O conceito de novos alimentos é definido como alimentos ou ingredientes alimentares cujo consumo na União Europeia não era significativo até maio de 1997. Podem ser alimentos inovadores desenvolvidos recentemente ou alimentos que usam novos processos de produção e tecnologias, bem como alimentos tradicionalmente consumidos fora da EU. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a obtenção de informação sobre a aceitação d...

The possible health effects related to exposure to hazardous chemicals have let to citizens interest in environmental health. Mercury, in particular, has been recognized as a chemical of concern, due to its well-known neurotoxicity and endocrine disrupting potential. In this work a group of teenagers from a school in Lisbon together with their teachers and researchers from the academia conducted a human biomoni...
Humans are exposed to mercury trough several pathways including the consumption of contaminated seafood and ingestion of contaminated house dust. We have previously demonstrated that mercury levels in house dust samples from Estarreja region are amongst the highest reported in Portugal. Here we report the levels of total mercury in different biological matrices from 88 adult individuals from Estarreja (age: 37-...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of widely used pharmaceuticals that has been detected in the aquatic environment. Due to their deleterious environmental and health concerns associated with “boomerang” effect, several technologies have been proposed to prevent their release into the environment. In this work, new ionic liquid-based materials were used to remove NSAIDs from aqueous solu...
Residual stresses (RS) of great magnitude are usually present in parts produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB), mainly owing to the extreme temperature gradients and high cooling rates involved in the process. Those “hidden” stresses can be detrimental to a part’s mechanical properties and fatigue life; therefore, it is crucial to know their magnitude and orientation. The hole-drilling strain-gage method w...
The study of indoor environmental quality as well as the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases have received a great deal of attention in the past few years. However, most of those surveys focus on the effects of particulate matter (PM) and biological contaminants (fungi and bacteria) and evidences on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in these pathologies are limited. He...
The indoor environment is an important source of exposure to microbial communities that may deleteriously affect human respiratory health. Recent studies demonstrated that the microbial community structure can be altered by the use of household products such as antimicrobial agents. Hence, in order to understand the modulation of the indoor microbiome by household products and their joint effect in the respirat...
