Microplastics (PMs) have been considered emerging pollutants, defined as any synthetic solid particle or polymeric matrix, regular or irregular in shape and with sizes ranging from 1 ¼m to 5 mm. Once introduced into freshwater environments, ecotoxicological studies that allow estimating the biological effects of microplastics are essential to understand the problem and establish acceptabl…
The growing shortage of water sources ultimately demands alternatives to the treatment of pollutants. Among the many economic sectors that generate effluents, we highlight textiles with the potential to trigger ecotoxicity. Alternatives for the degradation of these effluents and pure dyes, widely used in said activity, are desirable in the environmental problem generated due to the strong…

Aquatic pollution caused by microplastics (MPs) and chemical contaminants, such as heavy metals and pharmaceuticals, represents a growing environmental concern. MPs (1 µm to 5 mm) persist in the environment and can act as vectors for toxic substances, potentially enhancing or inhibiting their effects on biota. This study aims to investigate the ecotoxicological impacts of chronic exposure…
Pollution of aquatic environments by inorganic and organic chemicals is one of the main factors that is shown to be a serious threat to the survival of the biota present in said system. Due to the growth of industrial production in the last decades the manufacture and use of synthetic chemical compounds has been intensively increased. In this context, we highlight the textile and food ind…
The reservoir Itupararanga is inserted into an area of around multiple uses, especially human activities related to agricultural cultivation, urban expansion areas and areas of environmental protection. Among the waste generated by the occupations described above, we highlight the possible pesticides used to combat pests of crops, fertilizers and sewage dumps. Through the sources of point…
Chemicals with potential to deregulate the endocrine systems of vertebrates and invertebrates have been detected in aquatic environments worldwide in concentrations on the order of ppb (part per billion). Among them we highlight the natural and artificial hormones, present in wastewater that are discharged into the environment without treatment or water treatment ineffective for their rem…

Recently, the presence of chemicals with capability to interfere with the function of endocrine systems of animals in their environments has generated a considerable scientific interest, and it has stimulated the development of fast and reliable methods to detect these substances in the wild. The final decision of whether a substance can be classified as an endocrine disruptor is often ba…
