Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Ceará (2003), master's degree in Marine Sciences from the Institute of Marine Sciences - LABOMAR / UFC (2005) and a PhD in Oceanography from the Federal University of Rio Grande (2011). Currently is a member of the SETAC-BRAZIL, researcher collaborator of several institutions and Associate Professor at the Federal University of São Paulo. Has experience in Biological and Chemical Oceanography, acting on the following topics: Environmental Chemistry, impacts produced by marine pollution, bio-idicators of marine pollution and marine ecotoxicology.

The contamination of Pernambuco coast by emulsified oil was characterized as a large-scale environmental disaster. In this sense, we are proposing a modern approach involving the evaluation of chemical parameters to characterize the degree of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), contaminants of high toxic potential in oil, to which species residing in these aquatic environ…
Coastal ecosystems have served as reservoirs for several contaminants and residues, creating challenges for sustainable development and environmental management. In this context, the pollution caused by marine litter has been raising concern among managers and scientists. These residues are defined as any type of manufactured solid material discarded in marine environments, resulting from…
Due to ecological and economic importance, mollusks are widely used as models in studies of environmental contamination and toxicology. These animals present wide geographic distribution, abundance, are easily sampled in the environment, have sedentary behavior and a high capacity to bioaccumulate contaminants. Studies using gastropods and bivalves have shown morphological alterations in …

Microplastics (MPs <5 mm) are ubiquitous in natural environments, being bioavailable to a core set of aquatic organisms, mainly filter-feeding bivalve molluscs. In addition to being appreciated in cooking, widely distributed and important in the assessment of environmental quality, these organisms have been used as sentinels of MPs contamination. Studies carried out by our research group …
Coastal aquatic systems and oceans are under systematic and continuous inputs of hazardous residues, leading to loss of biodiversity. Among the most reported contaminants in environmental matrices obtained in coastal areas, plastic has gained great relevance since it is the main component of solid waste. Additionally, high environmental persistence and potential toxicity make plastics one…
In 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans, as this is currently the most abundant material among marine litter (between 61 and 87%), besides having slow degradability in marine and coastal environments. The occurrence of plastic polymers can lead to aesthetic, economic, social and biological damages in coastal environments. Microplastics (MPs), of small dimensions (5mm), …
Environmental quality assessments are often required to estimate anthropogenic impacts on natural environments and guide management and public policies for the conservation of these areas. For this, measurement of contamination levels and effects has been performed using high complexity analytical determinations which often cannot be employed at low costs. Therefore, the use of indicator …
