TL;DR: Four streams in the city of São Gonçalo, were sampled to evaluate their potential as sources of nutrients to Guanabara Bay aiming to contribute with the government program to decrease the levels of pollution in this area, showing hipereutrophic with severe limitation of primary production by nitrogen.

TL;DR: The benthic foraminiferal assemblage presented larger diversity and more abundant samples in the lagoon entrance than in the inner area, and A. tepida shows negative correlation with increasing heavy metals values.

TL;DR: Foraminifera and ostracoda characteristic responses to the environment conditions related high TOC values showed their importance as bioindicators of stressed environments caused by anthropogenic pollution, in the Guanabara Bay as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the potential relationship between heavy metals (Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Ba, Hg, Pb) and microplastic particles in oysters sampled along the Paranagua Estuarine System.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of studies on microbial (mainly cyanobacterial) colonization of 32 cultural heritage stone monuments in Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Cambodia, Laos and Mexico, performed by four of the six authors over several years, were analyzed.
