1. Spatial and Temporal Effects of Decommissioning a Zinc Smelter on the Sediment Quality of an Estuary System: Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was home to a zinc smelter until its shutdown in 1998, and during 2011 the remains of the smelter were decommissioned. This study investigates the impact of decommissioning on metal concentrations in the bottom sediments of the bay. In addition to Zn and Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb are also quantified. The results show that ov

2. Dredging impact on trace metal behavior in a polluted estuary: a discussion about sampling design
ABSTRACT Studies involving coastal sediment resuspension have shown that trace metals could be released to the water column due to changes in physical-chemical conditions. Therefore, if environmental agencies adopt screening protocols with insufficient evaluations of contaminant mobilization risks for a given area, the prediction of environmental impacts cau

3. Scenarios from the Eta Model on quality and hydrological quantity in the Atlantic Forest, Southern Brazil
RESUMO Este trabalho avaliou a resposta de dois cenários (4.5 e 8.5) do modelo Eta sobre a qualidade (sedimento - TSS, nitrato - NO3 e fosfato - PO4) e quantidade (vazão - Q) na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Concórdia, no bioma Mata Atlântica. A importância do trabalho está na verificação dos cenários até o ano de 2099, tendo em vista as prátic

4. Space-Temporal analysis of suspended sediment in low concentration reservoir by remote sensing
RESUMO O estudo de pequenos reservatórios e com baixa concentração de sedimentos em suspensão (CSS) ainda é um desafio para o sensoriamento remoto. Neste trabalho estimamos a CSS a partir das propriedades óticas da água e de imagens orbitais. Realizamos campanhas em datas escolhidas em função do calendário de passagem dos sensores, sazonalidade das

5. Automatic calibration of a large-scale sediment model using suspended sediment concentration, water quality, and remote sensing data
RESUMO A calibração e a validação são duas etapas importantes na aplicação de modelos de sedimentos que requerem dados observados. Nesse contexto, este estudo investigou o potencial de uso dos dados de concentração de sedimentos em suspensão (CSS), qualidade da água e sensoriamento remoto na calibração e validação de um modelo hidrossedimentol

6. Frequency of mentum deformity in Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera: Chironomidae) in a laboratory culture
Resumo A espécie Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera: Chironomidae) tem sido utilizada em testes ecotoxicológicos por ser sensível a uma variedade de poluentes inorgânicos. Um dos parâmetros utilizados para avaliar a toxicidade de uma substância é a frequência de deformidade do mento, que faz parte do sistema oral deste organismo. Entretanto, ainda não

7. Heavy metal concentrations and ecological risk assessment of the suspended sediments of a multi-contaminated Brazilian watershed
ABSTRACT. Metal concentrations in suspended sediments of one of the most polluted rivers in Brazil were measured. Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined by inductively coupled plasma while Hg and As were analyzed with hydride generation flow injection atomic absorption spectroscopy. Contamination of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, N

8. ORGANOCLORATED AND ORGANOPHOSPHORUS PESTICIDES IN THE PELOTAS RIVER SEDIMENT
ABSTRACT Aquatic sediments are widely used for the evaluation of anthropogenic contamination due to their ability to adsorb particles and contaminants, making them historical environmental archives. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the contamination of the Pelotas River sediments, at the border between the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do S

9. Phosphorus Forms in Sediments as Indicators of Anthropic Pressures in an Agricultural Catchment in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) fractionation is a suitable procedure to ascertain P lability in sediments and is able to distinguish sources of P under different soil management practices in a catchment. Brazil is the second largest producer and the largest exporter of tobacco in the world. Inadequate management of cultivated areas exposes the soil to erosion proce

10. Potentially mobile of heavy metals on the surface sediments in tropical hyper-saline and positive estuaries
ABSTRACT Estuarine sediments represent important pools of trace metals, released from both anthropogenic and natural sources. Fluctuations in the water column physicochemical conditions, on the other hand, may transfer metals from solid to liquid compartment and resulting in contamination of the surrounding environment. The present research was carried out t

12. Distribution and Sources of Aliphatic and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Surface Sediments of Itajaí-Açu Estuarine System in Brazil
The Itajaí-Açu estuarine system, located in southern Brazil, has great economic importance due to the presence of two ports (Itajaí and Navegantes). This system is affected by industrial and dredging activities, which can cause the remobilization of pollutants accumulated over time in the sediment. In this context, hydrocarbons were assessed in twelve sur
