The main motivation behind this proposal is the recognition that a well-exploited association of micro techniques covering sample preparation, chromatography and mass spectrometry exhibits very concrete potential for gains in analytical quality in association with the precepts of green chemistry. Directly, we envisage several advances from fundamental aspects to applications on real sampl…
Wastewater contamination with pharmaceutical drugs is of remarkable importance. Among other drugs, antibiotics cause concern due to their hole in bacterial resistance. Effluents from industries, residential districts, hospitals and animal farms are the main sources of contamination by antibiotics. Moreover, conventional wastewater treatments have shown low efficiency in the removal of the…
Individuals who practice physical activity often choose to use nutritional supplements searching for better performance, recovery or muscle gain. Several studies discuss caffeine and ²-alanine as options for better performance in different types of exercise. However, the variability in the results obtained raised the question that supplementation may not be effective for all individuals, …
Although the concentration of emerging organic micropollutants (OMPs) is considered quite low (usually ng L-1 to µg L-1) in domestic wastewater, their presence may result in harmful impacts of short, medium and long term on the ecosystem, human health and the economy. Most OMPs are not completely eliminated in conventional sewage treatment plants (STPs), such as activated sludge and UASB …
The thematic project includes the improvement, as well as the development of new versions of an instrument for automated sample preparation using microextraction techniques (e.g. MEPS, SDME and HF-LPME). At the moment, there is already a system capable of performing automated procedures that gather the necessary steps to operate the aforementioned techniques. On the other hand, the curren…
The intensive use of pesticides in food crops causes several adverse effects on pollinating agents. Studies on these effects on bees are scarce in Brazil, especially about native stingless bees. These insects perform an essential role in the pollination of many crops, making essential the development of methods to evaluate the sensitivity of these bees to the pesticides employed, searchin…
The presence of residual resistant drugs in water may cause adverse effects for the health of human or several aquatic organisms. Therefore, there is an increasing concern about the development of analytical methods with enough sensitivity for resistant drugs determination in aquatic environments, at a concentration range of ng L-1 to µg L-1.There is also an interest in the degradation pr…

A wide variety of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are present in different environmental matrices through human activities and animal husbandry. Upon reaching sewage treatment plants, many of these PPCPs may be partially or fully removed from the system during the biological treatment processes, generating biotransformation products (BTPs), which can become more toxic m…
Metabolomics has required the evolution of analytical protocols and bioinformatics. The advances in this scientific area apply from microorganisms and plants to toxicological/environmental problems related with the exposure of humans to chemical contaminants. The success of an experiment in metabolomics depends on experimental design, sample collection, extraction, analysis of the extract…
The search for environmentally friendly sample treatment procedures has led to the rise of miniaturized techniques. In methods using this kind of techniques, it is often necessary to handle very small quantities of samples with enhanced precision and reproducibility. Therefore, the implementation of automation strategies is a constant necessity in analytical chemistry. In the ongoing doct…
