Abstract
Since 1950, global plastics production has reached 8.9 billion tonnes, with 2.6 billion still in use and 6.3 billion discarded. In 2018, Brazil contributed 11.3 million tons of plastic waste, ranking it as the fourth largest producer in the world. Furthermore, the country leads the global consumption of pesticides, totaling approximately 130 thousand tons annually. Given this scenario, it…

Abstract
Emerging contaminants, such as microplastics (MPs) and pesticides, are increasingly recognized for their potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. MPs are frequently detected in surface waters, with concentrations exceeding 51,000 particles/m³, while pesticides like imidacloprid and tebuconazole are commonly found due to agricultural runoff. Both MPs and pesticides are known…
