Poluição por mercúrio em aterros urbanos do período colonial no extremo sul do Brasil

Abstract: . The level of Hg pollution decreases from the oldest landfills of 18 th century to recent ones. Mercury distribution along vertical profiles resembles the same for copper, lead, and zinc, what allow supposing that mercury distribution has an autochthonous character. It is suggested that the principal source of mercury pollution was the activities related to animal skin and fair hair treatment, using ancient technology known as "carroting". Similar scenario of environmental risk could be met in other Brazilian… Show more

“…Research conducted in Rio Grande has found high concentrations of pollutants, including metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic and HPAs (aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons) in different environmental compartments, such as in air, water, soil and sediment [8][9][10]41]. The effects of these pollutants on children's intellectual functioning are well known.…”

“…7 Até a década de 1920 [...], escritos de militantes operários descrevem uma paisagem de chaminés, galpões industriais, maquinismos e toda a sorte de inovações técnicas [...] celebrado como sinais de um devir utópico, no qual a sujeição da natureza prometia ruptura com o império da necessidade (GANDRA, SILVEIRA, 2012: 81). 8 Referimo-nos, dentre outros, aos efluentes da fabricação de fertilizantes (MIRLEAN; OSINALDI, 2004), metais pesados (BENDATI; DICK, 2007;FRAGOMENI et al, 2010;SILVA, 2011), agrotóxicos (SÁ, 2006) e hidrocarbonetos aromáticos policíclicos (THEODOSIO, 2002), agentes mutagênicos e carcinogênicos ao homem e aos animais (JACQUES et al, 2007). suas implicações em termos de insalubridade para os operários e nos transtornos respiratórios para a população local (SANCHEZ, FERREIRA, GALIAZZI, 2011). Paradoxalmente, entretanto, a maior parte da população local parece não perceber ou se sentir atingida por tais circunstancias.…”

“…Previous studies have identified high concentrations of lead in soil (Fragomeni et al, 2010;Garcia et al, 2010) and atmospheric air (Vanz et al, 2003) in the city of Rio Grande, located in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Although Rio Grande has an important industrial complex associated with petroleum refining and harbor activities, the distribution of lead through the city seems not to be related to this industrial activities (Fragomeni et al, 2010;Vanz et al, 2003). Vanz et al (2003) warn that part of the contribution of environmental lead is not of industrial origin, but possibly related to fishing activities, lead-based paint or other unidentified activities.…”
