One of the major environmental concerns today is microplastic (MP) pollution-plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm-widespread across ecosystems and posing risks to both human health and biodiversity. Due to their durability and accumulation capacity, MPs persist in the environment for long periods. Although there are existing methods for MP removal, such as filtration and advanced oxidation…

Objectives: Tobacco has been associated with the development of oral leukoplakia (OL) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo changes caused by the carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO), simulating smoking conditions. Materials and Methods: In the in vitro study, normal keratinocytes were exposed to 1.3 µM and 2.6 µM concentratio…
Aquatic ecology has emerged as a crucial field of research globally, particularly due to its role in understanding and mitigating the impacts of environmental changes on freshwater ecosystems, in addition to water scarcity in several regions of the world. Among the world's most biodiverse yet vulnerable and understudied regions, the freshwater systems of Africa and the Neotropics (America…

Obesity is a global public health crisis, being an independent risk factor for the development of kidney disease. Studies indicate that natural products, such as Citrus bergamia leaf extract, rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, have therapeutic potential in reducing oxidative and metabolic alterations in obese individuals. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of bergamot fr…
This project aims to study advanced oxidation processes under sunlight in the presence of the oxidants hydrogen peroxide and peroxomonosulate (PMS) to promote the degradation of pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents under sunlight. A comparison will be made of the degradation mechanisms involved in the use of different oxidants, considering their efficiency in dif…
The 21st century has been marked by the acceleration of climate change and, increasingly, by a decrease in water availability for the population. Previously, water security was a concern only in drought-stricken regions, a scenario that now encompasses various regions of the world. Even Brazil, a country with ample water availability across much of its territory, has recently faced proble…
The increasing presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments represents a significant environmental and public health risk, particularly due to the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This project aims to investigate the mechanisms of antibiotic removal by the microalga Monoraphidium contortum, expanding upon previous studies that demonstrated its efficiency in eliminating sulfamethoxaz…

The sustainability of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) production in the context of climate change depends on the transplant of robust seedlings capable of withstanding adverse conditions, especially high temperatures. The production of these seedlings in indoor vertical farming systems with artificial lighting and environmental control has great potential to provide a rapid, high-quality, and…
The recovery of chemical elements from wastewater is one of the most important global challenges in the 21st century. To transform our linear systems into circular ones we need to develop new technologies that are focused on resource recovery, and that are sustainable, robust and reliable. The photogranular technology is such a technology. Photogranules are dense, spherical agglomerates c…
Advanced oxidation processes have emerged as promising strategies for the removal of persistent pharmaceutical contaminants from aquatic environments, particularly when conventional biological and physicochemical treatments prove ineffective. Among these, photoelectrochemical systems based on TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) have attracted considerable attention due to their high stability, t…

Climate change has intensified the frequency of extreme events, especially prolonged droughts and irregular rainfall distribution, compromising soil water availability, structural stability, and agricultural productivity. In systems subjected to greater climate pressure, water use efficiency becomes largely dependent on the physical quality of the soil and its capacity to store and supply…
The recurring presence of emerging pollutants in aquatic environments, especially compounds used as preservatives in pharmaceutical and personal care products, has raised increasing environmental concern, since these contaminants are not efficiently removed by conventional treatment systems. Among them, parabens stand out due to their widespread use, environmental persistence, and potenti…
More frequent and severe drought-related disasters are being recorded worldwide, impacting water supply and exacerbating socioeconomic inequalities. As the severity of the phenomenon increases, there is a rise in concern that seldom translates into effective cross-cutting, intersectoral planning. Although River Basin Committees (RBCs) are the collegiate bodies that work most directly with…

Nanoplastic pollution is a persistent and increasingly pervasive threat to aquatic ecosystems, exacerbated by the inability of conventional water-treatment technologies to remove or mineralize these ultrafine particles. This project proposes an innovative plasmonic photocatalytic approach to accelerate nanoplastic degradation using hybrid nanoparticles composed of a silver core coated wit…
The application of electrochemical processes in the treatment of wastewater is a important topic of study in the last two decades. Most of the studies have focused on the mineralization of recalcitrant organic compounds, that is, their complete transformation into CO2 and water. However, this objective goes against the principles of the circular economy, which is to transform organic wast…
The study area of this project comprises the Aconcagua River Basin, located in central Chile, a strategic hydrological system for water supply for agricultural, urban, and industrial uses. The basin shows a strong dependence on both surface and groundwater resources, which are controlled by the nival and glacial dynamics of the Central Andes and by the pronounced climatic seasonality char…
