4/4 Orlando is comparing the diversity and activity of bats between conventional farming practices that use pesticides and organic farming practices, while Alex is dedicated to understanding potential sound alterations in beehives exposed to the insecticide chlorpyrifos.
3/4 At BimaLab, we aim to deepen our understanding of the impacts of these substances on ecosystems, contributing with evidences to the need for more sustainable agricultural practices that are less harmful to biodiversity.
2/4 Additionally, these substances often lead to damage to human health, resulting in issues such as intoxication and irreversible diseases.
1/4 Today is the Day of Agrochemical Pollution Control. The widespread use of agrochemicals persists as a common practice in Brazil and many other countries around the world, raising concerns due to adverse impacts such as contamination of water resources and soil.
