“…Soil pollution with petroleum-derived substances (PDSs) entails a strong negative effect on both its physicochemical properties [1,2] and biological activity [3][4][5][6][7], as well as causing far-reaching changes in organisms indirectly exposed to these pollutants (e.g., herbivores) [8][9][10]. The components that are especially dangerous to the environment are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [11].…”

The research aimed at investigating the effect of soil contamination with various petroleum-derived substances (PDSs, e.g., spent engine oil, diesel fuel, and petrol) on springtail (Collembola) and mite (Acarina) occurrence over 28 months from the moment of pollution. We also assessed the effect of the bioremediation process supported by ZB-01 preparation on the process of soil settlement by the above-mentioned invertebrates. We tried to determine whether the occurrence and activity of these organisms may be useful as a bioindicator or monitoring tool for assessing PDS presence in the soil and speed of remediation process (both natural and supported). A combined method, i.e., pitfall trapping and analysis of soil samples, was used for assessing the presence of Collembola and Acarina. Considering the investigated PDSs, petrol revealed the shortest (about a year) negative effect on Collembola presence on the soil surface (measured by pitfall trapping), whereas it was visible for the longest time (2 years) for diesel fuel. Although initiating a bioremediation process using ZB-01 preparation on soil polluted with petrol (in the first year) and diesel fuel (in the second) resulted in a significant increase in Collembola activity on the soil surface, it limited this parameter in soil contaminated with engine oil and in the control soil (in the second and third years of the experiment). Both diesel fuel and engine oil revealed a strong negative effect on the occurrence of springtails and mites in soil (soil sample analysis)perceptible even after 28 months from the moment of soil pollution. At the same time, a visible positive response to applied bioremediation supported by biopreparation ZB-01 was registered. Analysis of soil samples polluted with PDSs for springtail and mite presence may be a potentially useful indicator for assessing the degree of soil self-cleaning, since a perceptible response was noticed, dependent both on the PDS and the course of the supported bioremediation process.

RESUMO O reuso agrícola da água produzida é uma ação eficiente de gestão dos recursos hídricos. No entanto, é uma atividade potencialmente impactante ao solo e à água subterrânea, e dessa forma requer um monitoramento ambiental durante todo o processo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo o monitoramento da qualidade da água de um aquífero cárstico, situado no nordeste do Brasil, frente a um experimento de irrigação utilizando água produzida no campo de petróleo de Fazenda Belém, no Estado do Ceará. Foram avaliados 12 poços de monitoramento, amostrados em quatro etapas: a primeira antes da instalação do experimento de irrigação (CHA) e as outras três, respectivamente, durante (MO1), imediatamente ao final (MO2) e após o experimento (MO3). O efeito climático também foi considerado na avaliação, uma vez que os eventos de amostragem ocorreram em períodos sazonais distintos: o primeiro e o último no final da estação seca e o segundo e terceiro no final da estação chuvosa. As investigações foram realizadas considerando dois grupos de poços: a montante e a jusante da área do experimento em relação ao fluxo das águas subterrâneas. Para Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , K + , dureza total, HCO 3-, F-, As, B, Li e P, houve tendência de aumento das concentrações na amostragem de Monitoramento, em relação aos CHA. No entanto, esse cenário foi verificado em ambos os conjuntos de poços (montante e jusante) e, provavelmente relacionado a fatores naturais. As maiores concentrações ocorrem nas etapas de amostragem MO1 e MO2, ou seja, sob influência da estação úmida, quando a recarga de águas promove a dissolução dos constituintes carbonáticos presentes no aquífero, aumentando assim sua concentração dissolvida. As substâncias orgânicas analisadas não foram detectadas ou foram detectadas em concentrações muito baixas e dispersas e sem assinaturas específicas. A sua origem pode ser atribuída a fenômenos naturais ou difusos. Palavras-chave: água produzida, monitoramento, aquífero cárstico, hidrogeoquímica.
