Abstract:Around the Ouro Preto region, State of Minas Eh, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, turbidity, alkalinity, chloride, sulfate, metals (Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Sc, Sr, Ti, V, Y and Zn)
ResumoNa região de Ouro Preto observa-se significativa presença de garimpos de topázio. Essa atividade caracteriza-se pela utilização de técnicas rudimentares e sem controle de descarte dos rejeitos. Entre os danos causados ao meio físico e biótico estão o desmatamento; geração d… Show more
“…The National Council for the Environment (CONAMA -Resolution 357, 2005) establishes a total Mn limit of 0.1 mg/l for class 1 waters (waters that can be used for human consumption after simplified treatment), 0.5 mg/l for class 3 waters (waters that can be used for human consumption after conventional or advanced treatment) and 1 mg/l of dissolved Mn for discharging effluents. However, research has demonstrated that Mn concentration in waters of mining and mine drainage regions, as well as industrial waste waters, exceed the recommended concentrations (Banks et al 1997;Sisinno 2003;Guimarães-Silva et al 2007).…”
The phytoremediation technique, which consists of using plants to remove ions, has been increasingly chosen over past decades due to its low-cost technology to mitigate contaminated areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the aquatic macrophytes, Azolla caroliniana Willd, Salvinia minima Baker and Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden, to accumulate manganese (Mn), an element which, at high concentrations, may be toxic to human populations. The three species accumulated Mn in their tissues and the absorption was independent of the metal concentration in the solution. Spirodela polyrhiza accumulated Mn at higher concentrations of the ion (17.062 mg g-1 MS), followed by S. minima (4.283 mg g-1 MS) and A. caroliniana (1.341 mg g-1 MS). Manganese excess reduced total chlorophyll content in all three species. Carotenoid content was reduced in A. caroliniana (27.02 %) and S. polyrhiza (25.34 %). Growth was only significantly reduced (21.34%) in S. polyrhiza. The species A. caroliniana and S. minima were able to tolerate excess Mn, but were inefficient regarding the accumulation of high concentrations of the metal. High accumulated Mn content in the tissues of S. polyrhiza suggests that the species is able to accumulate this element. Therefore, it has potential for use in phytoremediation and provides a new resource for exploring the Mn accumulation mechanism.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
