In runoff water from highways are diluted several pollutants, that can affect groundwater resources, that depend on the traffic, as well as, on the automobile wear, type of road, infrastructure installed and waterproofing area. These discharges have impacts on the environment. To mitigate such impacts usually there are used retention/treatment basins. In this paper there was analyzed runoff water quality and th...
Ao longo dos tempos, a degradação das águas superficiais e subterrâneas tem vindo a aumentar devido a várias fontes de poluição. Entre estas, pode-se destacar a água proveniente de infra-estruturas rodoviárias, dado que nestas escorrências se encontram diluídos e em suspensão poluentes. Estes poluentes estão associados, fundamentalmente, ao tráfego e desgaste automóvel, tal como ao tipo de via e infra-estrutura...
Serpentine soils represent challenging habitats for plants and soil dwelling organisms, such as collembolans, because they typically exhibit high levels of heavy metals (e.g. chromium, cobalt, and nickel). Serpentinized areas cover about 8000 ha in Northeastern Portugal. While the plant communities are well studied, the collembolans are virtually unknown. The data presented here represent the first effort to d...
Woody biomass for energy obtained from short rotation woody crops (SRWC) needs to be managed in a sustainable way, thus allowing ecosystem conservation. However, there is a gap in our knowledge concerning the effects of these crops on soil organisms, of which collembolans represent a good indicator of soil quality. On the other hand, soil biological sciences are strongly affected by the taxonomic skill crisis, ...
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the possible effect of nematode infection on anti-HBs antibody levels in the serum of seven-year-old schoolchildren vaccinated at birth with the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Anti-HBs and anti HBc antibodies were evaluated in the sera of 100 schoolchildren with at least one intestinal nematode and/or a positive serological reaction for anti-Toxocara antibodies an...
O levantamento de moscas sinantrópicas e seus parasitóides foi realizado de fevereiro de 1991 a abril de 1992 na granja Capuavinha Monte Mor, SP. A triagem do esterco foi realizada com funil de Berlese-Tullgren, método de flutuação em água e posterior dissecção de pupas que não originaram moscas, nem parasitóides. As espécies de moscas hospedeiras encontradas foram: Chrysomya putoria (Calliphoridae), Muscina st...
