She is an Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Chemistry Department of Federal University of São Paulo since 2010, previously serving as a professor at the University of São Paulo from 2007 to 2010. She holds a degree in Chemistry from the Federal University of Espírito Santo and completed her Master's and Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Federal University of São Carlos and the Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, including a sandwich Ph.D. program at the University of Coimbra. Her academic journey includes postdoctoral research at the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture at USP in 2005, and a sabbatical at Universidade Nova de Lisboa from 2019 to 2020. PhD. Labuto's research is primarily focused on water security, aligning with the UN's sustainable development goals. Her work involves predicting and prioritizing drugs, developing adsorbent materials to remove pollutants from water, and integrating principles of bioeconomy, circular economy, and green chemistry. She has supervised 44 studies for undergraduate and postgraduate students and currently oversees 15 students while coordinating multiple research projects. Additionally, she leads the HydroPoll Network (https://www.hydropoll.org/), the Chemical Speciation Center at Unifesp (NESPEQUI, https://nespequi.unifesp.br/) and the Laboratory of Integrated Sciences (LabInSciences, https://sites.google.com/view/labinsciences-unifesp/). She also serves as an associate researcher at the Antimicrobial Resistance Institute of São Paulo (CEPID ARIES, https://site.unifesp.br/cepidaries/). She is member of the Global Health Center (https://saudeglobal.unifesp.br/). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Pollution by pharmaceuticals is a worldwide concern due to the deleterious effects arising from the presence of these substances in the environment, especially in aquatic ecosystems, where they are frequently and increasingly reported. Many drugs have antiparasitic, insecticidal or repellent actions that inhibit pathogens, affect key species in ecosystems and promote antimicrobial resista…
One of the major problems on water treatment plants is the presence of substances that are responsible for earthy and musty taste and odors (G&O) in drinking water, which is the cause of most consumer complaints and considered indicators of drinking water quality. The main substances responsible for this off-flavour are geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), produced by blue algae …
The access to clean and safe water and basic sanitation are fundamental human rights. In contrast, water bodies have been worldwide deprived of their quality by the misuse of natural resources, causing scarcity of water, either by available quantity or by deterioration of its quality. Regarding quality, efforts to develop new technologies and processes that contribute to the treatment of …
Among the challenges of the millennium established by the United Nations (UN) the access to water and the implication of its quality on the environment and life is one of the main concerns. The search for materials and/or processes capable to remove the contaminants from aqueous medium, particularly emerging contaminants (ECs) whose actions on life are little known, and its removal will b…
The tastes and odors of drinking water have become a source of global concern and stem from the proliferation of microorganisms associated with the high availability of organic matter in water bodies. The presence of taste and odor in drinking water can result in decreased consumer confidence, decreased water consumption and encourage consumers to seek alternative sources of drinking wate…
Access to clean water and basic sanitation are fundamental and essential rights for the entire world population, since water is necessary for the existence of any living being. It is known that the difficulty in allowing this access is not only due to the lack of quantity, but also because of the quality of the water that should be distributed to the population, since several and demandin…

The quality of water is a global concern, with the rupture of planetary resilience to chemical pollution being identified in 2023. Among the most concerning pollutants, pharmaceuticals pose risks to both biota and humans, such as carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, acting as endocrine disruptors, being bioaccumulative, promoting antimicrobial resistance, among others. Substances that act …
