Biorremediação de solos contaminados por agrotóxicos organoclorados: uma revisão cienciométrica

Abstract

Scientometrics quantitatively determines the production of scientific activities. The aim of this study was to carry out a scientometric analysis of scientific papers published in the last 10 years (2010 - 2020), on bioremediation of soil contaminated by organochlorine pesticides. Fifty-six publications were included in the analysis, eight of which were found in Science Direct, twenty-three in Google Scholar and twenty-five in Web of Science. Forty strains and twelve of the organochlorine pesticides were used in bioremediation. Authors from fourteen nationalities published on this subject, with the region that most published articles was Asia (33), followed by South America (13), Europe (3) and Africa (1). All countries are part of the agreement signed in the Stockholm Convention of 2001, on the use of persistent organic pollutants (POP's). The articles were published in thirty-eight journals. The mean value of the impact factor was 3.79 (±2.26) for JCR and 0.85 (±0.50) for SJR. For the Qualis-CAPES evaluation, the predominance was Qualis B1 and B2 for the biotechnology area and A2 for the environmental sciences area.
