Simple and cost-effective method for microplastic quantification in estuarine sediment: A case study of the Santos and São Vicente Estuarine System
(2020-09-01)
Sediment is a useful environmental compartment in the evaluation and monitoring of microplastics (i.e., plastic particles between 1 μm and 5 mm in length) in aquatic environments, since 70% of plastic waste is deposited ...
Benthic assemblages of a temperate estuarine system in South America: Transition from a freshwater to an estuarine zone
(Elsevier, 2007-12)
The objectives of the present study were to describe the species composition, diversity and distribution of the zoobenthic assemblages, to estimate the abundance and biomass of the dominant species, and to identify the ...
Natural factors and chemical contamination control the structure of macrobenthic communities in the Santos Estuarine System (SP, Brazil)
(2019-01-01)
The Santos Estuarine System (SES) is a complex of bays, islands, estuarine channels, and rivers located on the Southeast coast of Brazil, in which multiple contaminant sources are situated in close proximity to mangroves ...
Modeling the dispersion of endocrine disruptors in the Santos Estuarine System (Sao Paulo State, Brazil)
(Inst Oceanografico, Univ Sao Paulo, 2016-01-01)
Estrogens are hormones responsible for growth and reproduction. They are naturally synthesized by animals and humans alike. Xenoestrogens are identical to natural hormones, but they are man-made and used as oral contraceptives. ...
Physical and chemical characteristics of the sediment in the estuarine region of Cananeia (SP), Brazil
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2000-07-01)
Physical and chemical characteristics of sediment were analyzed at eight sampling areas in the estuarine region of Cananeia (SP), Brazil. The samples were collected in 1995 during four periods; summer, autumn, winter and ...
Common snook juveniles, Centropomus undecimalis, as biomonitor organisms to evaluate cytogenotoxicity effects of surface estuarine water from Southern Brazil
(2019-12-01)
Centropomus undecimalis fish inhabit the highly contaminated Santos-São Vicente Estuarine System (SESS) and could be a good biomonitor of contaminants. This study aimed to investigate the cytogenotoxic potential of superficial ...
Estuarine circulation
(2016-01-01)
Estuaries were formed in a narrow coastal boundary zone between the sealand, during the last interglacial period. This contribution is intended to present some aspects of estuarine circulation related to: (1) transitional ...
Integrative ecotoxicological assessment of contaminated sediments in a complex tropical estuarine system
(2011-01-01)
The Santos Estuarine System (SES) is a complex of bays, islands, estuarine channels and rivers located on the Southeast coast of Brazil, in which multiple contaminant sources are situated in close proximity to mangroves ...
