Potential of an estuarine salt marsh plant (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. E...
Dias, Sofia; Correia, Bárbara; Fraga-Santiago, Pedro; Silva, Cristiana; Baptista, Paula; Gomes, Carlos R.; Almeida, C. Marisa R.This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a salt marsh plant and its rhizosphere microorganisms for the removal of two pharmaceutical compounds, bezafibrate and paroxetine, from estuarine environment. Plants were exposed for 7 days to a simplified estuarine medium, elutriate solution with or without sediment, doped with bezafibrate or paroxetine. Tests were done in absence and presence of nutrients or coppe...
In vitro exposure of acer negundo pollen to atmospheric levels of SO2 and NO2: ...
Sousa, Raquel; Duque, Laura; Duarte, Abel J.; Gomes, Carlos R.; Ribeiro, Helena; Cruz, Ana; Silva, Joaquim C. G. Esteves da; Abreu, IldaIn the last years, a rising trend of pollen allergies in urban areas has been attributed to atmospheric pollution. In this work, we investigated the effects of SO2 and NO2 on the protein content, allergenicity, and germination rate of Acer negundo pollen. A novel environmental chamber was assembled to exposure pollen samples with SO2 or NO2 at two different levels: just below and two times the atmospheric hour-...
