Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Ruth Pereira mostly deals with Ecotoxicology, Environmental engineering, Soil water, Acute toxicity and Toxicology. Ruth Pereira works mostly in the field of Ecotoxicology, limiting it down to concerns involving Daphnia magna and, occasionally, Ciprofloxacin, Antibiotics, Gambusia and Water column. The Environmental engineering study combines topics in areas such as Soil Pollutants, Exposure assessment and Soil quality.

Her work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry, Bioaccumulation, Zoology and Biota, which intersect with Soil water. Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil organic matter and Bioavailability. Her work investigates the relationship between Toxicology and topics such as Heavy metals that intersect with problems in Spleen and Veterinary medicine.

Her most cited work include:

  • Toxicity evaluation of three pesticides on non-target aquatic and soil organisms: commercial formulation versus active ingredient. (160 citations)
  • Histopathological and molecular effects of microplastics in Eisenia andrei Bouché. (153 citations)
  • Scalp hair analysis as a tool in assessing human exposure to heavy metals (S. Domingos mine, Portugal) (143 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Ecology, Effluent and Contamination. Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil contamination, Daphnia magna, Pesticide, Ecotoxicity and Eisenia andrei. Her study looks at the relationship between Daphnia magna and fields such as Toxicology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

As part of her studies on Soil water, she frequently links adjacent subjects like Environmental engineering. Her study explores the link between Ecology and topics such as Zoology that cross with problems in Gene. Her Effluent research incorporates elements of Kraft process, Acute toxicity and Pulp and paper industry.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (34.23%)
  • Soil water (18.47%)
  • Ecology (17.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (34.23%)
  • Soil water (18.47%)
  • Contamination (14.41%)

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

Ruth Pereira spends much of her time researching Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Contamination, Pulp and paper industry and Soil biology. Her Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Catalase and Daphnia magna, Raphidocelis subcapitata, Toxicity, Ecotoxicity. Ruth Pereira has researched Soil water in several fields, including Urban area, Urban planning, Bioavailability, Environmental resource management and Pesticide.

Her Contamination research includes themes of Environmental engineering and Bioaccumulation. Her studies in Pulp and paper industry integrate themes in fields like Chemical oxygen demand, Sewage treatment and Effluent. Her Soil biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oxidative stress, Microplastics and Ecotoxicology.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Oxidative stress, energy metabolism and molecular responses of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) exposed to low-density polyethylene microplastics. (50 citations)
  • Low-density polyethylene microplastics as a source and carriers of agrochemicals to soil and earthworms (46 citations)
  • SiO2 nanomaterial as a tool to improve Hordeum vulgare L. tolerance to nano-NiO stress. (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Oxidative stress, Catalase, Soil water and Microplastics. Her Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Contamination, Daphnia magna and Environmental risk assessment. Her study looks at the intersection of Contamination and topics like Bioaccumulation with Sewage treatment.

The concepts of her Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Environmental protection, Agriculture, Bioavailability, Earthworm and Environmental hazard. Her study in Microplastics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil biology and Ecotoxicology. Her Ecotoxicology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil contamination, Pollutant, Soil classification, Thiobarbituric acid and Pesticide.
