To this end, I adopted an intersectional approach, analyzing how gender, race, class...

Wastewater Treatment Plants are a significant pathway for the emission of pharmaceutical concentrations into surface water, which can pose risks to aquatic species and human health. Using data on the quantity of medicines sold, it is possible to estimate the concentrations of pharmaceuticals that reach the surface waters after the treatment carried out in the treatment plants. In this sense, machine learning methods show learning capacity and, therefore, can be a relevant tool for proposing a...
