“…A value of 0.5 ≤ EF ≤ 1.5 suggests that traces of metal may be due to crustal materials or natural weathering processes. 37 In estuarine stations (6,9,10,11,12,13,14) and in mangrove stations (18,21,23,24), which presented EF > 1.5, there is evidence that an important proportion of traces metal is delivered from others sources, 38 suggesting environmental contamination by mercury and corresponding to the most contaminated region of estuarine system. All these stations (except station 12) presented mercury concentrations above 5 times the TEL (0.13 μg g -1 ) or over the PEL (0.70 μg g -1 ).…”

“…Os pontos que apresentaram EF > 1,5 indicam a evidência de que uma importante proporção do metal provém de outras fontes 40 , sugerindo contaminação ambiental por esses metais e indicando as regiões do sistema estuarino com maior grau de contaminação.…”
