Níveis de mercúrio em peixes consumidos pela comunidade indígena de Sai Cinza na Reserva Munduruku, Município de Jacareacanga, Estado do Pará, Brasil

Abstract: This study evaluated fish consumption and mercury levels in fish consumed by an indigenous community in the State of Pará. Eighty fish samples were collected (barbado, surubim, traíra, tucunaré, piranha, aruanã, caratinga, aracu, mandiá, jandiá, and pacu

“…Vários estudos têm mostrado não só a contaminação mercurial dos ecossistemas amazônicos onde essa atividade é desenvolvida, como os seus efeitos sobre a saúde das populações (Silva, 1993a;Mascarenhas et al, 1998;Santos et al, 1998;Brabo et al,1998;Brabo et al, 1999;Santos, 1993;Barbosa et al, 1995;Akagi et al, 1995;Lebel et al, 1997;Jesus et al, 1998).…”

“…The analyses of fish muscle have allowed the assessment of how humans have been exposed to mercury and the evaluation of detrimental effects on animals at higher trophic levels, especially in gold mining areas (Uryu et al, 2001). The mercury concentrations reported in the edible part of the fish collected from several Brazilian freshwater environments varies from 20 ng.g -1 to 700 ng.g -1 in non-piscivorous species and from 60 ng.g -1 to 1,000 ng.g -1 in piscivorous ones (Lacerda et al, 1994;Malm et al, 1995;Lacerda, 1997;Bidone et al, 1997aBidone et al, , 1997bLebel et al, 1997;Moraes et al, 1997;Castilhos et al, 1998;Brabo et al, 1999;De Souza et al, 2000;Lechler et al, 2000;Lima et al, 2000;Leady & Gottgens, 2001;Uryu et al, 2001;Da Silva et al, 2005;Farias et al, 2005;Fostier et al, 2005). The levels of mercury in the edible part of C. gilbert, a nonpiscivorous fish, were close to the lowest values reported for Brazilian fish, suggesting that there is currently a low impact of mercury in the middle Itabapoana River food chains.…”
