The industrial activity for iron (ore) producing and steel products processing results in the emission of particulate material in the atmosphere (APM) containing free metals and metallic nanoparticles. Many of these materials are emerging metals and nanoparticles that there are no environmental limits determined in the existing legislation. Dispersed in the atmosphere they may contaminate…

Occurrence, fate and effects of illicit drugs in aquatic ecosystems are of environmental concern. In fact, the amounts of illicit drugs consumed worldwide are comparable with those of therapeutic drugs, as millions of individuals are current users of cocaine, heroin, amphetamine like stimulants, marijuana and other drugs. Once cocaine and its metabolites are excreted, they reach inland wa…
Illicit drugs have been considered as a growing social and public health problem worldwide. Millions of people have consumed these substances, which cocaine is among the most consumed one. The consumption and trafficking of cocaine in South America have become more prominent, particularly in Brazil. The main responsible for the discharge of emerging substances (such as illicit drugs) in t…
Obtaining data on physical-chemical aspects related to contamination by metallic nanoparticles (NPs) from the integration of chemical, molecular/biochemical analyzes and physiological/behavioral performance in different groups of animals is essential to determine the contamination pattern, mechanisms of action, pathways of effect and biological/ecological damages. In this context, the pos…
The intense and continuous contribution of emerging contaminants might represent a risk to non-target organisms. This could be aggravated by the decrease in the ocean's pH. The cocaine and its main human metabolite, the benzoylecgonine, become relevant for ecotoxicology studies since they have been reported in several environmental matrices, specially in aquatic ecosystems. In this panora…
Urban sewage represents a major source of pollution in marine ecosystems, mainly due to increased consumption in coastal metropolitan regions and inefficient collection, treatment and disposal of domestic effluents. Among the main substances that can be found in the effluents are metals, hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals and personal care and illicit drugs, such as Cocaine, which is considere…
Currently plastic polymers have gained worldwide attention due to the high occurrence in aquatic ecosystems, which occurs from metropolitan coastal regions to polar regions. According to the UN, in the oceans about 8 million tons of plastic are discarded per year and about 90% is composed of microplastics of industrial origin or from fragmentation of larger objects. Among the microplastic…

Cocaine is one of the most illicit drugs found in aquatic environments. Studies have shown that cocaine's main metabolite (benzoylecgonine) can cause adverse effects in invertebrates and vertebrates. Daphnia magna is considered a suitable biological model for ecotoxicological studies, primarily for its features of sensibility and easy handling. Many authors have performed assays to assess…
Residues of cocaine (COC) have been identified in different aquatic ecosystems. Once in the environment, COC could interact with non-target organisms. Several studies showed that environmentally concentrations of COC induced negative effects in invertebrate organism, especially freshwater, but there are still few studies on the effects of COC on marine vertebrates. The aim of this study i…
This research project to Bolsa Estágio de Pesquisa no Exterior (BEPE) aims to complement the main Post Doctorate project in progress. It would be conducted at Institute of Marine Sciences of Andalusia (ICMAN-CSIC) under the supervision of Dr. Julián Blasco. Briefly, this proposal is focused on adapt and employ new methodologies regarding subcellular metal partitioning (SMP) and specific b…
