RESUMOAs Bacias hidrográficas dos riosTarumã, São Raimundo e Educandos e seus afluentes estão sendo impactados, devido as influências antrópicas. Neste estudo foi realizada uma avaliação da toxicidade das águas destes ecossistemas, através de testes de toxicidade aguda com Daphnia similis e análises físico-químicas. Os resultados obtidos demostraram um maior efeito deletério sobre D. similis, nas amostras da microbacia Tarumã.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ecotoxicologia, toxicidade aguda, Daphnia similis,
Preliminary evaluation of the toxicity in water of the Tarumã, São Raimundo and Educandos basins
ABSTRACTThe Tarumã, São Raimundo and Educandos basins, and their tributaries, are impacted by antropic influence. This study tried to evaluate the water toxicity of the hydrographic basins, through acute toxicity bioassay using Daphnia similis as testorganism and physical and chemical analysis. The results showed that, of the three basins, the water from Tarumã caused the most deleterious effect on D. similis.
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.
