Water quality is currently a subject of increasing concern, especially because the emerging pollutants contaminating aquatic environment. The aim this study was to verify presence in Iguaçu River, from source mouth, such as: pharmaceuticals, including acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), salicylic acid, ketoprofen (KET), naproxen (NAP), gemfibrozil and fenofibrate; female sex hormones, estradiol (E1), ethinylestradiol (EET) estrone (E2); UV filters, 4‐methylbenzylidene camphor octylmethoxycinnamate;...
ABSTRACT Parabens and triclosan compounds are widely used in pharmaceutical products, personal care, food various products of daily use. After use, the final destinations these contaminants domestic effluents environment if not collected or treated. The objective this study was to evaluate presence parabens environments a subtropical region, more specifically metropolitan region Curitiba (southern Brazil) possible effects aquatic through risk assessment use quotient (RQ). Samples were 20...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the water quality Miringuava River watershed through monitoring chemical parameters, assess presence Emerging Contaminants (EC) such as hormones and caffeine, determine General Index Human Contamination (GIHC). Theoretical Framework: Watersheds located near urbanized areas play a crucial role in resource management, especially when used for public supply. Due land use occupation, natural dynamics rivers, reurbanization processes, within is...
This article explores the applicability of fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy for estimating organic pollution in polluted rivers. The relationship between absorbance, intensity, dissolved carbon, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical (COD), other water quality parameters were used to characterize identify origin spatial variability a highly watershed. Analyses performed Iguassu River, located southern Brazil, with area about 2,700 km2 ∼3 million inhabitants. Samples collect at six...
Abstract Fluorescence and UV‐VIS techniques were employed for the investigation of natural organic matter (NOM) a tropical lake. The relationships absorbance/dissolved carbon ( A /DOC), fluorescence intensity/dissolved (FI/DOC), ratio (FR), peak wavelength with highest intensity (PW) used to distinguish pedogenic or aquagenic origin NOM. values FR, PW 285 /DOC high waters (HW) flooded period samples low (LW) dry season, except September 2002, confirm predominance material. spectra water...
ABSTRACT The growing urbanization in urban centers have continuously contributed to the deterioration of water quality rivers. use caffeine as a chemical tracer for anthropic activities is an approach environmental monitoring waterbodies, its limited humans and less susceptible sampling error comparing other traditional parameters pollution. To analyze possibility using parameter, influence over three watersheds (Atuba, Belem Palmital) from Greater Curitiba was observed five campaigns....
ABSTRACT Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered persistent organic pollutants and can cause serious damage in some organisms, including mutagenic carcinogenic properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PAH concentrations an urban basin use diagnostic ratios possible distinguish sources contamination. surface water analysis showed predominance compounds containing 3 4 rings while suspended particulate matter sediment there a 4, 5 6 rings. Although present low...
A influência do manejo ou a adição de contaminante ao solo, normalmente, induz uma resposta mais rápida sobre mesofauna solo que em outros atributos pedológicos, o torna esses organismos bons indicadores qualidade ambiental. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram identificar e quantificar os grupos da dos solos determinar teores Pb Zn plantas área mineração metalurgia Pb, no município Adrianópolis (PR), modo fossem gerados biológicos desses solos. selecionados apresentaram as seguintes...
Digestion is an attractive alternative in the treatment of waste generated agricultural industry, as it treats and also produces biogas that can be used power generation, resulting both environmental economic benefits. This study presents results anaerobic digestion cheese whey using swine wastewater inoculum. was performed sequencing batch bioreactors with a total volume 2.350 mL. In order to evaluate digester efficiency, collected gas meter. Methane concentration determined analysis kit,...
Female sexual hormones have attracted the attention of scientific community due to effects that they cause by interfering in endocrine system. Many contemporary studies sought monitor some main female surface waters Brazil. Current article evaluates presence 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, estrone and progesterone Curitibaand surrounding metropolitan area state Paraná, Brazil, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), performed at 7 different sites. The study revealed a range...
A extração sequencial permite obter informações mais detalhadas sobre origem, modo de ocorrência, disponibilidade biológica e físico-química, mobilização transporte dos metais pesados em ambientes naturais. Com o objetivo estudar as formas Pb Zn foram selecionados oito perfis solos diferentes locais dentro área mineração metalurgia Pb, no município Adrianópolis (PR), Vale do Rio Ribeira. As amostras coletadas nas profundidades 0 a 10, 10 20 40 cm. Foram determinados os teores totais sua...
