“…of metals such as iron and aluminum -Al (AMARAL, 2022) or even microbiological, such as Escherichia coli ( SANHUDO et al, 2021) In international studies, aquatic vertebrates such as fish are being used as bioindicators of water quality from the pressures exerted by heavy metals such as iron (Fe) on these populations (LI et al, 2019;MAHAMOOD et al, 2021). In the national territory, as well as in the Brazilian Amazon and Pará, research on the association between water quality and bioindicators is already occurring (BERSCH, 2020;GOMES, 2021) and directed to this metal because there is a presence of pathogenic microorganism's absorbers of it, which also contributes to the loss of water quality (ROMERO, 2020;STORTO, 2021).…”

Water quality, currently determined through laboratory analysis, can also be determined by the presence or absence of bioindicators sensitive to climate change, and these relationships can be the subject of studies in Environmental Education. The objective of this integrative analysis was to identify the existing gaps in physical-chemical and microbiological analyses, the use of biomonitors, the insertion of climate change and the role of Environmental Education as a fundamental complement to these analyses in the Pará Amazon, especially in the municipality of Paragominas. The secondary data were obtained from academic literatures published between 1997 and 2022, the year in which the National Water Resources Policy turns 25 years old. The data obtained and analyzed indicated that the research on water quality in the Pará Amazon, uses physical-chemical parameters, and compares the laboratory data obtained with the values established in Resolution No. 357/2005. The use of these parameters associated with aquatic bioindicators in Paragominas already presents data directed, with greater frequency, to the Uraim River, igarapé 54 and seven, which leaves a gap as to the Paragominas/Prainha River, which is a receptor of urban effluents and a tributary of the right bank of the Uraim; there are other gaps such as: scarcity of research regarding water quality and climate change are scarce; Environmental Education, although the municipality already has a plan for this, is still only applied in formal education spaces in lower and upper elementary school, but is not applied to users of water resources, which leaves them at the margins of this process. Therefore, these gaps become difficulties in the correct and active application of the NWRP.

“…The availability of this snail and its easy culturing suggests its usage as a bioindicator of environmental pollution with heavy metals (Habib et al, 2016). Biomphalaria snail is a good and sensitive bioindicator of chemical pollution (Morais et al, 2022). B. alexandrina snail has a significant biomedical interest for its role in the transmission dynamics of S. mansoni and its increasing usage in studying the complex host-parasite interactions and innate immune responses (Lotfy et al, 2005;Mohamed, 2011).…”

“…Heavy metals pollution of the aquatic environment caused severe damages to sh tissues and hence can affect human health (Ali et al 2019). Manganese (Mn), is an essential metal required for enzymes and cofactors but its higher concentration could cause several neurological disorders (Schmidt and Husted 2019) Environmental biomonitoring could help to elucidate the harmful effects of the heavy metal to the biological systems of the surrounding organisms (Morais et al 2022). Bioindicators are a group of species that re ect the natural state of the environment including biotic or abiotic changes in the habitat (McGeogh 1998).…”

“…These aquatic invertebrates could replace the higher vertebrate in the ecological studies because of the ethical rules and the low cost (Ibrahim et (Habib et al 2016). These snails proved to be a good bioindicator because of their adult and embryonic phases could re ect the pollution by both physical and chemical agents (Morais et al 2022).…”

Metal pollution results in many dangerous consequences to the environment and human health due to the bioaccumulation in their tissues. The present study aims to measure the bioaccumulation factor of the Manganese (Mn) heavy metal in Biomphlaria alexandrina snails' tissues and water samples. The present results showed the concentration of Mn heavy metal in water (87.5 mg/l) and its bioaccumulation factor in Helisoma duryi tissue was higher than that in tissues of Physa acuta and B. alexandrina snails. Results showed that 87.5 mg/l Mn concentration had miracidial and cercaricidal activities. Also, this concentration decreased the mean total number of the hemocytes after exposure for 24h or 48h, while increased both the mean mortality and phagocytic indices of the hemocytes of exposed snails. It caused alterations in the cytomorphology of the hemocytes of exposed snails after 24 or 48h, where, the granulocytes had irregular cell membrane, and forming pseudopodia. Besides, both levels of Testosterone (T) and Estradiol (E) were increased after exposure to 87.5mg/l Mn metal compared to the control group. Also, it increased MDA (Malonaldehyde) and TAC (Total antioxidant capacity) contents, while, decreased SOD (superoxide dismutase). Besides, it caused great histopathological damages in both hermaphrodite and digestive glands, represented in the degeneration of the gonadal, digestive, secretory cells and the connective tissues. Therefore, B. alexandrina might be used as sensitive bio-indicator of pollution with Mn heavy metal to avoid ethics rules; beside they are easily available and large in number.
