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. Evaluation of sediment contamination by urban sewage in a stretch of Capibaribe River, Pernambuco, Brazil
Anthropic activities are responsible for the increase in environmental contamination, especially in aquatic systems, demanding studies to assess and monitor contamination levels in different water bodies. We have done a chemical characterization of eleven sediments in order to evaluate the level of contamination by domestic sewage from the Capibaribe River,

3. Metal Distribution in the Environmental Compartments of Manguaba Lagoon (Alagoas State, Brazil)
The metal concentrations in water, sediments and mollusks (Tagelus plebeius) of the Manguaba Lagoon and the influence of humic substances from water and sediments in the distribution of these metals were investigated in this work. The mean metal concentrations in water were: Mg (89.0 ± 0.11), Ca (32.0 ± 0.10), Fe (0.97 ± 0.02), Mn (0.52 ± 0.01), Zn (0.33

4. Determining Mercury in Sediment Samples by Extraction Using a Novel-Chelating Reagent Dithiothreitol (DTT) Followed by Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (CV-AFS)
A new analytical protocol has been developed for the determination of mercury in surface sediments using dithiothreitol (DTT) as a new chelating reagent for the extraction. This protocol requires a small sample mass (250 mg), 4.0 mL of a 0.1 M (pH = 9.0) aqueous DTT solution, and sonication for 30 min, followed by cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry

5. ANÁLISE ESPECTROSCÓPICA DA MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NO SEDIMENTO SUPERFICIAL DA BAÍA DE SEPETIBA, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL
Spectroscopic techniques are powerful tools for molecular organic matter assessment in sediments, which analysis request low sample mass and are cheap, fast and easy to obtain. The aim of this work was to evaluate the elemental (C, N) and molecular composition of the organic matter in relation to the grain-size distribution over surface sediments from Sepeti

6. Radionuclídeos como marcadores de um novo tempo: o Antropoceno
On May 2019, the members of the Anthropocene Working Group completed a binding vote to affirm some of the key questions that have been agreed in 2016: the Anthropocene should be considered as a formal chronostratigraphic unit, defined by a Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), using one of the stratigraphic signals around the mid-twentieth cen

7. Spatial and Temporal Effects of Decommissioning a Zinc Smelter on the Sediment Quality of an Estuary System: Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was home to a zinc smelter until its shutdown in 1998, and during 2011 the remains of the smelter were decommissioned. This study investigates the impact of decommissioning on metal concentrations in the bottom sediments of the bay. In addition to Zn and Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb are also quantified. The results show that ov

8. The Tatuí Formation as a source of raw material in the ceramic pole of Santa Gertrudes (SP)
Abstract The importance of the Santa Gertrudes Ceramic Complex (SGCC) in the ceramic market is directly associated with the high quality of the Corumbataí Formation clays used in the manufacture of its products. Although the volumetric capacity of the Corumbataí Formation is able to meet the SGCC demand for the coming years, its industries are always in se

9. Sporepolinic morphology of fluvial terrace sediments in the Western Amazon
ABSTRACT Morphological descriptions were made for pollen grains and spores extracted from samples from three sedimentary sections - Chandless 1, Purus 10 and Purus 30 - from fluvial terraces on the Chandless and Purus rivers, Acre State, Brazil. Level CH1-12 at Chandless 1 was C14-dated to 4861 - 5050 cal yr BP, P10-3 of Purus 10 was dated through the OSL me

10. Estimation of mercury released from an abandoned gold mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract Mining is very important to the economic, political and social development of the Minas Gerais State in Brazil ever since the time the country became a Portuguese colony in the early 1500s. However, few researches have been conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the mining activity at this time. There are many abandoned mine

11. Cell damage induced by polybrominated diphenyl ethers on Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Abstract Histological effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were observed in Chironomus sancticaroli larvae which underwent acute exposure. 2,2′,4-triBDE (BDE-17), 2,2′,4,4′-tetraBDE (BDE-47) and 2,2′,4,4′,5-pentaBDE (BDE-99) were evaluated at 0.5, 2.0 and 20 μg L-1. Cytoplasm vacuolisation of oenocytes was observed in the larvae expos

12. White sand vegetation in an Amazonian lowland under the perspective of a young geological history
Abstract: What controls the formation of patchy substrates of white sand vegetation in the Amazonian lowlands is still unclear. This research integrated the geological history and plant inventories of a white sand vegetation patch confined to one large fan-shaped sandy substrate of northern Amazonia, which is related to a megafan environment. We examined flo
