Polystyrene (PS) is one of the main synthetic polymers produced around world, and it present in composition a wide variety single-use objects. When released into environment, these materials are degraded by environmental factors, resulting microplastics. We investigated ability
Extracting microplastics from sediment is critical in assessing pollution freshwater environments. However, this process can be particularly challenging for clayey sediments with a significant organic matter content. This study proposes simplified method extracting organic-rich and complete protocol processing. To evaluate the extraction method, calcined was artificially enriched varying content (20, 40, 60%). Known quantities of plastic particles distinct characteristics compositions (PET,...
The presence of microplastics in honey samples from a native Brazilian bee varied 0.1 to 2.6 particles per mL across urban and vegetated areas.
Plastic materials are increasingly present in our lives. It is estimated that more than 360 million tonnes of plastics produced annually worldwide. Particularly, single-use represent an important segment plastic production. In this context, contamination, and consequently microplastic release, has become a growing concern for aquatic ecosystems. study, we investigated the effects exposure to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics (<32 μm) on Chironomus sancticaroli larvae. The...
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic copolymer commonly used in the electronics, automotive, and construction industries. In aquatic environment, formation of microplastics from larger-sized plastic waste occurs naturally, induced by physical, chemical, biological processes that promote aging these particles. Here, we investigated interactions between freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca ABS (10–20 μm) (pristine after accelerated aging) over 7 days exposure. At end...
ABSTRACTFreshwater environments are especially susceptible to microplastic contamination due their proximity urbanised and industrial areas. Also, there is a lack of information about the effects this pollutant on freshwaters making it difficult conservation these environments. Benthic species, such as freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca, have been superficially studied so far for evaluation pollution. In present study, we analyzed whether polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics could...
We determined the antioxidant status of aqueous humor after extracapsular lens extraction in 14 mongrel dogs weighing about 10 kg. The animals were examined by slit lamp biomicroscopy, applanation tonometry and indirect ophthalmoscopy. One eye was submitted to conventional other used as control. Samples obtained anterior chamber paracentesis before at days 1, 2, 3, 7 15 surgery. Total capacity inhibit free radical generation 2,2-azobis(2-amidopropane) chlorine. Ascorbic acid concentration...
RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo consiste na avaliação da eficácia do uso de um índice estado trófico (IET) como ferramenta análise qualidade das águas três reservatórios. IET foi calculado baseado transparência reservatório e nas concentrações clorofila-a fósforo total (P total). Para identificar a correlação solo com poluição aquática represas, o para cada represa comparado ao mapeamento temático cobertura base em imagens satélite Landsat TM 5 ano 2010.

Soil contamination by protozoan parasites and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) is common in beach sand due to a number of factors such as pets, pluvial water, garbage, etc. These pathogens may cause many diseases humans animals become public health problem. Thus, systematic evaluation inspection are necessary develop control strategies regarding contamination. For this purpose, our aims were evaluate the parasitic profile sandy soils on an urban untouched correlate with environmental...
