1. Evaluation of sediment contamination by urban sewage in a stretch of Capibaribe River, Pernambuco, Brazil
Anthropic activities are responsible for the increase in environmental contamination, especially in aquatic systems, demanding studies to assess and monitor contamination levels in different water bodies. We have done a chemical characterization of eleven sediments in order to evaluate the level of contamination by domestic sewage from the Capibaribe River,

2. AN ADAPTED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WATER SAMPLING
In this work an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was adapted to be used as an environmental tool to collect water samples of sea, estuary, and mangrove for further analysis by gas chromatography with a mass detector (GC-MS). The sampling automated system was based on a microcontroller, a solenoid valve, and a peristaltic mini-pump that was coupled to a quadcopt

3. Prevalence and level of Salmonella spp. Contamination on selected pathways of preparation and cooking of fried chicken at the household level
Abstract Homemade foods have been reported as an important contributor to some foodborne outbreaks. This study determined the prevalence and number of Salmonella spp. on selected pathways of fried chicken preparation and cooking at the household level and investigated their antimicrobial resistance. Salmonella serovar was confirmed by polymerase chain reacti

4. Optimization and Validation of LLE-LTP and QuEChERS Methodologies for Determining 2,4-D in Water Samples
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has been one of the main herbicides used to control weeds, however, due to its high use it can promote episodes of environmental contamination. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize and validate the liquid-liquid extraction with low-temperature partition (LLE-LTP) and the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and saf

5. DETERMINATION OF THE PESTICIDES IN WATER USED IN THE CULTURE AND PROCESSING OF POTATOES
The contamination of water bodies by pesticide residues through direct flow, leaching and other methods has motivated the development of analytical methods for the determination of these compounds in water. A vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction method followed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for the determination of anilazine, li

7. COMPLEXO ESTUARINO LAGUNAR MUNDAÚ-MANGUABA: CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NATURAL E INTERAÇÃO COM ÍONS Hg2+
The Mundaú-Manguaba lagoon estuary complex is the most important ecosystem in the state of Alagoas, and a source of sustenance for a large number of the state’s inhabitants. However, degradation by anthropic sources has been causing impacts on this ecosystem. Understanding the characteristics of the natural organic material of the waters of the mundaú-ma

8. Changes in soil chemical and physical properties in pasture fertilised with liquid swine manure
ABSTRACT: Chemical and physical properties of soil can be altered with the successive application of liquid swine manure (LSM), also known as slurry. Therefore, monitoring the impact of LSM is essential to an assessment of the potential agronomic and environmental benefits and risks associated with management practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate

12. 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,
