The study focuses on assessing the dangers associated with mercury for the indigenous populations of the Upper Xingu, in the Brazilian Amazon, who consume fish from regions affected by illegal mining activity. The results highlight the existence of significant risks compared with established standards. As a suggestion, there is a crucial need to implement more stringent measures to reduce mercury contamination of fish and promote healthy and sustainable food choices among indigenous communities. Details are presented in the Article Assessment of the Health Risk of Indigenous People by the Consumption of Fish with Hg and As in Villages Located Close to Mining by Luciano V. D. da Silva, Simone F. P. Pereira, Cristiane C. Carneiro, Thiago M. e Silva, Ronaldo M. Rocha, Hemilton C. da Costa, Cleber S. e Silva, Alan M. F. de Souza and Maria L. S. da Silva on page 1796.

Glutaraldehyde-crosslinked beta-galactosidase was encapsulated using a pectin-alginate hydrogel matrix. In this technique, the thermal stability of the enzyme was improved and proved to be efficient for application in the hydrolysis of lactose in whey and whole milk.

Hydrophobic modification of polyimides (PI) films was successfully prepared using fluorinated polyaryletherketones (F-PEAKs) coated on PI films, and the water static contact angle of the films reached 128°. After extreme treatment, the modified films still maintained hydrophobicity.
