Breathing Could Bring Microplastics Into the Human Brain, Study Shows
Publicado em 16 setembro 2024MONDAY, Sept. 16, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time, scientists have detected microscopic microplastics lodged in the human brain. Researchers in Germany and Brazil say that 8 out of 15 autopsied adults had microplastics detected within their brain's smell centers, the olfactory bulb. The particles were likely breathed in over a lifetime, since tiny floating microplastics are ubiquitous in the air. Although microplastics have already been found in human lungs, intestines, [...]ver notícia -

This requires joint [...]ver notícia -
These are the climate change winners and losers
Publicado emSome plant species will be “winners” while others will be “losers” as global warming forces them to move uphill, suggests a new study. Researchers examined the current range of more than 7,000 plant species in Brazil's Cerrado savanna. They found that the fate of plant species will depend on where they live: lowland species can move uphill for cooler conditions, but mountain plants have nowhere to go. Dr. Mateus Silva, of the University of Exeter said: [...]ver notícia -
Newly discovered Amazonian fish are already threatened
Publicado em 18 maio 2022Two new colorful species of fish have been found in Brazil's Amazon Basin -- and they are already at risk of disappearing due to extinction.

One species, Poecilocharax callipterus, is distinguished by its long, striking red-orange fins and a dark spot at the base of its tail. The other new species, Poecilocharax rhizophilus is the most miniature [...]ver notícia
