1. FATORES DE EMISSÃO E DE ENRIQUECIMENTO DA CROSTA PARA ELEMENTOS TRAÇO (MP2,5) EMITIDOS PELA FROTA VEICULAR NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE SÃO PAULO, BRASIL
Air pollution can cause several negative impacts on health and the environment. In large urban centers, this pollution is directly related to anthropogenic activities, mainly activities in the transportation sector. This study analyzed data on black carbon, fine particulate material (PM2.5) and its main trace elements from automotive vehicles (S, P, K, V, Cr

2. Growing-city pollution and sanitation: causality and evidence from major cities of southwestern Nigeria
Resumo O aumento da poluição em cidades em crescimento é vista como uma incapacidade de existência de instalações de infraestrutura para suportar a crescente população de seres humanos ou animais que vivem nesse ambiente. O tema da poluição das cidades em crescimento no mundo tem se destacado nas discussões acadêmicas. No entanto, não se tem dad

3. Zn, Co, Cr, As, and genotoxic effects in the ichthyofauna species from polluted and non-polluted/protected estuaries of the São Paulo coast, Brazil
Abstract: The human impact on estuarine regions results in an increasing concentration of trace elements in the environment, exposing aquatic organisms. In this study, Zn, Co, Cr, and As were determined in the muscle tissue of some fish species from Santos-São Vicente (SSV), a recognized polluted region, and in the Cananeia estuary (CAN). Genotoxicity was a

4. Phenotypic Characterization and Synthesis of Extracellular Catecholase from a Newly Isolated Bacterium Pseudomonas sp. BSC-6
Abstract Catecholase (EC 1.10.3.1), an oxidoreductase enzyme is a key member of polyphenol oxidase family which catalyze the degradation of catechol. This enzyme possesses vast applications in diverse areas and is found in bacteria, fungi, mushrooms, higher plants, arthropods, amphibians and mammals. Catechol, a phenolic compound, is used as a starting mate

5. Physicochemical, microbiological and parasitological characterization of the filter backwash water from a water treatment plant of Blumenau - SC and alternatives for treatment and reuse
Resumo A água de retrolavagem dos filtros (ARF) de estações de tratamento de água (ETA) é composta por resíduos da água bruta, produtos químicos e microrganismos. Seu descarte inadequado impacta negativamente o meio ambiente e a saúde da população humana. Objetivando caracterizar a ARF da ETA de Blumenau-SC, foram realizadas avaliações físico-q

6. Antifungal susceptibility of yeasts isolated from anthropogenic watershed
Abstract Yeasts are unicellular fungi widespread in the environment, and studies suggest that there is a positive correlation between yeast and polluted aquatic environments. The aim of this study was to analyze the diversity and resistance of yeasts isolated from water samples collected along the Arroio Dilúvio in Porto Alegre to antifungals. Yeast isolate

7. Study of pandrug and heavy metal resistance among E. coli from anthropogenically influenced Delhi stretch of river Yamuna
Abstract Escalating burden of antibiotic resistance that has reached new heights present a grave concern to mankind. As the problem is no longer confined to clinics, we hereby report identification of a pandrug resistant Escherichia coli isolate from heavily polluted Delhi stretch of river Yamuna, India. E. coli MRC11 was found sensitive only to tobramycin a

8. Temporal assessment of microbial communities in soils of two contrasting mangroves
ABSTRACT Variations in microbial communities promoted by alterations in environmental conditions are reflected in similarities/differences both at taxonomic and functional levels. Here we used a natural gradient within mangroves from seashore to upland, to contrast the natural variability in bacteria, cyanobacteria and diazotroph assemblages in a pristine ar

9. Comparative metagenome of a stream impacted by the urbanization phenomenon
Abstract Rivers and streams are important reservoirs of freshwater for human consumption. These ecosystems are threatened by increasing urbanization, because raw sewage discharged into them alters their nutrient content and may affect the composition of their microbial community. In the present study, we investigate the taxonomic and functional profile of th

10. Analysis for the presence of determinants involved in the transport of mercury across bacterial membrane from polluted water bodies of India
Abstract Mercury, which is ubiquitous and recalcitrant to biodegradation processes, threatens human health by escaping to the environment via various natural and anthropogenic activities. Non-biodegradability of mercury pollutants has necessitated the development and implementation of economic alternatives with promising potential to remove metals from the e

11. Efeito indireto dos aerossóis: observações em nuvens amazônicas em atmosfera poluída e na transição para limpa segundo os dados dos programas LBA/SMOCC/ENFIM! E AERONET/NASA. / Indirect effect of aerosols: observations in the Amazon clouds in polluted air and clean transition to the second program data LBA / SMOCC / AT LAST! And AERONET / NASA.
In the Brazilian Amazon, fires occur seasonally. The pollution generated because changes in time weather and climate of the Amazon. Studies have shown that the emission of particulate matter alters the radiative balance via direct effect (Solar radiation scattering and reflection.) and indirect aerosol (Increased concentration droplet and the cloud content l

12. The basin Imboassu in São Gonçalo (RJ) unit as enabler of environmental education in the context of planning and land management / A bacia do Rio Imboassu, no município de São Gonçalo (RJ) como unidade viabilizadora da educação ambiental no contexto do planejamento e gestão ambiental
Environmental problems are increasingly common and varying magnitudes and scales, affecting mainly the urban areas. Air pollution and water bodies, landslidesand floods are some of these adverse situations. São Gonçalo is no exception. Located in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, the city has exemplified with situations, especially in relation to
