Conventional wastewater treatment is insufficient to protect our water bodies from so-called micropollutants (or emerging contaminants), which have adverse effects such as reducing the diversity of bacteria and algae in running waters, modifications in the behavior and morphology of aquatic biota and interference with the hormonal system of wildlife and humans. In addition, due to less re…

Different traces of organic compounds such as pharmaceuticals, hormones and personal care products have been qualified as emerging contaminants, the most part of these compounds are endocrine disruptors. New researches are pointing to them in different sections of the environment all around the world. This project aims to obtain informations to create a database about Jundiaí and Piraí ri…
The widespread use of plastics revolutionized the modern world, as well as has generated environmental pollution. Microplastics (MPs) have been found in quite diverse environments, however, in Brazilian freshwater environments, there are still many knowledge gaps. Occupational diseases are often reported, but the implications of the MPs and nanoplastics in human health should be better st…
In recent years it has become a growing number of organic substances detected as pharmaceuticals, personal care products and hormones in different aquatic compartments. This has been mainly due to the low efficiency of removal these compounds in conventional wastewater treatment plants. In this sense, additional steps of treatment need to be further studied and improved so that these cont…
Contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes, known as BTEX is commonly observed in areas near the oil refineries or stations, in water and soil. The anaerobic biodegradation in soil has been studied as a technology for recovering contaminated areas with anoxic characteristics, but, this microbial activity can transform compounds lit…
