Contamination and Toxicity of Surface Waters Along Rural and Urban Regions of the Capibaribe River in Tropical Northeastern Brazil

Abstract: The Capibaribe River provides water to a population of 1.7 million people in the Brazilian northeast, while receiving agricultural runoff and industrial and domestic effluents along its 280 km. The present study evaluated the ecotoxicity of surface waters along ten sites in rural and urban areas using zebrafish (Danio rerio) early‐life stages and related it to water quality indices and chemical abiotic variables. Lethality rates, delays in embryo‐larval development quantified by the general morphology score (G… Show more

“…Its basin has an area of 7454.88 km 2 and is considered one of the most important in the state. The Capibaribe River estuary, in the city of Recife, is highly impacted by anthropogenic activities, mainly domestic effluents, deforestation, and landfills ( Purificação et al, 2017 ; Holanda and Soares, 2019 ; Alves et al, 2021 ; Bertrand et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In addition, they are toxic and can interact with genetic material, causing damage to DNA. Therefore, they are also considered cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic agents (Alves et al, 2021;Carolin et al, 2017).…”

“…The current degradation of aquatic ecosystems is a re ection of urban and industrial development that contributes to the disposal of chemical pollutants, either by direct or indirect release into the environment (Alves et al, 2021, Lima et al, 2019. These contaminants originate from domestic, industrial, hospital, and agricultural wastes that are inappropriately released into the environment, compromising not only the ecological balance but also human health (Belchior et al, 2017;Ghisi et al, 2014).…”
