“…Due to their hydrophobic character, they are stored in soils and sediments for long periods, and are thus a target of environmental concern as they may impact the health of both aquatic biotas and humans (Jaques, Bento, & Camargo, 2007). Among the main sources of contamination, are oil spills and their derivatives, the combustion of fossil fuels, incineration plants and agro-industrial waste (Almeida, Bisinoti, & Jardim, 2007;Haritash & Kaushik, 2009). Globally, the existing environmental legislation on PAHs has been determined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (United States Environmental Protection Agency [US-EPA], 1983), which ranked a group of 16 individual PAHs as priority pollutants.…”

“…A crescente demanda e oferta de novos produtos químicos pela sociedade industrializada do século XX levaram ao incremento, no ambiente, de grandes quantidades de diversos compostos químicos provenientes das descargas industriais e de várias outras atividades antrópicas nos diversos compartimentos ambientais (ALMEIDA et al, 2007). A introdução desses produtos químicos sintéticos no ambiente vem alterando profundamente a disponibilidade natural dos elementos químicos para os organismos vivos e, por conseguinte o equilíbrio ecológico já estabelecido e a adaptação da biota lapidada por milhões de anos.…”
