Challenge: availability and quality of water;
Environmental changes are modifying how contaminants behave
on the environment;
Drugs adverse effects on biota and humans.
How much are in human supply reservoirs?
What are their ecotoxicological effects?
How climate change can influence the behavior of drugs on the
environment?
Investigate the presence and ecotoxicological consequences of
drugs in Brazilian aquatic ecosystems.
