The elderly is disproportionately affected by the severe form of COVID-19, with increasing mortality according to the age group, reaching 20% in individuals over eighty years. The greater susceptibility is credited not only to the higher frequency of comorbidities, but also to the immunological changes associated with aging, such as activation of the innate immune system and deficiencies …
Plastic products are widely used in society and their degradation products (referred to as microplastics because of their small size) are an increasing cause for societal and scientific concern because of potential adverse effects on the environment and human health. A large number of studies have investigated distribution in water, and effects of microplastics on a range of aquatic organ…

Plastic products are widely used in society and their degradation (referred to as microplastics because of their small size) are an increasing cause for societal and scientific concern due to the potential adverse effects on the environment and on human health. Many studies have investigated distribution in water, and the uptake and potential effects of microplastics on a range of organis…
Chemical elements, especially metals, cause genotoxic effects, induction of neoplasia, damage to the immune and neurological systems. The main pollutants related to the combustion process are: Fine Particle Matter (PM2.5); Particle Matter (PM10); Total Suspended Particles (TSP); Sulfur Dioxide (SO2); Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2); Carbon Monoxide (CO); Ozone (O3). Particulate matter (PM) is defi…
The air pollution is determined by fixed and mobile sources, being this last one characterized as the main pollutant. The automotive vehicles are pollutant mobile sources, and the state of São Paulo holds 40% of the automotive fleet of the country. Among the main pollutants related to the combustion process, there are the thin inhalable particles (MP2,5) and inhalable particles (MP10). Th…

The presence of vegetation in the urban environment offers numerous advantages for the ecosystem, as well as social and economic benefits that may improve human health. Studies in Europe and the United States show that green spaces improve overall air quality, aesthetics, physical activity, shaded areas, and thermal control. Additionally, green spaces influence mental, cardiovascular, res…
