As a non-essential and toxic element, cadmium poses an important threat to aquatic
organisms and human food safety. In this study, the effects of cadmium on antioxidant and …

The disruption of the Fundão dam released 43 million m 3 of mine tailings into the Doce
River until it flowed into the ocean through the estuary. The mine tailing changed the …

Long-term exposure of populations to pollution may result in enhanced ability to cope with
environmental stress. To compare the responses of two Lymantria dispar populations living …
