Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Pesticide
  • Internal medicine

João Paulo Machado Torres focuses on Ecology, Environmental chemistry, Toxicology, Pesticide and Bioaccumulation. His research integrates issues of Halogenated Diphenyl Ethers, Pollutant and Hexabromobenzene in his study of Environmental chemistry. His Pollutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pcdd pcdf, Hexachlorocyclohexane and Lindane.

The concepts of his Toxicology study are interwoven with issues in Soil water, Soil test, Contamination and Pyrethroid. His Pesticide research includes themes of Aquatic animal and Blubber. His Bioaccumulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vector, Leishmaniasis, Malaria and Maximum Residue Limit.

His most cited work include:

  • Dioxin- and POP-contaminated sites—contemporary and future relevance and challenges (298 citations)
  • Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) as new Stockholm Convention POPs--a global perspective on the management of Lindane and its waste isomers. (264 citations)
  • First Determination of UV Filters in Marine Mammals. Octocrylene Levels in Franciscana Dolphins (124 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Pollutant, Bioaccumulation and Pesticide. His research investigates the connection between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Contamination that intersect with problems in Food contaminant. Ecology is frequently linked to Continental shelf in his study.

His Pollutant study which covers Pollution that intersects with Environmental protection. His Bioaccumulation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Fishery, Biota and Animal science. He works mostly in the field of Pesticide, limiting it down to concerns involving Toxicology and, occasionally, Permethrin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (42.64%)
  • Ecology (20.16%)
  • Pollutant (18.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (42.64%)
  • Zoology (9.30%)
  • Bioaccumulation (18.60%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

João Paulo Machado Torres mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Zoology, Bioaccumulation, Fishery and Biota. His Environmental chemistry study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Bioremediation. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Contamination, Biomagnification, Pygoscelis and Interspecific competition.

His Bioaccumulation study incorporates themes from Fluoranthene, Chrysene, Phenanthrene and Transect. His Fishery research incorporates elements of Tuna, Euthynnus and Amazon rainforest. He has researched Biota in several fields, including Range, Chondrichthyes, Fur seal and Brain tissue.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fluoroquinolones in agricultural soils: Multi-temporal variation and risks in Rio de Janeiro upland region. (12 citations)
  • Laboratory and field tests for risk assessment of metsulfuron-methyl-based herbicides for soil fauna. (9 citations)
  • Preliminary study of long-range transport of halogenated flame retardants using Antarctic marine mammals. (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Pesticide
  • Agriculture

João Paulo Machado Torres mainly focuses on Soil water, Biota, Environmental chemistry, Pesticide and Poultry litter. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture, Toxicology and Water resources. His Biota study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Range, Fur seal, Biomagnification and Brain tissue.

His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Manure and Human fertilization. His work deals with themes such as Bay, Food contaminant, Mugil, Sardine and Mullet, which intersect with Pesticide. His Poultry litter research covers fields of interest such as Leaching, Fertilizer, Agronomy, Microorganism and Drainage basin.
