Chumbo e cádmio detectados em alimentos vegetais e gramíneas no município de Santo Amaro-Bahia

Abstract: Recebido em 16/10/12; aceito em 24/2/13; publicado na web em 15/4/13 LEAD AND CADMIUM DETECTED IN PLANT FOODS AND GRASSES IN SANTO AMARO, BAHIA. This study evaluated the level of the metals Pb mg kg -1 and Cd mg kg -1 found in plant species and the contribution of the levels detected in contaminated soils located in the urban area of the city of Santo Amaro, Bahia. Levels were determined by graphite furnace and flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed the presence of Pb and Cd in plant species … Show more

“…Previous studies performed in Santo Amaro showed even higher levels of contamination by lead and cadmium in the cassava with average of 16.8 and 0.93 mg kg -1 and concentrations ranges of 10.7-23.0 and 0.61-1.25 mg kg -1 , respectively. 28 Although the levels found in this study are lower than those ones reported in other works, it is clear the persistency of the contamination by toxic elements in this vegetable, even after 22 years since deactivation of COBRAC lead industry.…”

“…Magna et al, 28 while analyzing the vegetables grown in Santo Amaro, noted their ability in absorbing and carrying the toxic elements from the soil to the roots and after to the aerial part of the plant where there is a potential risk for consumption as food. These metals affect the nutritional values of vegetables and express a poisonous effect on humans who consume these food items.…”

“…Since its inhibitory effect on the growth of T. aestivum seedlings was higher in the root than in the aerial segment, the dry weight of the seedlings decreased significantly with increase in cadmium concentration. High sensitiveness of roots for cadmium may be due to the fact that the root is the apex region that faces directly heavy metal and be involved in the absorption process (Magna et al, 2013). Cadmium may also affect root metabolism, which shows sensitivity to Cd 2+ toxicity by a reduction in lateral root size while the main root became brown and rigid (Rascio, and Navari-Izzo, 2011).This is due to reductions in both new cell formation and cell elongation in the apex region of the root (Liu et al, 2004).…”

“…Although, most of the elements did not reach prevention values, contents exceeding the QRV limit and near the PV indicated soil contamination by anthropic activities and deserve attention because of the high toxicity of some metals. Bioavailability of toxic metals in the soil makes it possible for these elements to enter the food chain and affect human health (CHARY et al, 2008;BRASIL, 2009;MAGNA et al, 2013).…”
