“…The main types of soil use and occupation of the Taquari River Basin are agriculture and the Caldas Uranium Mine (CUM), which is currently in the decommissioning process ( Figure 1). Although no longer in production, previous works (Fernandes et al, 1995;Carvalho Filho et al, 2016;2017) in the area surrounding this former mine indicate possibilities for the generation of liabilities and contamination of the external environment, mainly as a consequence of acid mine drainage (AMD).…”

“…Estudos anteriores constataram que os efluentes da UTM-Caldas, incluindo as descargas do BF4 e da BR estão impactando negativamente os corpos d'água receptores, causando um incremento nas concentrações de metais e substâncias dissolvidas (Fernandes et al 1995, Fernandes & Franklin 2001, Carvalho Filho et al 2016, Carvalho Filho et al 2017 O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar se os efluentes advindos da UTM-Caldas estão causando interferências na qualidade dos sedimentos fluviais dos cursos d'água para jusante. Cinco radionuclídeos e vinte e três elementos foram selecionados e monitorados.…”
