Spring water quality monitoring using multiple bioindicators from multiple collection sites.

The aim of this study was to examine the water quality of the Extrema River spring in a Brazilian Cerrado area. Three collection sites (P1 - P3) were sampled in the dry and rainy seasons, which are close to industries from different sectors. In the physicochemical analysis, a decrease in dissolved oxygen levels (<5 mg/L) and pH (< 6) at P3 was detected.

Toxic Potential of Cerrado Plants on Different Organisms.

Cerrado has many compounds that have been used as biopesticides, herbicides, medicines, and others due to their highly toxic potential. Thus, this review aims to present information about the toxicity of Cerrado plants. For this purpose, a review was performed using PubMed, Science Direct, and Web Of Science databases.

hematotoxicity of leaf aqueous extract and its fractions.

, popularly known as 'assa-peixe', is widely used in Brazil for therapeutic purpose mainly to treat respiratory tract problems. However, few studies investigated its chemical safety. In this way, we first obtained the leaf aqueous extract (LAE) and three fractions (aqueous; n-butanol, n-BF; and ethyl acetate), and we chemically characterized this material.
