Is the microcosm approach using meiofauna community descriptors a suitable tool for ecotoxicological studies?
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-01-01)
The usual approaches used in ecological risk assessment have been based on individual and population level standard procedures. Although these have been important tools to assess adverse effects on ecosystems, they are ...
Colorimetry as a petroleum toxicity and biodegradation screening technique
(2014-03-01)
Treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated environments is still a great challenge today. Oily residues present in refinery separation systems waste or even the accumulation in the storage tanks has been an increasing issue. ...
Integrated sediment quality assessment in Paranagua Estuarine System, Southern Brazil
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2009-10-01)
Sediment quality from Paranagua Estuarine System (PES), a highly important port and ecological zone, was evaluated by assessing three lines of evidence: (1) sediment physical-chemical characteristics; (2) sediment toxicity ...

Not all toxic butterflies are toxic: high intra- and interspecific variation in sequestration in subtropical swallowtails
(2017-12)
Many herbivorous insects make use of plant secondary metabolites by consuming and storing
these toxic compounds in their body tissue or integument, thereby obtaining chemical defense against their
natural enemies. ...

Screening the toxicity and biodegradability of petroleum hydrocarbons by a rapid colorimetric method
(Springer, 2015-02-01)
Crude oil and petroleum products have a wide variety of hazardous components with high toxicity and low biodegradability. Certain dyes change their colors by intercepting electron transfer reactions during the transformation ...
Multiple lines of evidence of sediment quality in an urban Marine Protected Area (Xixová-Japuí State Park, SP, Brazil)
(2019-02-20)
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) aim to protect habitats, biodiversity, and ecological processes as a conservation tool. These areas have been affected by contamination, which threats the biodiversity and ecological functioning. ...
Subacute toxicity assessment of biobased ionic liquids in rats
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-01)
Ionic liquids (ILs) derived from compounds obtained from natural sources, such as fatty acids (FAs) have attracted the interest of the scientific and industrial communities because of their sustainable appeal and possible ...
