ResumoO rio São Lourenço faz parte da bacia do rio Ribeira de Iguape, fornecendo água para o abastecimento dos municípios de São Lourenço da Serra e Juquitiba. O rio é utilizado também como corpo receptor de grande parte da carga poluidora gerada por esses municípios. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os impactos do lançamento de resíduos de estações de tratamento de água (ETA) e esgotos (ETE) sobre os sedimentos do rio São Lourenço. Foram estabelecidos seis pontos de coleta no rio (incluindo pontos a montante e a jusante, tanto para a ETA quanto para a ETE), tendo ocorrido seis campanhas de amostragem. Em todas foi coletado material para ensaios ecotoxicológicos, e em duas foi coletado material para caracterização da comunidade bentônica (março e setembro de 2006) e uma para avaliação química (setembro de 2006 AbstractSão Lourenço River (SLR) is part one of the Ribeira de Iguape River basin, and provides water to supply the cities of São Lourenço da Serra and Juquitiba. The SLR also receives large amounts of pollution from these municipalities. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the impacts of the release of residues from water treatment (WTP) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) on the sediments of the SLR. Six sampling stations were established along the river (including upstream and downstream of both WTP and WWTP), and 6 sampling campaigns for sediments were conducted. In such 6 surveys sediments were collected for ecotoxicological tests, in 2 surveys, material was also collected for benthic community evaluation (March and September 2006), and in one survey samples for chemistry were taken (September 2006). Seven campaigns were conducted for water sampling aiming to ecotoxicological tests. The metal levels were low for all samples. The results indicate that SLR is influenced by other anthropic activities, beyond to WTP and WWTP discharges, and that sediments are more affected in this ecosystem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
