The increase in world population makes agriculture and food production essential practices to combat hunger. Pests, diseases, and weeds are biotic factors that interfere with agriculture and reduce the production of cultivated areas and, consequently, the production and supply of food. Pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides) are the main inputs used to combat these biotic fa…
Food contamination with mycotoxins has caused concern nationally and internationally because of its potential genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, and also the possible additive or synergistic effects that may result from their combination in the same food. Monitoring of mycotoxins in foods is extremely important for public health, aimed at the adoption of technological measures in order t…
Due to the expansion of intensive aquaculture the use of drugs is growing in aquacultures activities. The use of anti-infective (antibiotic and antimicrobial) in Brazilian aquaculture is relatively recent. On the other hand, the excessive use of these compounds as chimiotherapeutic prophylaxis and growth promoters in aquaculture builds a framework of uncertainties and risks to public heal…
Brazil is the largest exporter of chicken meat and the major solid waste is poultry litter, which is commonly used as agricultural fertilizer. This solid waste can contain significant amounts of antibiotics generally causing an environmental impact, little investigated until now. Currently, norfloxacin is the main antibiotic used in farms. Therefore, the objective of this study is to cond…

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine disruptor, widely used in the production of plastics, epoxy resins, and thermal papers, and it is one of the most studied emerging contaminants. Due to restrictions on its use in several countries, alternatives such as bisphenol S (BPS) and Pergafast 201 (PF 201) have been developed; however, their environmental effects and behavior in different matr…
Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding area of science that can offer potential solutions for sustainable agriculture, including increasing the efficiency of active ingredients for target organisms and reducing environmental impacts. However, for these technologies to reach the global market, they must be evaluated for environmental, human risks, and their final fate. Quantitative and semi…

The increase in population and the fragility of food supply in the world population indicate the need for increased agricultural production. Weed infestation reduces crop yields and has glyphosate as the most widely used herbicide worldwide for managing this weed community. A diversity of weed species show different levels of susceptibility to glyphosate and has not been effectively contr…
Environmental pollution by plastics and microplastics is considered one of the most alarming and relevant anthropogenic factors that affect biodiversity, being considered a significant global problem. Besides that, emerging contaminants can adsorb to microplastic particles, forming complex compounds that can contaminate water resources used to obtain drinking water, in addition to causing…

The presence of antibiotics in effluents from wastewater treatment plants represents a serious risk to public and environmental health, requiring the development of more efficient technologies for their removal. Ozonation, an advanced oxidative process, has shown promise in the degradation of various pollutants, including antibiotics. However, the combination with micro/nanobubbles (MNBs)…
Nanoplastics (NPs) are not effectively eliminated in conventional water supply treatment plants (WTPs) or wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), becoming important entry points for contaminants into the aquatic environment and causing public health problems. The contamination of agricultural soils and irrigation waters by NPs in combination with other pollutants, such as emerging contaminan…
Weeds represent big economic and ecological challenges to farming systems worldwide, necessitating the extensive use of herbicides, particularly ACCase inhibitors, to control them. However, the environmental consequences of excessive pesticide use, such as water and soil contamination, demand novel approaches to reduce environmental effects while maintaining crop output. Nanotechnology ap…
Although herbicides are commonly used for weed control, their use can have harmful environmental and agronomic effects, and can lead to weed resistance. However, electric weed control can be used in conjunction with chemical control to decrease the risk of resistance. It is important to note that the effects of electricity on pre-emergent herbicides in the soil are not yet fully understoo…
The environmental pollution by organic contaminants of anthropogenic origin can cause negative impact on human health, and the development of tools for the assessment of human exposure to these substances are necessary. The neonicotinoids are pesticides globally used for the control of insects, and negative effects on human health and the environment have been reported. Humans are exposed…
Considering the large-scale use of herbicides and the focus on reducing the use of these chemicals has been a challenge for agriculture. The advance in the development of nanoformulations for the delivery of pesticides has grown in agriculture. These nanoformulations have demonstrated potential for agricultural use by promoting the controlled release and protection of active ingredients, …
