Considered the worst environmental disaster in Brazilian history, collapse of Samarco dam directly affected Doce river. Inhabitants living along river who relied mainly on river's water supply for agriculture and human consumption faced risk from mining residue exposure. This study aimed to investigate disaster’s impact small family farmers Minas Gerais Espirito Santo States by elemental quantification evaluate potential pathways contamination survey.

Studies have evaluated the dynamics of pollutants at base food chain to understand contamination in high levels trophic webs (as fishes and humans). The chain, especially for those that biomagnifies, represents beginning web. Those studies were possible from last decades due more precise analytical techniques. used mainly zooplankton since this group has an important function transfer matter energy phytoplankton, bacteria materials (e.g.; inorganic sediments, organic decomposition). These...
