1. GASES DE NITROGÊNIO REATIVO COMO PRECURSORES DO AEROSSOL ATMOSFÉRICO: REAÇÕES DE FORMAÇÃO, PROCESSOS DE CRESCIMENTO E IMPLICAÇÕES AMBIENTAIS
The increased emissions of reactive nitrogen gases from anthropogenic sources to the atmosphere has been pointed out as responsible for triggering a series of environmental problems at the local, regional, and global scale. Among the many consequences associated with the excess of reactive nitrogen in the environment is the increase of atmospheric aerosol fo

2. DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF EPIPHYTIC LICHEN TAXA TO AGRICULTURAL LAND USE IN A FRAGMENTED FOREST IN CENTRAL ARGENTINA
ABSTRACT The seasonally dry subtropical forest, especially the Espinal forest in central Argentina (one of the most fragmented ecoregions), is affected by intensive agricultural activity. These activities are the main anthropogenic sources of atmospheric nitrogen compounds and their effects on lichens have been extensively studied, making them excellent ecol

3. Water pollution: one of the main Limnology challenges in the Anthropocene
Resumo: A humanidade está definindo um novo período geológico. A era do Antropoceno é marcada por mudanças nos processos geológicos, nos regimes hidrológicos, na estrutura da biosfera, dentre outros processos devido às expansões humanas sobre a paisagem ao redor do mundo. A aceleração dos ciclos biogeoquímicos, a grande carga de poluentes nos rec

4. The role of sediments in the carbon and pollutant cycles in aquatic ecosystems
Resumo Objetivo Modificações antrópicas na paisagem estão acelerando os ciclos biogeoquímicos e promovendo desbalanços entre ecossistemas terrestres e aquáticos de maneira sem precedentes, com impactos ainda desconhecidos nos processos bióticos e abióticos. Desta forma, é crescente o interesse científico nas relações entre atividades humanas e

5. Biomonitoring of Toxic Elements in Plants Collected Near Leather Tanning Industry
The present work aimed the study of atmospheric deposition of toxic elements near to a tannery industry by collecting black material deposited on leaf surfaces of cinnamon trees (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Elements such as As, Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Sb, V, and Zn were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For comparison purpose, bl

6. Fracture Properties of Geopolymer Concrete Based on Metakaolin, Fly Ash and Rice Rusk Ash
Geopolymers are exclusively mineral nature and are considered an alternative to materials based on Portland clinker, whose production accounts for about 5% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the world. The geopolymer cement concrete (GCC) may be prepared from natural oxide-aluminosilicates such as metakaolin (MK), or synthetic, such as fly ash (FA) together w

7. AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICIÊNCIA DO MÉTODO TO-15 PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE COMPOSTOS ORGÂNICOS VOLÁTEIS EM CONDIÇÕES TÍPICAS DE AMBIENTE URBANO
The efficiency of U.S.EPA TO-15 Method was evaluated under typical conditions of an urban environment with natural and anthropic emission sources. The performance criteria which should be met for a system to qualify, were fulfilled: a detection limit of ≤0.2 ng for all target compounds, replicate precision for a calibration standard and ambient samples wit

8. Determination of CO2, CH4 and N2O: a Case Study for the City of Rio de Janeiro Using a New Sampling Method
A new sampling method using polypropylene syringes and chemical analysis by gas chromatography was proposed and applied to determine CO2, CH4 and N2O. The samples' stability was evaluated and compared with the stability of the samples in stainless steel canisters and Tedlar® bags. This methodology was applied to a case study in the urban area of the city of

9. Bulk Atmospheric Deposition of Major Ions and Dissolved Organic Nitrogen in the Lower Course of a Tropical River Basin, Southern Bahia, Brazil
Major ionic constituents (Cl–, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, NH4+, NO3–, SO42–) and dissolved organic nitrogen were determined, from September 2009 to January 2010, in bulk atmospheric deposition in the lower course of Cachoeira River, sou

10. Yearly variation of bacterial production in the Arraial do Cabo protection area (Cabo Frio upwelling region): an evidence of anthropogenic pressure
Arraial do Cabo is where upwelling occurs more intensively on the Brazilian coast. Although it is a protection area it suffers anthropogenic pressure such as harbor activities and sporadic sewage emissions. Short-time studies showed a high variability of bacterial production (BP) in this region but none of them evaluated BP during long periods in a large spa

11. Emissões naturais e antrópicas de nitrogênio, fósforo e metais para a bacia do Rio Macaé (Macaé, RJ, Brasil) sob influência das atividades de exploração de petroleo e gás na Bacia de Campos
Emission factors of natural processes and anthropogenic activities were used to estimate nutrients and metal loads for the lower Macaé river basin, which hosts the operational base for the offshore oil and gas exploration in the Campos Basin. The estimates indicated that emissions from anthropogenic activities are higher than natural emissions. Major contri

12. Potencial uso de serpentinito no armazenamento mineral do CO2
Rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions are considered a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. There are several options for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, and among these alternatives, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been identified as an effective and promising approach. This work investigated the feasibility of using serpentinite as a vehicle for
