Multispecies Biomonitoring of Metal(loid) Contamination and Human Health Risk in a Peri-Urban Transboundary River System (Brazil–Paraguay)
Urban and peri-urban river systems subjected to intensive agriculture are vulnerable to diffuse metal(loid) inputs, yet the integration of hydrological compartments, bioindicators, and human health risk remains poorly explored. This study investigated the seasonal dynamics, bioaccumulation patterns, and potential human health risks associated with metal(loid)s in the Santa Virgem River (Brazil–Paraguay border), using water from backwater zones an…
Assessment of the Risk to Human Health and Pollution Levels Due to the Presence of Metal(loid)s in Sediments, Water, and Fishes in Urban Rivers in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil
This study aimed to assess the pollution levels, sources, ecological risk, and human health risks of metal(loid)s in water, sediment, and muscle tissue of Prochilodus lineatus and Pimelodus maculatus from rivers in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The metal(loid)s content in river sediment, water, and fish tissue were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Sediment pollution assessment was carried out by g…
Assessment of Metal(loid)s and Nonmetals Contamination in Soils of Urban Ecological Parks in Brazil
Metal(loid)s and nonmetals in the soil of urban parks can pose risks to human health. Thus, we aimed to study the soil elemental content, soil types and their pH, contamination factor, geo-accumulation index, pollution load index, total carcinogenic risk, and hazard quotient for children and adults by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal routes contact in ecological parks (EP) in Central-West Brazil. In Lago do Amor EP, high concentrations of Mg and…
Monitoring of Metal(loid)s Using Brachiaria decumbens Stapf Leaves along a Highway Located Close to an Urban Region
Studies on tollbooth workers involving the concentration of metal(loid)s in highway dust are scarce. We aimed to assess the levels of metal(loid)s in soils and washed and unwashed leaves of Brachiaria decumbens on roadsides. Dust deposition and heavy metal content in the leaves are used to estimate the exposure of tollbooth workers to oral, inhalation, and dermal ingestion of metals in highway dust. The concentrations of aluminum (Al), arsenic (A…
Indirect Methods to Determine the Risk of Damage to the Health of Firefighters and Children Due to Exposure to Smoke Emission from Burning Wood/Coal in a Controlled Environment
People are constantly exposed to particulate matter and chemicals released during fires. However, there are still few studies on gas and particulate emissions related to exposure to burning firewood and charcoal during forest fires, making it difficult to understand the effects on the health of the population. The objective of this study was to quantify the metal(loid)s present in the smoke from wood and charcoal fires through the deposition of m…
High Concentration of Heavy Metal and Metalloid Levels in Edible Campomanesia adamantium Pulp from Anthropic Areas
This study aimed to quantify the extent of heavy metal, non-metal and metalloid levels in the Campomanesia adamantium pulp obtained from an area crossed by road experiencing high large vehicle traffic and intensive agriculture modern farming, to monitor the health risks associated with pulp consumption by humans. For this purpose, in three spots located within this area, ripe fruits were collected on the roadside, bush and farm-margin. Pulp sampl…
Caracterização nutritiva, bioativas e sensorial de frozen yogurt adicionado de castanhas de baru
Este trabalho objetivou elaborar frozen yogurt com baru e avaliar suas características nutritivas, bioativas e sensoriais. O frozen foi elaborado com 9,8% de castanhas de baru e analisado para umidade, proteínas, lipídeos, carboidratos, cinzas, compostos fenólicos, atividade antioxidante, aceitabilidade e intenção de compra. Os resultados demonstraram que o frozen pode contribuir para a manutenção da saúde e tem boa aceitabilidade junto ao mercad…
