“…This is an important aspect to be considered when environmental pollution by cadmium is concerned, as the coal mining activity is characterized by the generation of large amounts of by-products including the quoted metal (Nriagu & Pacyna, 1988). In addition, a recent study has shown the process of environmental contamination by cadmium arising from emissions of phosphate fertilizer factories located on a peninsula in the Patos Lagoon estuary, in southern Brazil (Mirlean & Roisenberg, 2006).…”

“…Large amounts of As and Cd have been detected in mine tailings, and deposited in soils [5,6]. Intensive fertilizer application also causes Cd and As accumulation in soil, plants and groundwater [7,8]. Toxicity of these two elements will cause serious public health problems when they contaminate crops and drinking water.…”

“…Em ambientes estuarinos, as principais emissões de cádmio incluem aquelas associadas a efluentes domésticos, pesticidas e produção de fertilizantes (Niencheski et al, 2004;Mirlean & Roisenberg, 2006). Sendo assim, outro motivo desse acréscimo pode ser os lançamentos aéreos das indústrias de fertilizantes, que lançam entre outros resíduos, o cádmio.…”

“…Sendo assim, outro motivo desse acréscimo pode ser os lançamentos aéreos das indústrias de fertilizantes, que lançam entre outros resíduos, o cádmio. O cádmio está presente em rochas fosfatadas utilizadas na produção de fertilizantes e que este pode chegar facilmente ao meio hídrico circundante através de emissões aéreas (Mirlean & Roisenberg, 2006). No período de verão/primavera, a produção de fertilizantes é máxima nas indústrias do complexo portuário do Rio Grande (Baumgarten et al, 1995).…”
