Ph.D. in Physiology Sciences at São Paulo University (1979). Has experience in Ecology (Applied Ecology) and Comparative Physiology and Zoology studying the physiological and morphological adaptive processes of aquatic animals to climatic changes and environmental contamination with emphasis on the cardio-respiratory function, osmotic and ionic regulation and functional morphology of respiratory organs and detoxification organs.

Brazil is one of the largest iron producers in the world, with high industrial activity in iron minning, ironwork, steel and metallurgical process. Most of these activities emit a metallic smoke that may contain several metals from production process and the original ore. In the search for different alloys, most of the industries have developed metal alloys with compounds that have no lim…
The industrial activity for iron (ore) producing and steel products processing results in the emission of particulate material in the atmosphere (APM) containing free metals and metallic nanoparticles. Many of these materials are emerging metals and nanoparticles that there are no environmental limits determined in the existing legislation. Dispersed in the atmosphere they may contaminate…

Conservation of aquatic environments is essential for the survival of all species, including humans. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor, maintain and preserve the environmental health conditions. Anthropic actions are already present in all environments and are often associated with economic, productive and the subsistence needs with which we need to live and there is a need to act thr…
The light and fluorescence microscope with video camera for image capture e with the software newCAST is specific for biological studies in stereology. The equipment can be used for general analyses in morphology, organ histology and cellular biology. The coupling of microscope to a computer for image capture and with the software newCAST permit tridimensional quantitative studies of ana…
Considering that the advance of nanotechnology and the absence of specific regulations for the disposal of nanoparticles (NPs) it is necessary to know the toxicity of NPs to aquatic biota. The effects of NPs of titanium dioxide (TiO2-NP) have been described in mammals, but there are few studies in aquatic organisms. The curimbatá, Prochilodus lineatus (Teleostei) is a potential bioindicat…

Diabetes is a chronic disease that has been increasing steadily in the population and its main characteristic is hyperglycemia, which triggers several pathophysiological processes in patients, including glucotoxicity in the kidneys and immunosuppression that favors recurrent urinary tract infection (UTIs). Antibiotics are commonly used to treat UTI caused by gram-negative bacteria, includ…
Atmospheric pollution from metallurgical industries poses a serious risk to the environment due to the emission of smoke containing metallic particulate matter. This study aims to investigate whether exposure to settlaeble atmospheric particulate matter (SePM) from metallurgical industries alters the shell structure of the mussel species Perna perna, a bivalve mollusk found on rocky shore…

In Brazil, the steel industries in the Vitória region, in the state of Espírito Santo, continually release metallic particulate matter into the atmosphere (MPA) as a result of the production of steel, metallic alloys and iron ore pelletization. MPA is composed of 20% organic material and 80% inorganic materials with metals and metallic nanoparticles that dissolve in an aqueous medium, rel…

Different types of anthropogenic influences derived from harbor activities and industrial and agricultural effluents affect estuaries and coastal areas. Mangrove areas in two estuarine ecosystems: Vitoria Bay and Santa Cruz in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, with different levels of metal contamination will be evaluated to identify the source of metals and metalloids and the transfer…
