Abstract
The occurrence of microplastics and pesticides in agricultural areas has been recorded worldwide, however, knowledge about its on populations of aquatic invertebrates from Brazil remains scarce. This project aims to investigate, on a multilevel scale, the toxicological effects of the polyethylene microplastics (MP), tebuconazole (TB), and imidacloprid (ID), in isolated and combined exposu…

Abstract
Antibiotics have been classified as substances of emerging interest and potentially toxic to aquatic biota, due to their high consumption, presence in hospital and domestic effluents, and freshwater. In this scenario, the present project aims to investigate the toxic effects of synthetic wastewater containing 12 antibiotics (7 sulfonamides and 5 fluoroquinolones) and hospital wastewater, …

Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics in freshwater has been documented worldwide, however, data on the neurotoxicity of these substances in the context of animal behavior are lacking. In this research proposal, the mechanisms associated with the alteration of the motor function of zebrafish larvae exposed to widely used antibiotics (sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones) will be analyzed, combining …
