Ecotoxicological assessment of water and sediment of the Corumbataí River, SP, Brazil

Abstract: The Corumbataí River drains an economically important area which is mainly represented by the municipalities of Piracicaba and Rio Claro. In view of the impacts caused by the discharge of industrial waste and domestic sewage into the Piracicaba River, the Corumbataí has become increasingly significant as a source of water for the municipality of Piracicaba. However, chemical, physical, and microbiological analyses carried out prior to the present study had already indicated a decline in the quality of the Coru… Show more

“…Desta forma, apesar dos bens minerais contribuírem para o desenvolvimento industrial são, também, fontes poluidoras quando lançados em grande quantidade ao meio ambiente. 1,2 O lançamento dos efluentes industriais e domésticos, o intemperismo e outros processos pedogênicos que geram os elementos-traço sobre a rocha matriz podem propiciar um perfil completamente diferente ao da dinâmica de sedimentação encontrada nos ambientes naturais não perturbados. Estas incorporações que ocorrem, geralmente, de maneira lenta induzem a considerar erroneamente que não trazem efeitos graves, no entanto, levam à poluição dos ecossistemas aquáticos ou terrestres e consequente contaminação por metais-traço.…”
