The impacts of the SAMARCO iron tailing spill along more than 650 km, between dam and plume Doce River in Atlantic, were assessed by determination toxic metals. caused a substantial increase suspended sediment loads (up to 33,000 mg L-1), addition large depositions waste basin. highest estimated transport dissolved metals was observed for Fe (58.8 μg s-1), Ba (37.9 s-1) Al (25.0 s-1). Sediments reached enrichment factors (EFs) Hg (4,234), Co (133), (43), Ni (16), whereas As (55), (64), Cr Cu...
This review reports a discussion involving sources, adverse effects, and quantification of emerging contaminants that have polluted the environment, such as chemical elements employed in medicine (antimony, barium, gadolinium), microplastics water bodies, addition to pharmaceutical, illicit drugs, their metabolites wastewater sewage sludge. It also addresses pollution caused by urban areas, gas stations hairdressing salons. The main analytical methods recommended for determining all these...
