Resumo: To evaluate heavy metals contamination of soil, sediments, water and plants of the Caetés watershed, in Paty do Alferes, RJ, Brazil, by the use of agrochemicals, samples from two areas with different declivities (25% and 45%) were analysed, in 1996, for total contents of Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. The results for the soils under pasture (lately horticulture) showed higher heavy metals contents in comparison to the brushwood area. However, these contents didn't reach the critical levels for soils, and these elements were present in chemical forms of low disponibility for plant absorption, as it was seen in the very low levels of heavy metals in the samples of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.), green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The behaviour of the heavy metals in the sediment samples were the same of the soil samples, being these elements distributed, in higher percentages, in the residual, bonded to Mn and Fe oxides and bonded to organic matter fractions. The water samples from the stream and dam showed higher levels than the international standards for Cd, Pb and Mn.

Os resultados referentes aos solos sob pastagem (antiga área de olericultura) mostraram maiores teores de metais pesados do que a área de capoeira. Entretanto, esses valores não atingiram níveis críticos no solo, e esses elementos estavam presentes em formas químicas pouco disponíveis para absorção pelas plantas, como foi constatado na análise de metais pesados em tomate (Lycopersicum esculentum L.), pimentão (Capsicum annuum L.), repolho (Brassica oleracea L.) e pepino (Cucumis sativus L.), que apresentaram níveis baixíssimos desses elementos. Nas amostras de sedimentos, o comportamento dos metais pesados foi semelhante ao obtido nos solos, estando esses elementos distribuídos em maior porcentagem nas frações residual, ligadas a óxidos de Mn e Fe e ligadas à matéria orgânica. As amostras de água do córrego e do açude que cortam a microbacia apresentaram valores acima dos padrões internacionais com relação a Cd, Pb e Mn.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária BrasileiraRamalho, Jair Felipe Gracia PereiraSobrinho, Nelson Moura Brasil do AmaralVelloso, Ary Carlos Xavier2000-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/5917Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.35, n.7, jul. 2000; 1289-1303Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.35, n.7, jul. 2000; 1289-13031678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/5917/3021info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2010-08-11T19:10:23Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/5917Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2010-08-11T19:10:23Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
