Quantificação de fluxos de mercúrio gasoso na interface solo/atmosfera utilizando câmara de fluxo dinâmica: aplicação na bacia do Rio Negro

Abstract: Recebido em 1/7/04; aceito em 28/3/05; publicado na web em 10/8/05QUANTIFICATION OF ATMOSPHERE -SOIL MERCURY FLUXES BY USING A DYNAMIC FLUX CHAMBER: APPLICATION AT THE NEGRO RIVER BASIN, AMAZON. Gaseous mercury sampling conditions were optimized and a dynamic flux chamber was used to measure the air/surface exchange of mercury in some areas of the Negro river basin with different vegetal coverings. At the two forest sites (flooding and non-flooding), low mercury fluxes were observed: maximum of 3 pmol m -2 h -… Show more

“…Recent studies [36][37][38] have shown that deforestation decreases the soil retention capacity of mercury. Magarelli and Fostier 36 have recently showed that, despite the strong adsorption into soils, mercury fluxes at the soil/atmosphere interface increases up to 20 times in deforested areas compared to soils with native vegetation.…”

“…Magarelli and Fostier 18,19 also showed the strong influence of deforestation on gaseous mercury fluxes at the air/soil interface. In forested areas, a low emission value (1.3 ± 1.3 pmol m -2 h -1…”

“…In the Negro river basin high mercury concentrations were found in soils (average value of 170 mg kg -1 ) [3][4][5][6][7][8] and in other matrices, although the median concentration in the atmosphere was relatively low, on the order of 1.3 ng m -3 . [17][18][19] Different from other regions in the Amazon, this basin has little gold-mining activity and there are many indications that naturally occurring mercury leaching from soil (99.7%) is the major pathway to mercury enrichment of the aquatic environment.…”

“…A Tabela 1 sintetiza as estimativas da emissão de Hg para a atmosfera no Brasil por diferentes fontes antrópicas. As estimativas de emissão apresentadas mostram que, apesar da grande diminuição da atividade garimpeira na Amazônia nos últimos anos, esta fonte ainda responde pela maior emissão de Hg para a atmosfera [21][22][23] . O garimpo de ouro responde por cerca de 30% das emissões totais de Hg para a atmosfera (cerca de 20 t ano -1 ), seguido pela indústria de cloro-soda que emite cerca de 17 t ano -1 (25%).…”
