No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-04-01; Sediment samples collected in two harbors of a tropical region of Brazil were investigated for the distribution of linear alkylbenzenes (LABs), aliphatic (AHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The levels of hydrocarbons in sediments from Mucuripe and Pecém harbors were lower than those repor...
Exposure of aquatic organisms to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), such as phenanthrene (PHE), may increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause changes in the biotransformation systems. In addition, changes in water temperature can cause adverse effects in the organisms. Estuarine species, like the oyster Crassostrea brasiliana, can adapt and tolerate temperature variation. To evalua...
