Currently, people spend most of their time inside their homes. However, poor conditions in terms of comfort and quality of the indoor environment can pose high risks to the inhabitants’ health. Therefore, a good quality environment is essential, since, in addition to the hazards present in indoor air (e.g., particles, (S)VOCs, CO, radon and tobacco smoke), extreme temperatures, relative humidity levels, pests (...
Background and objective(s): Fungi are a group microbes that are found with particular incidence in the indoor environment. Their direct toxicity or capability of generating toxic compounds has been associated with a large number of adverse health effects, such as infectious diseases, allergies and other toxic effects. House dust is a time integrative matrix easy to obtain and have been recommended for epidemio...

In runoff water from highways are diluted several pollutants, that can affect groundwater resources, that depend on the traffic, as well as, on the automobile wear, type of road, infrastructure installed and waterproofing area. These discharges have impacts on the environment. To mitigate such impacts usually there are used retention/treatment basins. In this paper there was analyzed runoff water quality and th...
Woody biomass for energy obtained from short rotation woody crops (SRWC) needs to be managed in a sustainable way, thus allowing ecosystem conservation. However, there is a gap in our knowledge concerning the effects of these crops on soil organisms, of which collembolans represent a good indicator of soil quality. On the other hand, soil biological sciences are strongly affected by the taxonomic skill crisis, ...
