1. Sunscreen lotions in the dermatological prescription: review of concepts and controversies
Abstract The skin is regularly exposed to several environmental aggressions, including solar radiation, whose biological effects can induce sunburn, dyschromia, skin aging and cancer. Among the photoprotection measures, sunscreens comprise a relevant part of the strategy aimed to prevent solar radiation damage and, for effective action, the patient must adhe

2. Análise comparativa do custo de redes de abastecimento de água em setores urbanos verticais e horizontais
RESUMO Em razão do custo elevado de implantação das redes de distribuição de água em relação ao sistema de abastecimento, estudos referentes ao que influencia esse custo tornam-se essenciais. Parte significativa dele refere-se à complexidade na espacialização da rede e nas formas de ocupação territorial das áreas urbanas. No presente trabalho,

3. Mercury bioaccumulation, genotoxic and biochemical biomarkers reveal the health status of yellow-spotted Amazon River turtles (Podocnemis unifilis) in an environmental protection area in the Amazon
RESUMO Quelônios são considerados bons bioindicadores da qualidade ambiental. A avaliação do estado de saúde de populações de quelônios na Amazônia também é importante porque estes animais são tradicionalmente consumidos em grandes quantidades em comunidades ribeirinhas e em reservas de uso sustentável. O presente estudo avaliou a saúde de Podo

4. Predicting the potential distribution of aquatic herbaceous plants in oligotrophic Central Amazonian wetland ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aquatic herbaceous plants are especially suitable for mapping environmental variability in wetlands, as they respond quickly to environmental gradients and are good indicators of habitat preference. We describe the composition of herbaceous species in two oligotrophic wetland ecosystems, floodplains along black-water rivers (igapó) and wetlands upo

6. Zeolite-SPION Nanocomposite for Ammonium and Heavy Metals Removal from Wastewater
Minimizing the emission of industrial effluents and realizing the recovery/extraction of key elements such as the rare earths from low concentration solutions, or during water decontamination processes, are some of the biggest challenges of modern society. Accordingly, the preparation and characterization of a low cost recyclable and reusable superparamagnet

7. Evaluation and Geostatistical Study of Toxicological Risk by Water Ingestion with Al, Ba, Fe and Pb in Communities Close to Industrial Areas in the Brazilian Amazon
This study provides a risk assessment and risk maps related to the consumption of water contaminated by Al, Ba, Fe and Pb in an industrial area in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 120 samples of drinking water were collected from 26 locations in the municipality of Barcarena, Pará State. Multiple elements were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical

8. Occurrence of Pesticides Associated to Atmospheric Aerosols: Hazard and Cancer Risk Assessments
Since the 1950s, pesticides have been used in agriculture. The increase in their consumption has been observed in recent years. In this work, it was determined the concentration of pesticides in the atmosphere of São Paulo and Piracicaba cities (sugarcane plantation site) and the hazard quotients and cancer risk caused by inhalation of these compounds were

9. Correlations of rock mass classifications applied to ferruginous caves
Abstract For the Brazilian iron ore mines, the presence of caves presents a challenge, since most of them are located within the ore deposit. The National Environment Commission (CONAMA 347 Resolution/2004) establishes that the speleological heritage, as well as its area of influence, cannot sustain irreversible environmental impacts. The physical integrity

11. Emissões de poluentes atmosféricos em condições reais de pavimentação asfáltica: material particulado, black carbon e hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos
Intensive use of asphalt generates pollutants into the atmosphere which are harmful to the environment and worrying for occupational health. The application of asphalt products leads to emissions of significant concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and particulate matter (PM) to the atmosphere. This paper aims to assess the pollutant emis
