Reconstruction of historical trends in potentially toxic elements from sediment cores collected in Bertioga channel, southeastern Brazil

Abstract: A B S T R A C TThe study presents an evaluation of potentially toxic elements deposition in Bertioga Channel (Southeastern Brazilian coast) along the last 150 years, the main anthropogenic activity period in the area. Five sediment cores by means of ICP-OES to determine the levels of metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) and As. The pollution load index (PLI) and enrichment factor (EF) were calculated to identify the relative elements toxicity of the sediments and the anthropogenic contribution of the investigate… Show more

“…This segment of the estuary has the most structurally developed mangrove areas (Schaeffer-Novelli, 1984) and represent an area with potential retention of anthropogenic substances. Although the channel is adjacent to a highly anthropized region, it is still considered a pristine environment (Gonçalves et al, 2013).…”

“…In spite of its ecological importance, urban development in the region associated to fisheries, mariculture and tourism have brought the contribution of waste influx, generating deposits and contaminating surface sediments along the Bertioga Channel, with environmental degradation of the region in the last decades (EICHELER et al, 2007;GONÇALVES et al, 2013).…”

“…Among the studies regarding contamination in the Bertioga Channel are LAMPARELLI et al (2001) that found levels of mercury between TEL and PEL in the sediment of the Bertioga Channel, next to the Santos Channel; ABESSA et al (2008) that ranked the Bertioga Channel as the third most contaminated area in Santos Estuarine System based on integrative approach of both environmental factors and contaminants; SILVA et al (2011) that found high values of zinc and arsenic in the region of the Santos Estuarine System; BORDON et al (2011) that foud mercury concentrations above TEL limit levels in sediment of the north outfall of the Bertioga Channel and other metal contamination confirmed for the bentic ecosystem of the Santos Estuarine System; GONÇALVES et al (2013) that found no significant levels of contaminants in the channel but arsenic ;and SOUSA et al (2014), who performed the most recent survey in the channel, found cadmium in concentration levels above TEL as well as LABs (linear alkylbenzene sulfonates), which indicates the presence of household sewage and aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons.…”

“…Em Bertioga, a principal fonte de contaminação são os esgotos domésticos, os quais são descartados no ambiente aquático muitas vezes sem tratamento, uma vez que seu sistema de coleta atende apenas 27% da população (CETESB, 2017;Morais et al, 2011;Zaroni, 2006). Essa introdução de substâncias com potencial tóxico no sistema aquático cria condições de degradação, comprometendo a qualidade ambiental no Estuário de Bertioga (Gonçalves et al, 2013). 3 5,3 5,0 5,7 3,2 2,5 2,6 7,2 12,1 8,9 5,5 6,7 6,4 4 5,1 4,9 5,7 2,7 2,7 2,5 6,5 11,2 10,2 4,2 8,9 6,4 5 5,5 5,0 5,6 3,3 2,6 2,6 7,1 10,6 8,5 3,9 7,1 5,8 6 5,6 5,0 5,7 3,1 2,8 2,6 5,3 13,0 9,4 4,3 7,7 5,5 7 5,6 4,9 5,7 2,9 2,6 2,7 6,2 11,0 9,5 4,9 9,0 6,3 8 4,8 5,1 5,5 2,9 2,6 2,6 6,5 13,6 10,1 3,8 7,1 6,1 9 5,0 4,9 5,4 2,7 2,6 2,6 6,4 14,0 9,1 4,3 7,8 5 9 10 5,9 4,9 5,8 3,2 2,6 2,9 7,0 12,3 7,5 4,9 8,3 6,8 11 5,7 4,8 5,6 3,1 2,6 2,6 6,0 12,0 9,0 4,5 7,3 7,5 12 6,0 5,2 5,9 2,9 2,7 2,6 6,2 12,4 8,8 5,0 7,2 5,7…”
