Abstract: Recebido em 22/3/05; aceito em 28/6/05; publicado na web em 20/1/06 SPATIAL AND SEASONAL VARIABILITY OF TRACE-ELEMENT CONCENTRATIONS IN SEDIMENTS FROM THE SANTOS-CUBATÃO ESTUARINE SYSTEM, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL. Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element concentrations. The study area contains a rich mangrove ecosystem that is a habitat for tens of thousands of resident and migratory birds,… Show more

“…1 The contamination potential of the steel production process has been largely studied, and in general the traceelement inputs to the environment may be significant, [24][25][26] as suggested by set of elements displayed in group 2 (Figure 5a). We examined previous works on the concentrations of some of these elements in the iron ores used in the steel plant of the present study, originated from some ore deposits of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (Minas Gerais State, Brazil), including the Águas Claras deposit.…”

“…Despite the implementation of contamination control policies, anomalously high levels of multiple contaminants have still been recorded in many coastal sediments, as observed in the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System in São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil. 1 This setting is historically, economically and environmentally important at a regional scale. Human activities in the estuary started in the beginning of the 16 th century, just after the arrival of the first Portuguese explorers in Brazil.…”
