1. Characterization of Commercially Available Turmeric for Use in Pharmaceutical Products and Food Supplements
We addressed some physicochemical and biological differences in commercial turmeric, acquired from both handling pharmacies and stores selling natural products for quality assessment. For this, it was determined the melting point, antioxidant activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), antimicrobial activity via the agar disk-diffusion assay,

2. NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CHLOROPLAST PIGMENTS EXPOSED TO LEAD AND ALUMINUM: A META-ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT Toxic metals have become some of the main abiotic agents that influence the stress of organisms due to their numerous agricultural and industrial uses that result in bioaccumulation and toxicity at different levels, depending on the type and concentration in the environment. Aluminum and lead are present as a result of anthropogenic activities and c

3. How much do we know about the groundwater quality and its impact on Brazilian society today?
Resumo As águas subterrâneas são um recurso imprescindível para a sociedade e o meio ambiente no Brasil. Mais de 557 m3/s (17.5 km3/a) são extraídos através de 2.5 milhões de poços para atender a demanda nas cidades e no campo, gerando uma economia de R$ 56 bilhões ao ano (US$ 14 bilhões/ano). O aquífero tem função impar no ciclo hidrológico,

4. Leaching of Heavy Metals in Soils Conditioned with Biosolids from Sewage Sludge
ABSTRACT A promising use of biosolids is as organic fertilizer in agricultural and forestry activities. However, its composition might contain several pollutants, especially heavy metals, which may result in an increase in the concentrations of these elements in the soil and the risk of groundwater contamination. This study aimed to determine the leaching le

5. Heavy metals in the São Mateus Stream Basin, Peixe River Basin, Paraiba do Sul River Basin, Brazil
Resumo Empreendimentos com porte e potencial poluidor precisam ser licenciados adequadamente, fiscalizados e monitorados durante e após suas operações de forma a evitar e/ou mitigar impactos nas suas áreas de influência. A Bacia Hidrográfica do córrego São Mateus (BHCSM), situada em zona rural de Juiz de Fora (MG), é impactada por várias atividades

6. Heavy metal concentrations and ecological risk assessment of the suspended sediments of a multi-contaminated Brazilian watershed
ABSTRACT. Metal concentrations in suspended sediments of one of the most polluted rivers in Brazil were measured. Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined by inductively coupled plasma while Hg and As were analyzed with hydride generation flow injection atomic absorption spectroscopy. Contamination of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, N

7. Potentially mobile of heavy metals on the surface sediments in tropical hyper-saline and positive estuaries
ABSTRACT Estuarine sediments represent important pools of trace metals, released from both anthropogenic and natural sources. Fluctuations in the water column physicochemical conditions, on the other hand, may transfer metals from solid to liquid compartment and resulting in contamination of the surrounding environment. The present research was carried out t

8. Actividad de enzimas del estrés oxidativo en plantas de tomate cv. Amalia en respuesta al plomo
ABSTRACT Contamination of soils by heavy metals is a result of human activity, agriculture and industry. Among heavy metals, lead is a potential pollutant that in plants causes numerous symptoms of toxicity such as stunted growth, blackening of the root system and generalized chlorosis. The activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) and gluta

9. The effect of heavy metal contamination on the bacterial community structure at Jiaozhou Bay, China
Abstract In this study, determination of heavy metal parameters and microbiological characterization of marine sediments obtained from two heavily polluted sites and one low-grade contaminated reference station at Jiaozhou Bay in China were carried out. The microbial communities found in the sampled marine sediments were studied using PCR-DGGE (denaturing gr

10. Solubility of Heavy Metals/Metalloid on Multi-Metal Contaminated Soil Samples from a Gold Ore Processing Area: Effects of Humic Substances
ABSTRACT Bioavailability of heavy metals at contaminated sites is largely controlled by the physicochemical properties of the environmental media such as dissolved organic matter, hydroxides and clay colloids, pH, soil cation exchange capacity and oxidation-reduction potential. The aim of this study was to investigate soil pH and heavy metal solubility effec

11. Background and Reference Values of Metals in Soils from Paraíba State, Brazil
ABSTRACT Soil contamination by heavy metals threatens ecosystems and human health. Environmental monitoring bodies need reference values for these contaminants to assess the impacts of anthropogenic activities on soil contamination. Quality reference values (QRVs) reflect the natural concentrations of heavy metals in soils without anthropic interference and

12. Health risk assessment of heavy metals in vegetables grown around battery production area
Battery production is one of the main sources of heavy metals that present great harm to human health even in low concentrations. Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) were measured in edible portions of vegetables and soils around a battery production area in China, and the potential health risk of heavy metal contamination to the local population via v
