On Top of a Mining Disaster, Coping with Ethical Issues

Six months ago, the collapse of a mining dam flooded the village of Bento Rodrigues in the State of Minas Gerais, causing the death of 19 people, and transforming more than 700 km of rivers, which were the primary source of water and food for several communities, in a "sea" of red mud. Samarco Mineraçao SA, a joint venture between mining giants Australian-based BHP Billiton Ltd. and Vale S.A., operates the Fe ore extraction and the dams of Fundao, Germano and Santarém in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It has been estimated that more than 40 million m3 of mining residues slid down a mountainside when Fundao tailing dam failed. At least 1,500 ha of natural reserves (Rio Doce State Park, Sete Saloes State Park, and Goytacazes National Forest), and Krenak indigenous land were adversely impacted.

How to cite this article

 

Nanostructures such as liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, carbon dots and carbon nanotubes appeared as important nanocarriers acting on Aedes aegypti control. Some of them have effective antiviral properties that open a new strategy for mosquito control.

Diphenyl amines were synthesized using an efficient procedure and evaluated for their in vitro anti-bacterial activity against eight standard Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Most of the synthesized compounds displayed good anti-Staphylococcal activity. Potential compounds were further evaluated against resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Compounds 2-(2,4-dinitrophenylamino)-phenol and 2-(2-nitrophenylamino)-phenol demonstrated promising results in initial studies.

Ultraviolet (UV) characteristic profiles and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic fingerprints of green bean extracts of Coffea arabica L., cultivated in two planting patterns and at two different densities, were analyzed with principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses. The results show that chlorogenic acids and caffeine differentiated the UV and FTIR fingerprints of these treatments.
