Survey of petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons in the São Sebastião Channel, SP, Brazil, November 1985 to August 1986

Abstract: A survey of the petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons levels on the surface waters of the São Sebastião Channel, São Paulo, Brazil is presented. The survey was done in order to assess the influence of the biggest maritime oil terminal of Brazil on the petroleum hydrocarbons levels of the area. Fourty four samples taken from 1 m depth were analysed by fluorescence spectroscopy. The highest level, 45.29 µg.1-1, was found on the side of an anchored tanker and the lowest detectable level was 0.19 µg.1-1.

“…Araçá sewer is stayed in an area with low values of current speed, making difficult the dispersion of the effluent. Furthermore, studies carried out in the area (Weber & Bicego, 1991;Ehrhardt et al, 1995) have shown that the muddy region of the São Sebastião Channel receive an important amount of organic input from the sewage pipe and its sediments always present hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, probably from the DTCS oil terminal activities (Zanardi et al, 1999a). The low density and diversity found at station 2 is probably linked to the presence of hydrocarbons.…”

“…The question remains whether we can classify these localities as places of incipient pollution. Studies here ( Weber & Bicego, 1991; Ehrhardt et al, 1995 ) have shown that the muddy region of the Channel receives considerable organic input from the sewage pipe and that its sediments always contain hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, probably from the DTCS oil terminal activities ( Zanardi et al , 1999a ). On the other hand, Zanardi et al (1999b) reported that the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons was always high in station 2 (southern island margin).…”

“…O Canal de São Sebastião (CSS) (Figura 2) apresenta 25 km de extensão, profundidades que variam de 20 a 40m e pode ser considerado um excelente porto natural, já que a região de maior profundidade acompanha a extensão da Ilhabela e essa se apresenta como uma barreira ao canal (Weber & Bícego, 1991;Cunha, 2003 (Cunha, 2003;TRANSPETRO). Dessa forma, diversas atividades responsáveis, não somente pelo lançamento de resíduos, mas também por episódios de derramamentos acidentais de petróleo tem sido intensamente desenvolvidas no CSS (Weber & Bícego, 1991;Pereira et al, 2012). (CETESB, 1994;Poffo, 2000).…”

“…Concentrações de HPAs já foram registradas na água e em sedimentos do Canal de São Sebastião (CSS) por diversos autores (Weber & Bícego, 1991;Gabardo et al, 2003;Medeiros & Bícego, 2004;Carvalho et al, 2008) e o fenantreno é o HPA de maior concentração na fração solúvel do petróleo que circula nos oleodutos do canal (Salvo et al, 2016).
