Assessment of microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems.Research on microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems involving the collection and analysis of microplastics in river environments. Tasks include field sampling to gather microplastics, laboratory analyses, and identification using FTIR spectroscopy. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the presence and characteristics of microplastics and their impact on freshwater ecosystems.

Research on the occurrence of plastics in coastal environments worldwide. The potential effects of these plastics on marine organisms were assessed through literature reviews and data analysis methodologies. Additionally, the gasification process was studied as a potential alternative to mitigate the environmental impact of plastics.

As a research member of the 'Assessment of the Risk of Pesticides in Water for Human Consumption' project, the evaluation focused on the exposure of Brazilians to pesticides not included in MS Consolidation Ordinance No. 5 – Annex XX of 2017. Data was compiled on commercialization, environmental dynamics, occurrence in aquatic matrices, and toxicity studies to assess the potential health effects of indirect pesticide exposure. The findings highlighted significant public health implications, underscoring the need for enhanced water potability regulations.
