Multipurpose fluorescent nanocarriers: environmental behavior, toxicity and int...
Campos, Bruno G.; Kaczerewska, Olga; Oliveira, Jacinta M. M.; Figueiredo, Joana; Maia, Frederico; Tedim, João; Sousa, Isabel; Abessa, DenisEngineered nanomaterials, such as silica mesoporous nanocapsules (SiNC), have emerged as a powerful tool for the controlled delivery and release of active compounds in various fields. However, the environmental impact of SiNC on marine biota, particularly when they enter the marine environment through wastewater effluents or direct release from maritime coatings, re-mains poorly understood. Studying their effec...
Metal bioaccumulation by the neotropical clam Anomalocardia flexuosa to estimat...
Cruz, Ana C. F.; Pauly, Guacira F. E.; Araujo, Giuliana S.; Gusso-Choueri, Paloma; FONSECA, TAINÁ; Campos, Bruno G.; Santelli, Ricardo E.; Freire, A. S.This investigation evaluated the bioaccumulation potential of the tropical estuarine bivalve Anomalocardia flexuosa for trace metals. To this aim, chemical and sedimentological analyses and bioaccumulation tests were performed. The sediments were mainly composed by fine-sands and mud, with variable levels of organic matter and CaCO3. Muddy sediments from a depositional site (P2) presented the highest concentrat...
