Marcadores orgânicos de contaminação por esgotos sanitários em sedimentos superficiais da baía de Santos, São Paulo

Abstract: Recebido em 26/2/07; aceito em 26/10/07; publicado na web em 27/6/08 ORGANIC MARKERS OF SEWAGE CONTAMINATION IN SURFACE SEDIMENTS FROM SANTOS BAY, SÃO PAULO.Organic markers, such as sterols and ketones, were used to assess sewage contamination in sediments from the Santos Bay, SP, and its continental shelf. These compounds were analyzed by GC/FID after soxhlet extraction, clean up and derivatization. The concentration of coprostanol and ratios between selected sterols were used to evaluate fecal contamination.… Show more

“…Low significant linear correlations were observed for the variables TOC%, fecal steroids, chl a and phytosterols that could clarify the relationships. As may also be seen, for instance, in observations made in other tropical estuaries (CORDEIRO et al, 2008;MARTINS et al, 2008), no significant correlations between mud(%) and steroids were apparent -probably a result of multiple organic sources and coastal processes.…”

“…Despite the precarious sanitary conditions of the area, there is still a paucity of studies on the identification and monitoring of sewage organic contamination that could help to prevent potential adverse effects to both public health and environmental quality standards. Alternative indicators derived from cholesterol such as coprostanol, epicoprostanol, cholestanol, coprostanone and cholestanone have been applied for the identification of the chemical composition of sedimentary organic matter and particularly for tracking sewage contamination in diverse environments (GRIMALT et al, 1990;MIRSADEGHI, 1992;EGANHOUSE;SHERBLOM, 2001;MARTINS et al, 2008;COSTA et al, 2011). Cholesterol is reduced by bacteria in the intestinal tract of most mammals and birds resulting in coprostanol, the main fecal sterol (BULL et al, 2002).…”

“…Martins, et al 109 , a partir da análise de coprostanol em sedimentos superficiais da Baía de Santos, caracterizaram a área com a relação à contaminação fecal. De acordo com esses autores, os sedimentos do ponto localizado na desembocadura do emissário submarino de Santos encontram-se contaminados por esgoto domésti-co, e alguma contribuição fecal também foi observada na porção centro-oeste da Baía de Santos, justamente próxima e dentro de uma unidade de conservação de proteção integral (o Parque Estadual Xixová-Japuí).…”

“…No intestino, o colesterol é convertido em colestanol e em coprostanol, e esses podem ser eliminados nas excretas humanas. Por isso, o coprostanol e o colestanol são esteroides que estão presentes em efluentes domésticos (MARTINS et al 2008). …”
