Avaliação de risco ambiental por contaminação metálica e material orgânico em sedimentos da bacia do Rio Aurá, Região Metropolitana de Belém - PA
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2013-03) SIQUEIRA, Gilmar Wanzeller; APRILE, Fábio Marques
The Aurá River basin is situated in the Belém Metropolitan region, between the municipalities of Belém and Ananindeua, where the rate of population growth has increased without any social and environmental control. The region is intensely exploited and the more frequent environmental problems are deforestation, erosion, flooding, water pollution and contamination, especially by heavy metals and organic compounds (OC). Geochemistry behavior (Al, Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni and Cu) and OC levels were determined in the 30 sampling sites between 2008 and 2010 in the bottom sediments of the river. There is an uncontrolled sanitary landfill situated at the north of the Aurá River responsible, in part, by the metallic contamination of the sediments. The environmental stress is classic in the region, and it has resulted from anthropic activities, which has transported unconsolidated material associated to metals to the Aurá. The variables studied were classified on the transport mechanisms and sources (allochthonous and/or autochthonous). The results showed that the main contribution of ions Al and Fe was the sanitary landfill; Mn and Ni was the adjacent soils; Cr was modified (III/VI) by the allobiochemistry, and Cu by bio-induced processes.

Determinação dos elementos-traço (Zn, Co e Ni) em sedimentos da Plataforma Continental Amazônica sob influência da descarga do rio Amazonas
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2006) SIQUEIRA, Gilmar Wanzeller; PEREIRA, Simone de Fátima Pinheiro; APRILE, Fábio Marques
Determination of trace elements (Zn, Co and Ni) in sediments at the Amazon Continental Shelf on influence of the Amazon River discharge This research was developed at Amazon Continental Shelf (ACS) between the Orange Cape (Amapá State) and the Maguari Cape (Pará State), to determine the levels of zinc, cobalt and nickel in the superficial sediments identifying its inputs and outputs. The rate of these metallic elements in the sediments decreases following Zn> Ni> Co. The concentrations of total metals in the surface sediments range from Zn = 52.8 159.5; Ni = 21.7 47.4 and Co = 14.3 48.8 (mg.kg-1). The levels of trace elements observed in the sediments at ACS are of natural occurrence. Pollution sources of metallic elements were not observed.

Diagnóstico da qualidade da água do rio Parauapebas (Pará - Brasil)
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2012-09) SIQUEIRA, Gilmar Wanzeller; APRILE, Fábio Marques; MIGUÉIS, Antonio Miguel Borregana
The objective of this research was to develop a diagnostic of the water quality of the Parauapebas River (Pará, Brazil), in the dry periods of 2004, 2007 and 2009. In 20 sampling sites in Parauapebas River, around of the Parauapebas City, physical (transparency, water temperature and total solid residues), chemical (dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, alkalinity, hardness, acidity, chloride, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, total phosphorus, total iron and total nitrogen), and biological parameters (thermotolerant coliforms) were measured. The results were used for the determination of Water Quality Index (WQI). As support to the interpretation of these parameters, a Principal Components Analysis (PCA), multiple regression and linear regression analyses and, a general survey of physical, biotical and social-economic of the region were performed. WQI for the Parauapebas River, in the monitored area, was 40.01, which classifies it in the category "Regular". The PCA and multiple regression analysis identified four parameters that have been employed in the WQI determination and that influenced significantly the variation of the Index: dissolved oxygen, BOD, total phosphorus and thermotolerant coliforms, which explained 75% of the variation of the results. The results indicate that the urban expansion, in especial in the directions N-NW and S-SW, has reached the areas surrounding the Riparian Forest, and affected partially the surface water quality of the Parauapebas River.

Distribuição de mercúrio total em sedimentos da plataforma continental Amazônica: Brasil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2012-06) SIQUEIRA, Gilmar Wanzeller; APRILE, Fábio Marques
This study was developed at the Amazon Continental Shelf aims to determine the levels of total mercury in the sediment bottom, and them to contribute as environmental matrix for the general plan of coastal monitoring in the North Region of the Brazil. Twenty sampling sites between May and June from 1999 to 2002, 2005 and 2007 were analyzed. The results indicate there is not evidence of anthropic activities associated to the contamination by mercury in the region. The levels of total mercury founded range between 0.047 and 0.166 mg kg-1 with average of 0.085±0,026 mg kg-1. The results are inside of the background interval determined to not contaminated or not polluted Amazon Rivers, which the interval ranges from 0.05 to 0.28 mg kg-1. The mercury concentrations in the sediment bottom, especially in the mud sediment, had shown a narrow dependence with both the clay levels (fine material) and organic matter, corroborating important geochemical mechanisms in Hg dynamics. The largest adsorption of the mercury can be associated to the increase of the oxides and hydroxides compounds of iron, aluminum, manganese and others primary and secondary minerals from the rocks of the Amazon drainage basin.
