2. Assessment of Urban Contamination by Sewage in Sediments from Ipojuca River in Caruaru City, Pernambuco, Brazil
The Ipojuca River is considered the third most polluted river in Brazil due to the intense anthropogenic activities in the surrounding urban areas. The most important effluent is sewage discharge, which is responsible for considerable contamination. Traditional analyses (infrared spectroscopy, organic matter (OM), elemental analysis and granulometry) and adv

4. Mapping of areas suitable for the application of biosolids in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero region, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract The recovery of degraded areas is imperative for the sustainability of mining activities. The main action implemented to improve the chemical, physical and biological conditions of soils, tailings and sterile deposits is the incorporation of organic material. Biosolids (hygienized sewage sludge) are among the organic materials that can be applied. H

5. WSOC and Its Relationship with BC, Levoglucosan and Transition Metals in the PM2.5 of an Urban Area in the Amazon
Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) makes up a large mass fraction of the organic carbon in the aerosol and can influence important cloud processes in the atmosphere. The capacity of WSOC to form metallic complexes with transition metals is well known; however, its influence on the aerosol of urban areas in the Amazon region is not very well known. In this s

6. Evaluation of sediment contamination by urban sewage in a stretch of Capibaribe River, Pernambuco, Brazil
Anthropic activities are responsible for the increase in environmental contamination, especially in aquatic systems, demanding studies to assess and monitor contamination levels in different water bodies. We have done a chemical characterization of eleven sediments in order to evaluate the level of contamination by domestic sewage from the Capibaribe River,

7. FATORES DE EMISSÃO E DE ENRIQUECIMENTO DA CROSTA PARA ELEMENTOS TRAÇO (MP2,5) EMITIDOS PELA FROTA VEICULAR NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE SÃO PAULO, BRASIL
Air pollution can cause several negative impacts on health and the environment. In large urban centers, this pollution is directly related to anthropogenic activities, mainly activities in the transportation sector. This study analyzed data on black carbon, fine particulate material (PM2.5) and its main trace elements from automotive vehicles (S, P, K, V, Cr

12. Assessment of Atmospheric PM10 Pollution Levels and Chemical Composition in Urban Areas near the 2016 Olympic Game Arenas
Coarse particulate matter (PM10) concentrations and chemical composition were monitored from 2014 to 2017 at three sampling sites in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, namely Botafogo, Gávea, and Gericinó. All sites are located close to the 2016 Olympic Game arenas. The average annual PM10 concentrations were above the limits recommended by the Wor
