determine the occurrence and distributio

12. Estudo sobre a evolução do aporte natural e antrópico de matéria orgânica para sedimentos de um sistema estuarino- lagunar tropical (Mundaú-Manguaba, Alagoas) utilizando lipídios como marcadores moleculares / Study on the evolution of natural and anthropogenic inputs of organic matter for sediments of a tropical lagoon-estuarine system (Mundaú-Manguaba, Alagoas) using lipids as molecular markers
This thesis presents a study on the accumulation of organic matter in the sediments of the complex estuarine lagoon Mundaú Manguaba (CELMM) using lipids (fatty acids, sterols and linear alcohols) as molecular markers to evaluate the sources (natural and anthropogenic) and spatial and temporal variation in the composition of sedimentary organic matter, as we
