Relatório Final do projeto ALOP (ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-000004)

O Projeto ALOP teve início formal a 25 de Maio de 2016 e terminou a 31 de dezembro de 2019. Neste relatório final procuramos dar conta das atividades efetuadas e principalmente dos resultados obtidos. A tarefa está facilitada pois o projeto, em conjunto com as sinergias geradas com outros projetos e as colaborações nacionais e internacionais dos vários membros da equipa permitiram a publicação de um invejável n...

Influence of seasonality on the quality of oysters from the Sado and Mira rivers

There is a lack of knowledge about the influence of seasonality on the microbial and physicochemical quality of oysters in Sado and Mira rivers. Water, sediment, and oysters (Crassostrea angulata and Crassostrea gigas) were collected for microbiological, nutritional, and sensory analyses. The microbiological water quality and the oyster shell contamination were better during the warmer months. No seasonal effec...

Development of spaghettis with alternative flours

Ecotoxicological efficiency of advanced ozonation processes with TiO2 and black...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ecotoxicological efficiency of two advanced ozonation processes (AOzPs), the catalytic ozonation (O3/TiO2) and the photocatalytic ozonation (O3/TiO2/black light), in the remotion of carbamazepine. The ecotoxicological efficiency was assessed through the use of lethal and sublethal assays with species Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna. Results demonstrated that th...

Toxic potential of the emerging contaminant nicotine to the aquatic ecosystem

Abstract Nicotine is a Blife-style compound^ widely consumed by human populations and, consequently, often found in surface waters. This fact presents a concern for possible effects in the aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study was to assess the potential lethal and sublethal toxicity of nicotine in aquatic organisms from different trophic levels (Vibrio fischeri, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Thamn...

Assessment of the effects of the carbamazepine on the endogenous endocrine syst...

In the present study, the endocrine activity of the antiepileptic pharmaceutical carbamazepine (CBZ) in the crustacean Daphnia magna was assessed. To assess the hormonal activity of the drug, we exposed maternal daphnids and embryos to environmental relevant concentrations of CBZ (ranging from 10 to 200 μg/L) and to mixtures of CBZ with fenoxycarb (FEN; 1 μg/L). Chronic exposure to CBZ significantly decreased t...
