Researchers from the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture at the University of São Paulo (CENA-USP) have identified multiple classes of antibiotics in the Piracicaba River, a major waterway in São Paulo state, Brazil. Their findings, published in Environmental Sciences Europeshow that these substances are not only present in the water but also accumulate in fish. The team also examined whether a common aquatic plant in the region, Salvinia auriculatacould help reduce this [...]

A Viewpoint published on January 6 in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Mayana Zatz and colleagues at the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center at the University of São Paulo explores why Brazil may be one of the most important yet overlooked settings for studying extreme human longevity. The authors combine insights from their long-running national study of exceptionally long-lived individuals with recent discoveries in supercentenarian biology to explain why Brazil offers unique scientific [...]

Present in Brazilians' dietary routine, orange juice has also gained prominence in scientific research for its potential benefits to heart health. A recent study, published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, indicates that regular consumption of the drink can contribute to controlling blood pressure and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The research was conducted at the Food Research Center of the University of São Paulo (FoRC-USP), in partnership with the State [...]

Researchers associated with the Astrobiology Laboratory at the University of São Paulo (AstroLab-USP) have developed a new model that allows estimating the survival of microbial life subjected to ultraviolet radiation in liquid water with different concentrations of iron ions. The theoretical tool is relevant for simulating the habitability of lakes that must have existed on the primitive Martian surface, more than 3 billion years ago. The study was published last month in the journal [...]

Scientists linked to the University of São Paulo (USP), Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes) and the University of Santiago de Compostela, in Spain, identified a possible health risk for children up to six years old who consume bananas grown in soil contaminated by iron mining waste that reached the Doce river estuary, in Linhares (ES), after the collapse of the Fundão dam, in 2015. The results were published at the beginning of October in the scientific journal Environmental [...]

Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP), working together with the Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL), have found significant amounts of hazardous chemicals in plastic toys sold throughout Brazil. The team examined 70 products, including both imported and locally produced items, creating what they describe as the most extensive investigation in the country to date on chemical contamination in toys. The findings appear in the journal Exposure and Health Supported by [...]

Coastlines around the planet are being steadily “crushed” as climate-driven sea level rise combines with expanding development in coastal zones. This ongoing process damages the diverse life that depends on sandy environments, disrupts local economies that rely on fishing and tourism, and leaves coastal cities more exposed to encroaching waters. The concern was raised by Uruguayan marine scientist Omar Defeo, a professor at Uruguay's University of the Republic (UdelaR), during the [...]

SAO PAULO, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) — The Brazilian Government has completed the installation of the “ AmazonFACE ” project, the world's most important scientific station in tropical forests, aimed at studying the way in which the Amazon reacts to the increase of carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) in the atmosphere, as well as the effects of climate change, Brazilian press reported Sunday. The initiative is part of the agenda of environmental commitments of the South American country ahead [...]
