Environmental hazards account for a large, but not well characterized, proportion of the burden of disease. The exposome, described as "the totality of human environmental exposures from conception onwards", recognizes that individuals are exposed simultaneously to a multitude of different environmental factors and takes a holistic approach to the discovery of etiological factors for dise…
The hydroelectric power plants (HPP) are one of the largest economic resources in the Amazon that, however, can disproportionately impact traditional communities such as the riverines communities. Pará is home to the fifth largest HPP in the world, the HPP Tucuruí, constituting a unique model for generating data that can support actions to minimize the impact on the most vulnerable popula…
The overall impact of mercury (Hg) pollution is indisputable (Minamata convention on Hg), and some populations are recognized as particularly vulnerable and at high risk. The Brazilian Amazon is one of the regions most affected by Hg in the world. In this area, Hg can be released into aquatic ecosystems by anthropogenic (mainly through gold mining) and natural (such as soil leaching) proc…

Mercury pollution, a severe issue globally and particularly in the Brazilian Amazon due to activities like gold mining and deforestation, poses serious health risks to local communities. High Hg exposure levels have been documented in these populations, leading to concerns about neurological impacts and other health effects resembling Minamata disease. Interestingly, despite elevated Hg l…
Mercury (Hg) pollution has a well-known impact, highlighted by the Minamata Convention on Hg. Certain populations are especially vulnerable and at high risk. The Brazilian Amazon is one of the regions most affected by mercury pollution globally. Here, mercury enters aquatic ecosystems through human activities, primarily gold mining, and natural processes like soil leaching. This leads to …
The increasing applications of plastics in various fields such as healthcare, packaging, building and construction, textiles, consumer products, transportation, electrical and electronics etc. has resulted in elevated levels of plastic wastes in the environments majorly in the landfills. The plastic polymers could be further fragmented into smaller micro- and even nano-sized plastics know…

The riverside populations of the Amazon face chronic exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb), primarily due to the consumption of fish and manioc flour. This exposure poses a serious health risk and is associated with adverse neurological, renal, and cardiovascular effects. Evidence suggests that selenium (Se) may act as a protective factor against the toxicity of the…
Human biomonitoring (HB) is an analytical tool used to assess exposure to chemical species by quantifying them in biological matrices. HB relies on conventional methods such as venous blood and urine collection, which have logistical and technical limitations. In contrast, microsampling techniques, including volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS), in situ plasma separation devices, an…

The increasing demand for consumer goods and industrialized products, such as personal care products, food and pharmaceuticals, has led to an accumulation of chemical compounds in the environment and exposing man to emerging contaminants, among which are the endocrine disruptores (ED). Therefore, issues related to environmental contamination and human exposure to this class of contaminant…

The expansion of industrial and agricultural activities has increased human exposure to many toxic substances. After exposure, most of these chemicals can interact with the human organism, leading to a higher predisposition to specific pathologies. Among these chemicals, the aromatic amines (AAs) are a class of emerging pollutants often used as by-products in manufacturing dyes, textiles,…
Bisphenols are endocrine disruptors commonly used in the manufacture of plastic products and extensively studied regarding their potential adverse effects on the endocrine system and organs that are subject to endocrine regulation. In the last decades, many scientific reports showed that bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, can adversely affect energy metabolism, leading to impairme…
Engineered nanoparticles especially the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cancer treatment, biomedical imaging, diagnosis etc. To a large extent, their reported low toxicity to mammals seems to be one of the important features that make them to be desired in such applications. Most toxicological, uptake and biodistribution…
