“…Sediments can be used to reconstruct the past and in particular to identify the impact of human population growth and land settlement. For example, since the middle of the last century, it has been possible to identify numerous pollutants in lake sediments, which reflect the demand for hydrocarbon consumption and other anthropogenic chemicals in modern society (Souza et al, 2011;Froehner et al, 2009;Venturini et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2004).…”

“…Antimicrobial compounds with more or less strong activities could be isolated from many mushrooms and that they could be of benefit for human . There are many literature data concerning in vitro studies of antimicrobial potential of mushroom extracts, where tested extracts demonstrated activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as foodborne pathogenic bacterial strains, yeasts and micromycetes: phytopathogens and dermatomycetes (Soboleva et al, 2006;Hearst et al, 2009;Jagadish et al, 2009;Venturini et al, 2008).…”

Mushrooms for ages have been used by humans, not only as a source of food but as medicinal resources as well. They were used as a part of traditional medicine, first of all in the civilizations of the East and recently in Western civilizations. The mushrooms constitute 16,000 species worldwide with more than 2000 species identified as safe. Among these mushrooms, 1000 are edible, while others have been used as a source of biofuel, in medicinal formulation, as biochemicals, and for other purposes. Mushrooms have also huge potential, such as a "mushroom pharmaceuticals" with 130 medicinal functions. Therefore, they have been considered as potential source of antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory agents. This review focuses on the antimicrobial and analgetic activities of some medicinal mushrooms.

“…As concentrações foram similares àquelas observadas em regiões de grande influência urbana e industrial. 70,71 Segundo Venturini et al, 62,63 pelos índices usados para determinar a origem dos HPA, a contribuição é uma mistura de compostos petrogênicos e pirolíticos, principalmente derivados da queima de combustíveis fósseis. Esses dados de hidrocarbonetos, associados a outros da comunidade bentônica, mostram que a região central e o setor leste da área de estudo são zonas que apresentam um empobrecimento da fauna bentônica decorrente, principalmente, das maiores concentrações de hidrocarbonetos de origem petrogênica e pirogênica.…”

“…A MNCR representou entre 60 e 90% dos hidrocarbonetos alifáticos totais, indicando um alto grau de contribuição antrópica e a presença de resíduos de petróleo degradado. 62,63 A presença de uma MCNR na estação do rio Mataripe é um forte indício da presença de hidrocarbonetos de origem petrogênica.…”

Contamination at Todos os Santos BayAbstract: Todos os Santos Bay (BTS) is the second largest coastal bay in Brazil, which occupies an area of 1,233 km 2 and 184 km of coastline perimeter. The BTS includes an urban area, including Salvador, with more than 3 million inhabitants and an extensive industrial area. This paper focuses on the chemical contamination of the atmosphere and marine coastal system of BTS, discussing the main sources of different compounds found. In several regions of the BTS atmospheric particulate matter, suspended particulate matter, algae, sediment and biota are enriched with trace elements (As, Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, Mn, Co, Cu, Sb, among others) and organic contaminants (PAH and n-alkanes) at concentration levels above those considered "natural". Therefore, anthropogenic contributions (industrial discharges and domestic oil and gas extraction, power generation processes, vehicular emission and port activities) contributed to the environmental levels of contaminants studied to date. Keywords:Contaminants; metals; hydrocarbons; atmosphere; sediments; biota; Todos os Santos Bay. ResumoA Baía de Todos os Santos (BTS) é a segunda maior baía costeira do Brasil, em que ocupa uma área de 1.233 km 2 e 184 km de perímetro de costa. O entorno da BTS compreende uma área urbana, incluindo Salvador, com mais de 3 milhões de habitantes e uma extensa zona industrial. O foco deste trabalho está sobre a contaminação química da atmosfera e do sistema costeiro marinho da BTS, discutindo as principais fontes de diferentes compostos encontrados. Em várias regiões da BTS o material particulado atmosférico, material particulado em suspensão, sedimentos e biota encontram-se enriquecidos por elementos traço (As, Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, Mn, Co, Cu, Sb, dentre outros) e por contaminantes orgânicos (nalcanos e HPA) em níveis de concentração acima do co siderado atural . Logo, as o tri uições antrópicas (descargas de efluentes industriais e domésticos, extração de petróleo e gás, processos de geração de energia, emissão veicular e atividades portuárias) contribuíram para os níveis ambientais dos contaminantes estudados até o presente momento.
