1. AN ADAPTED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WATER SAMPLING
In this work an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was adapted to be used as an environmental tool to collect water samples of sea, estuary, and mangrove for further analysis by gas chromatography with a mass detector (GC-MS). The sampling automated system was based on a microcontroller, a solenoid valve, and a peristaltic mini-pump that was coupled to a quadcopt

2. Nitrogen Oxides Levels in the Atmosphere of Different Brazilian Urban Centers, by Passive Sampling
Urban air pollution is still an emerging environmental problem, it causes damage to health and is difficult to be controlled in urban centers. The population of large metropolises is often exposed to concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx), mainly due to vehicle emissions. Epidemiological studies claim that exposure to these oxides is strongly correlated wit

3. Microplastics in Latin America Ecosystems: A Critical Review of the Current Stage and Research Needs
The ubiquity of microplastics ecosystems has gained global attention. In this context, Latin America, which is responsible for 8% of the world’s consumption of plastic material and has a small recycling rate (4.5%), does not have enough data on microplastics contamination in its environmental matrices. This systematic review analyzed 196 studies from 16 te

4. Sampling techniques and environmental variables influence the distribution of pseudoscorpions in urban forest fragments in the central Amazon
RESUMO O crescimento das paisagens urbanas geralmente reduziu a biodiversidade em todo o mundo. Os invertebrados exploram diferentes ambientes, e geralmente são necessárias diferentes técnicas de amostragem para obter uma amostra representativa da assembleia de espécies em um determinado local. Alguns estudos têm buscado determinar o número mínimo nec

5. Avaliação da concentração e composição inorgânica do material particulado coletado no estado do Rio de Janeiro
Cities urbanization and modernization increase emission sources, contributing to particulate matter (PM) composition heterogeneity and enhance the risk to human health and environment. This paper intends to survey the studies on particulate matter carried out in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The sampling of PM is generally made using Hi-Vol samplers to collec

6. Diseases and disorders associated with different stages of crop development and factors that determine the incidence in Hass avocado crops
ABSTRACT Hass avocado production systems in Colombia have increased to become the third largest area planted for fruit production. A number of factors that limit productivity such as diseases have become of high economic importance. The objectives of this study were to identify the causal agents associated with pathologies in Hass avocado crops in different

7. Using static, kinetic and metal mobility procedures to evaluate possibilities of coal waste land disposal at Moatize Mine, Mozambique
Abstract Coal mine waste rocks produced during mining and beneficiation can affect the environment due to land degradation and acid mine drainage generation. However, proper characterization and treatment of mineral processing wastes creates options for safe disposal, enhancing the environmental performance. The aim of this study was to use static and kineti

8. Geostatistics or machine learning for mapping soil attributes and agricultural practices
ABSTRACT Applying the upcoming technologies in agriculture has been a major economic, environmental and social challenge for scientists and farmers. In order to overcome such challenge, this study evaluated the advantages and limitations of using geostatistics and machine learning for soil mapping in agricultural practices and soil surveys. The study occurre

9. Evaluation of environmental rehabilitation practices in bauxite mining at the plateau of Poços de Caldas
Abstract Bauxite mining has been carried out around Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, since the 1940s. Companies operating in the region pioneered land rehabilitation in Brazil, conducted since the early 1980s. Different procedures of recontouring, runoff drainage, soil preparation and vegetation planting were employed. This research aims to evaluate current e

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

12. Relationship between phytoplankton structure and environmental variables in tropical reservoirs with different trophic states
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton structure is influenced by environmental factors, seasonal cycles and the trophic state of the system. The objective of the present study was to identify guilds of phytoplankton species that are representative of seasonality and trophic status. We evaluated phytoplankton biomass and species composition in five tropical reservoirs, with
