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.

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…
The soluble fraction of gasoline in water is a potential pollutant of aquatic environment due to aromatic hydrocarbonates. The main goals of the present study are to characterize the P. lineatus responses to exposure to soluble fraction of gasoline at several levels of biological organization and identify the relevant biomarkers for monitoring environments impacted by gasoline and other …

The action of atmospheric particulate matter (MPA) from the steel industry will be evaluated in: (1) Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a euryhaline species of commercial interest, whose physiological and biochemical parameters are well known; (2) a top-of-the-chain species, Sea Bass (Centropomus parallelus), which is an indicator of the real effects on the estuary environment. Specime…

Brazil is one of the largest iron producers in the world, with high industrial activity in iron mining, ironwork, steel and metallurgical processes. Most of these activities emit a metallic smoke that may contain several metals from the production process and the original ore. In the search for different alloys, most of the industries have developed metal alloys with compounds that have n…
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…
