This study provides an overview of the evaluation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in the coastal regions of Santos Basin, located in Brazil's Southeast region, the …

The basins of Campos and Santos, the most important offshore oil reserves in Brazil, hold
potential for being the largest offshore oil exploration fields in the next decades, mainly due …

Coastal ecosystems are facing increasing anthropogenic stressors, including rapid
urbanization rates and extensive fossil fuel usage. Nevertheless, the distribution of …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were determined in four dated
sediment cores collected in mud depocenters of the southern Brazilian continental shelf …

Three mangroves located in southern Brazil, Carijós (CA), Rio Tavares (RT) and Itacorubi
(ITA), with distinct anthropogenic influences, were assessed with regard to the presence of …

Abstract 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were evaluated in the Jaguaribe River
to explore the influence of grain size, organic carbon, humic and fulvic acids and black …

Trace metals, dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDTs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were quantified in surface sediments from …

In this study, a green microscale solid-liquid extraction method using a miniaturized device
combined with cleanup via dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (MSLE-DµSPE) was …

Coastal marine sediments are particularly exposed to human activities. The function of a
coastal ecosystem is largely affected by eutrophication, wastewater discharges, chemical …

The aim of the present study was to characterize the distribution and sources of terrigenous
