Marajó Island, an environmental protection area for sustainable use in the Brazilian Amazon, was the first region in Brazil to apply the pesticide DDT, a persistent organic pollutant (POP), to control malaria outbreaks. This study investigated background levels of various POPs, including o,p'- and p,p'-DDT and their primary metabolites (o,p'- and p,p'-DDE, o,p'- and p,p'-DDD), as well as hexachlorocyclohexane (α-, β-, γ-, δ-HCH), using estuarine surface sediments and sediment cores from areas influenced by urbanization and agriculture. All samples were collected during the dry season (September 2014).

- The study investigates the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the presence and behavior of JC Virus and Norovirus in municipal wastewater, using samples collected in 2020.
- It finds that JC Virus is consistently present in wastewater, indicating transmission through urine, while Norovirus shows changes with different detection rates before and after SARS-CoV-2 appeared.
- The results highlight the inefficiency of the wastewater treatment plant in removing viruses, which raises concerns about tracking viral disease outbreaks based on effluent data.
