Conventional wastewater treatment is insufficient to protect our water bodies from so-called micropollutants (or emerging contaminants), which have adverse effects such as reducing the diversity of bacteria and algae in running waters, modifications in the behavior and morphology of aquatic biota and interference with the hormonal system of wildlife and humans. In addition, due to less re…
Currently, Brazil, the largest producer of sugarcane, produces about 637 million tons of sugarcane in an area of 10 million hectares and produces about 25 million liters of alcohol and about 30 million tons of sugar. The State of São Paulo, the largest state producer, has an output of 337x106 tons and an area of 5 million of hectares. Previous studies have indicated that different concent…
The State of São Paulo leads the list of sugarcane cultivation, destined for sugar and ethanol production, with 4.515.360 hectares of cultived area. However, the use of herbicides and fertilizers during the different stages of sugarcane cultivation causes stream metals contamination such as copper , lead, chromium , nickel, manganese , magnesium , zinc and cádmium elements. In this areas …
The present research project aims to contribute to the SABESP-FAPESP Project (2020/09912-6) entitled "ATIVA-ETE: Evaluation of innovative technologies aimed at nitrogen and micropollutant removal in WWTPs", with the general objective of investigating the toxic effects (acute and chronic) of the mixture of 6 emerging organic micropollutants (triclosan, ibuprofen, diclofenac, atenolol, prop…
Antibiotics have been classified as substances of emerging interest and potentially toxic to aquatic biota, due to their high consumption, presence in hospital and domestic effluents, and freshwater. In this scenario, the present project aims to investigate the toxic effects of synthetic wastewater containing 12 antibiotics (7 sulfonamides and 5 fluoroquinolones) and hospital wastewater, …
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and microplastics (MP) are emerging contaminants that have been detected in water bodies in Brazil and the world and have adverse effects for aquatic biota. They can coexist in the aquatic environment, and due to the MP's ability to adsorb organic pollutants such as TBBPA, the toxic effect of the co-exposure for biota has been studied. In this project, acute …
Aedes aegypti is a mosquito species that is well adapted to urban environments and is known as a vector of disease-causing arboviruses such as dengue fever, urban yellow fever, Chikungunya and Zika. Arboviruses are transmitted to humans through hematophagy performed by females, which in turn, unlike other species, can feed more than once in the same gonotrophic cycle. It is important to e…
Diverse shredder chironomid species have been already described in Brazil, and studies with larvae species have pointed out that they manifest an important role in accelerating the biomass decomposition rates of leaf-litter species. Nonetheless, the effects of leaf-litter biomass availability in secondary production of adult shredder chironomids are unknown. This study will aim to estimat…
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of cases of mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika. All of these diseases have in common the Aedes aegypti mosquito as the main vector, and have been the target of study worldwide. This mosquito is highly adapted to urban conditions, resulting in its great development and dissipation in urban centers. The disea…
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is an emerging contaminant that has been detected in water bodies around the world and has adverse effects on aquatic biota. The toxic effect of the compound on the biota has recently been studied by ecotoxicology. In this project, acute and chronic ecotoxicity tests were carried out with two invertebrates native to Brazil, the oligochaete Allonais inaequalis…
The occurrence of antibiotics in freshwater has been documented worldwide, however, data on the neurotoxicity of these substances in the context of animal behavior are lacking. In this research proposal, the mechanisms associated with the alteration of the motor function of zebrafish larvae exposed to widely used antibiotics (sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones) will be analyzed, combining …
