Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) passive samplers were deployed in upland surface waters and the overlying atmosphere during May June 2012, to determine transport trends of freely dissolved gaseous organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) along altitudinal gradients mountain regions south southeast Brazil. Gaseous OCP concentrations dominated by hexachlorobenzene (3.0-29 pg m(-3)) endosulfans (Ʃ = α-endosulfan + β-endosulfan endosulfan sulphate, 170-260 m(-3)), whereas significantly higher than all...
Our main goal was to investigate the potential accumulation of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in agricultural soils over extended periods land use, predicting leaching and estimating risk quotients for soil microorganisms. Short long-term poultry litter fertilization (<1-30 years) were evaluated enrofloxacin (ENR) ciprofloxacin (CIP) input, addition emergence plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes. High FQs concentration (range 0.56-100 mg kg-1) measured samples. In soils, occurrence...
As part of the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) Network, this study investigates occurrence and transport Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in mountainous regions southern southeastern Brazil. Measurements polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) atmosphere were made along altitudinal gradients at Serra dos Orgaos national park (Rio de Janeiro state) Sao Joaquim (Santa Catarina over summer (December to March) winter (June August) periods 2007 2008....
Policiclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) are considered priority organic pollutants in environmental researches. Some of these substances can be mutagenic and tumors precursors biologic systems. PAH formed exclusively by carbon hydrogen atoms consisting two or more fused aromatic rings arrangements. originated from incomplete burning matter leading different physics factors as temperature pressure parameters. transported mainly through fine particles atmosphere aquatic environment reach...
In southeastern Brazil, particular altitudinal grassland ecosystems, known as campos de altitude, occur at mountainous summits that host an outstand level of biodiversity and endemism. However, despite being environmentally protected areas, several studies have shown their susceptibility to the impacts climate changes airborne pollution. Previous highlighted semivolatile organic contaminants, such organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), present higher atmospheric concentrations along gradients can...
ABSTRACT This is the first study to investigate mercury (Hg) contamination in felid species Brazilian Amazon. We collected 26 fur samples from wild felids of four (Puma concolor, Panthera onca, Leopardus pardalis and wiedii) occurring Mamirauá Amanã sustainable development reserves, state Amazonas. Samples were museum specimens, except for five P. onca free-living individuals. Total Hg concentrations ranged 0.12 48.1 µg g-1. Concentrations did not differ significantly between specimens live...
Poultry litter soil application contributes to sustainability of agricultural systems and is in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG). recommended rates are based on crop nitrogen (N) needs, however, their can be a potential source antibiotics trace elements overload. The aim study was estimate role poultry contamination by fluoroquinolones [enrofloxacin (ENR) ciprofloxacin (CIP)] elements, N requirements for crops. Analytical sampling techniques were used...
