Bioplásticos, plásticos biodegradáveis e outras falsas soluções
Plásticos estão no centro da tripla crise planetária. Entre as soluções apresentadas, a substituição por bioplásticos ou materiais supostamente biodegradáveis, tem ganhado força. Entretanto, há um amplo desconhecimento sobre o significado destes termos, que são estampados nas embalagens, levando a decisões de compra equivocadas. Ainda, o uso mal-intencionado do marketing verde, focado na exacerbação do lucro a despeito da sustentabilidade, impõem…
Cigarette butts to estimate the illicit cigarette consumption proportion in a major Brazilian city
On replacing single-use plastic with so-called biodegradable ones: The case with straws
Occurrence of imposex in Thais haemastoma: Possible evidence of environmental contamination derived from organotin compounds in Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, Brazil
There are indications that the widespread use of organotin compounds (TBT and TPT) as antifoulings, as stabilizers in plastic and as pesticides, has severely affected several species of marine organisms. The most striking effect of TBT and TPT as hormonal disruptors is the development of male organs in females of gastropods, currently denominated imposex. This syndrome can lead to the sterilization and death of affected organisms. The present wor…
