Journal ArticleDOI
Microcystin-producing blooms--a serious global public health issue.
Daniela R. de Figueiredo,Ulisses Miranda Azeiteiro,Sónia M. Esteves,Fernando Gonçalves,Mário Jorge Pereira +4 more
TL;DR: With the increasing number of new microcystin variants discovered, the development of new rapid, inexpensive and sensitive enough monitoring methods to promptly screen simultaneously a great diversity of toxins and also check their toxic effects is becoming necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal distribution of microplastics in water and sediments of a freshwater system (Antuã River, Portugal).
Mariana Rodrigues,Nelson Abrantes,Fernando Gonçalves,Helena I. S. Nogueira,João Carlos Marques,Ana M. M. Gonçalves,Ana M. M. Gonçalves +6 more
TL;DR: Foams and fibers were the most abundant type in São João da Madeira, while fibers and fragments were themost abundant in Aguincheira and Estarreja in water and sediment samples, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity assessment of various ionic liquid families towards Vibrio fischeri marine bacteria.
Sónia P. M. Ventura,Carolina S. Marques,Andreia A. Rosatella,Carlos A. M. Afonso,Fernando Gonçalves,João A. P. Coutinho +5 more
TL;DR: These new results clearly show that guanidinium-, unlike the imidazolium- and phosphonium-based ILs, do not follow the trend of increasing toxicity with the increase in the alkyl chain length, and the introduction of oxygenated groups on theAlkyl chains leads to a decrease of the toxicity of guanIDinium and also imidrazolium compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing ionic liquids: the chemical structure role in the toxicity
Sónia P. M. Ventura,Ana M. M. Gonçalves,Ana M. M. Gonçalves,Tânia E. Sintra,Joana Luísa Pereira,Fernando Gonçalves,João A. P. Coutinho +6 more
TL;DR: The results here reported suggest the possibility of designing ILs with an enhanced hydrophobic character and lower toxicity, by elimination of their aromatic nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity evaluation of three pesticides on non-target aquatic and soil organisms: commercial formulation versus active ingredient.
Joana Luísa Pereira,Sara C. Antunes,Bruno B. Castro,Catarina R. Marques,Ana M. M. Gonçalves,Ana M. M. Gonçalves,Fernando Gonçalves,Ruth Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: This work intends to contribute with novel information on the effects of short-term exposures to two herbicides, with different modes of action, and an insecticide, as well as to corresponding active ingredients (Glyphosate, Propanil and Methomyl, respectively).
