1. Environmental effects of leachate extracts from reclaimed asphalt pavement: determination of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and acute toxicity to Daphnia magna
RESUMO Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) has a variety of organic and inorganic compounds that can interact with the environment and promote deleterious effects on human health. This study investigated the potential toxicity of RAP through metal determination, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) analysis and acute toxicity tests with Daphnia magna. Leached

2. Characterization of Commercially Available Turmeric for Use in Pharmaceutical Products and Food Supplements
We addressed some physicochemical and biological differences in commercial turmeric, acquired from both handling pharmacies and stores selling natural products for quality assessment. For this, it was determined the melting point, antioxidant activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), antimicrobial activity via the agar disk-diffusion assay,

3. Interaction of Pb, Ni and Cd with Aquatic Humic Substances of Amazonian Blackwater Rivers
In this study, the extraction and characterization of aquatic humic substances (AHS) from two blackwater rivers in the Amazon basin was carried out in order to assess the seasonal effects in the AHS structure. In addition, an investigation of the complexing capacities (CC) of the structures containing the metal ions CdII, NiII and PbII was also done. The cha

4. 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

5. SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF NEW Cu (II), Co (II) AND Sn (II) COMPLEXES WITH THE SODIUM HYDROTRIS(2-MERCAPTOTHIAZOLYL)BORATE LIGAND
The emergence of antibiotic resistance among microbial pathogens is a serious public health problem, resulting in a constant need of discovering new antibiotics. For this purpose, we synthetized and determined the antimicrobial activity of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), and tin (Sn) complexes coordinated with scorpionate ligand in a tridentate mode against microo

6. Characterization of the solid residue generated in the detoxification step of sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate and behavior in agricultural soils
ABSTRACT Overliming is an effective way of neutralizing and reducing the toxicity of the hydrolysates generated from acidic pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass for ethanol production and others biotechnological products. Overliming generates a solid residue whose inadequate disposal may represent an environmental problem. This work aimed at the chemical

7. Evaluation of the embryotoxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) of the flocculant and coagulant compounds used for water remediation
Resumo Objetivo: O carreamento decorrente das atividades de mineração atinge corpos d'água, causando contaminação da água e acidificação por metais tóxicos. Como conseqüência, a depleção de oxigênio ocorre, com o desaparecimento de certos organismos bênticos, perdas na biomassa do fitoplâncton e do zooplâncton, e mortalidade de peixes. Rem

8. Avaliação química, ecotoxicológica e genotoxicológica de águas de cavas de mineração a céu aberto
RESUMO Lagos artificiais formados em áreas de mineração a céu aberto são unidades complexas e se constituem em passivos ambientais emergentes advindos da indústria da mineração. Embora estejam aumentando em número em várias partes do globo, são um problema ambiental recente e ainda pouco estudado, especialmente no tocante à qualidade e à toxicid

9. Brassinosteroids Reciprocates Heavy Metals Induced Oxidative Stress in Radish by Regulating the Expression of Key Antioxidant Enzyme Genes
ABSTRACT Heavy metal toxicity in plants lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidant enzyme system is also not able to revert altered ROS homeostasis. The present study reports the heavy metal induced ROS toxicity by up-regulating the expression of key antioxidant enzyme genes through Brassinosteroids pre-soaking treatment in radish.

10. Anticorrosive Effect of PVP 40000 Against AISI 1020 Carbon Steel in HCl
Polymers have received considerable attention for replacing synthetic inorganic and organic anti-corrosion inhibitors since they are not as toxic for the environment, besides being cheaper. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has been studied due to its applicability, solubility, very low toxicity, cost and efficiency in corrosion inhibition against metals, such as z

11. Synergistic antibacterial effect of statins with the complex {[1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-phenyltriazene N 3 -oxide-κ 2 N 1 ,O 4 ](dimethylbenzylamine-κ 2 C 1 ,N 4 )palladium(II)}
Abstract The treatment of infections caused by resistant microorganisms represents a big challenge in healthcare due to limited treatment options. For this reason, the discovery of new active substances which are able to perform innovative and selective actions is of great impact nowadays. Statins and triazenes (TZC) have consolidated as a promising class of

12. ESPECIAÇÃO DINÂMICA DE METAIS TRAÇO EM AMBIENTE AQUÁTICO USANDO CRONOPOTENCIOMETRIA DE REDISSOLUÇÃO ANÓDICA
The contamination of natural environments by trace metals has several adverse effects on human health, which is mainly due to the high toxicity, persistence and reactivity of these species in the environment. To understand the bioavailability of trace metals, it is necessary to know the speciation in equilibrium and the dynamic behavior of the system. In thi
