Abstract: The aim of this study was to make a diagnosis of coastal pollution through bacteriological analysis of water taken from stormwater drain systems and the nearby seashore. The results were submitted to statistical analysis as to differences in the Most Probable Number (MPN) of fecal coliform (FC) found between the stormwater drain systems and adjacent seashore locations both at low and high tides. The main conclusions were: (a) most water samples collected from the stormwater systems presented MPN values for FC … Show more

“…Contaminated water discharge into the sea through storm drains has been observed in some studies in other capitals of the northeast region of Brazil. High FC concentrations (10 6 -10 7 ) were found in storm drains of Fortaleza and Natal and attributed to contamination by sewage ( Cardonha et al ., 2004 ; Vieira et al ., 2002 ). This seems to be a common situation, since in storm drain 1, in an earlier study, Escherichia coli concentrations of the same magnitude were detected (data not shown).…”

“…Assim como no presente estudo, Vieira et al (2002) também encontraram valores de coliformes termotolerantes menores nas águas marinhas adjacentes que os observados em três galerias pluviais de Fortaleza, Ceará. Entretanto, ao contrário do observado nas águas marinhas próximas da Gamboa do Olho d'Água, os autores observaram valores menores destes micro-organismos no mar adjacente durante as baixa-mares.…”

“…Vieira et al (2002a) apontam uma galeria pluvial, visivelmente contaminada com água estagnada, como um dos fatores de poluição da Praia do Meireles em Fortaleza (CE), sendo um dos responsáveis pelos valores elevados de CTT obtidos no estudo bacteriológico. Vieira et al (2002b) em estudo sobre análise bacteriológica de 45 amostras de água de 3 galerias pluviais de Fortaleza (CE) e de 45 amostras de água das zonas marinhas adjacentes às galerias, relataram que a maior parte das amostras de água coletada nas galerias apresentou valores de NMP/100 mL de CTT superiores a 1.000, fato relacionado a existência de esgotos ilegais conectados as galerias. Nas zonas marinhas adjacentes apenas 20% das amostras apresentaram valores acima de 1.000 NMP de CTT/100 mL.…”

“…A existência de galerias pluviais como vetores de poluição vem sendo relatada VIEIRA et al, 2002a;VIEIRA et al, 2002b;CARDONHA et al, 2004), sendo o grupo coliforme pertencente à família Enterobacteriaceae o principal indicador de contaminação utilizado. Para Vieira et al (1999) o grupo coliforme total está constituído por vários gêneros da família Enterobacteriaceae, a saber: Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter e Escherichia.…”
