1. Trace analysis of environmental endocrine disrupting contaminant bisphenol A in canned, glass and polyethylene terephthalate plastic carbonated beverages of diverse flavors and origin
Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is a hazardous contaminant demonstrating endocrine disrupting properties, and assumed to be involved in the pathogenesis of various cancer diseases for instance prostate, lung and breast cancer. The objective of the present study was to estimate the BPA amounts in carbonated beverages from the Saudi Arabian market for the first tim

2. Metal Distribution in the Environmental Compartments of Manguaba Lagoon (Alagoas State, Brazil)
The metal concentrations in water, sediments and mollusks (Tagelus plebeius) of the Manguaba Lagoon and the influence of humic substances from water and sediments in the distribution of these metals were investigated in this work. The mean metal concentrations in water were: Mg (89.0 ± 0.11), Ca (32.0 ± 0.10), Fe (0.97 ± 0.02), Mn (0.52 ± 0.01), Zn (0.33

3. Influência da compactação do solo sobre a produção e o potencial poluidor de lixiviados de resíduos sólidos urbanos
RESUMO No Brasil, a disposição final de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) representa um risco ambiental em função da geração de lixiviados com altas cargas contaminantes, mesmo em aterros sanitários. Objetivou-se no presente estudo, em escala experimental, avaliar a influência de diferentes graus de compactação do solo (GC) nas camadas intermediári

4. Dredging impact on trace metal behavior in a polluted estuary: a discussion about sampling design
ABSTRACT Studies involving coastal sediment resuspension have shown that trace metals could be released to the water column due to changes in physical-chemical conditions. Therefore, if environmental agencies adopt screening protocols with insufficient evaluations of contaminant mobilization risks for a given area, the prediction of environmental impacts cau

5. MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL FOR PRODUCTION OF ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL IN A HYDROTREATING PROCESS
ABSTRACT There is a continual desire around the world to reduce the sulphur content of diesel fuel to ultra-low levels (below 10 ppm) due to environmental concerns and the intention of improving air quality and lowering harmful exhaust emissions of diesel engines. In this work, a hydrodesulfurization unit fed with multiple diesel streams was addressed using

6. Análise estatística da caracterização gravimétrica de resíduos sólidos domiciliares: estudo de caso do município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais
RESUMO Parte dos resíduos coletados nos municípios brasileiros ainda são destinados de forma inadequada, resultando em transtornos à qualidade de vida e à saúde pública. Assim, a caracterização gravimétrica dos resíduos é um importante instrumento de gestão integrada, uma vez que permite conhecer quantitativamente as frações geradas. Nesse sen

7. Beta-glucan prevents toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in terms of oxidative and histopathological damage in heart tissue of rats
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a widespread environmental contaminant which causes severe toxic effects. Despite there is some suggestion concerning with TCDD induced cardiotoxicity such as formation of free radicals, the main mechanism has not been entirely explained. Beta-glucan is known as strong antioxidant matter and can scavenge free rad

8. Lycopene Protects the Diabetic Rat Kidney Against Oxidative Stress-mediated Oxidative Damage Induced by Furan
Furan is a food and environmental contaminant and a potent carcinogen in animals. Lycopene is one dietary carotenoid found in fruits such as tomato, watermelon and grapefruit. The present study was designed to explore the protective effect of lycopene against furan-induced oxidative damage in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat kidney. At the end of th

9. High-throughput nucleotide sequence analysis of diverse bacterial communities in leachates of decomposing pig carcasses
The leachate generated by the decomposition of animal carcass has been implicated as an environmental contaminant surrounding the burial site. High-throughput nucleotide sequencing was conducted to investigate the bacterial communities in leachates from the decomposition of pig carcasses. We acquired 51,230 reads from six different samples (1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and

10. Simulation of Rocket Exhaust Clouds at the Centro de Lançamento de Alcântara Using the WRF-CMAQ Modeling System
ABSTRACT: In this work we report numerical simulations of the contaminant dispersion and photochemical reactions of rocket exhaust clouds at the Centro de Lançamento de Alcântara (CLA) using the CMAQ modeling system. The simulations of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen chloride (HCl) and alumina (solid Al2O3) pollutants emission represent an effort in the con

11. Approaches towards tick and tick-borne diseases control
Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals as well as humans, considered to be second worldwide to mosquitoes as vectors of human diseases. Tick-borne diseases are responsible worldwide for great economic losses in terms of mortality and morbidity of livestock animals. This review concerns to the different tick and tick-para

12. Toxicological evaluation of vegetable oils and biodiesel in soil during the biodegradation process
Vegetable oils and their derivatives, like biodiesel, are used extensively throughout the world, thus posing an environmental risk when disposed. Toxicity testing using test organisms shows how these residues affect ecosystems. Toxicity tests using earthworms (Eisenia foetida. are widespread because they are a practical resource for analyzing terrestrial org
