ResumoO presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade ambiental de rios urbanos através do teste da cebola (Allium cepa L.) exposta diretamente no leito dos rios do município de Vassouras-RJ. O experimento teve quatro tratamentos, no Rio Bonito, Rio Santa Catarina e Rio das Mortes e na confluência dos três, e como testemunha, um lago próximo a uma nascente. Foram utilizadas cinco estruturas de isopor que permite as cebolas flutuar na água. Durante o experimento, ocorreu uma enxurrada que fez perdermos três experimentos, restando apenas a testemunha e o do Rio Bonito. Após sete dias, os experimentos restantes foram desmontados e mediu-se a massa e o comprimento das raízes. Os resultados obtidos entre o tratamento e a testemunha foram estatisticamente significativo, através do teste t-student (p<0,05), tanto no comprimento das raízes quanto na massa, assim podendo-se concluir que há compostos químicos que inibiram o crescimento normal das raízes no Rio Bonito e que, apesar de possíveis erros na metodologia, os resultados corroboram outros estudos com ensaios em laboratório. Evaluation of environmental quality by Allium test (Allium cepa L.) directly exposed in urban streams bed Palavras Avaliação da qualidade ambiental através do teste da cebola (Allium cepa L.) Exposta diretamente em leito de rios urbanos AbstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the environmental quality of urban rivers by the Allium test (Allium cepa L.) exposed directly in streams bed of the municipality of Vassouras-RJ. The experiment had four treatments, in the River Bonito, River Santa Catarina, River das Mortes, and in the confluence of the three, and as control, a lake near than a source. Styrofoam structures were used to allow the onion float over the water. During of the experiment, occurred a flood that did we lost three experiments, remaining only the control and the Bonito river. After seven days, the remaining experiments were dismantled and measured the weight and length of the roots. The results obtained between the treatment and the control were statistically significant, by the student's t-test (p<0,05), in both the length of the roots as the weight, thus we conclude that there are chemicals compounds that inhibited the normal growth of roots in the Bonito river, and despite the possible errors in the methodology, the results corroborate other studies with assays in the laboratory.
