Resumo: | Highlights: Water Treatment Plant sludge is a residue consisting of metals, such as aluminum, from the coagulants used in the process. Aluminum can be responsible for environmental impacts that cause symptoms of toxicity in vegetables, such as greens, and are also used as indicators of the presence of this element in the environment. Aim: Thus, this study sought to analyze the possibilities of using lettuce, Lactuca sativa L., as a bioindicator of environmental contamination by aluminum from the sludge generated in Water Treatment Plants. Design/Methodology/Approach: For this, a weighted analysis was performed that considered qualitative and quantitative parameters for the determination of the ideal bioindication, in which weights and grades were assigned to the aspects related to lettuce characteristics, comparing the sum to values presented in studies that used the same methodology. Results: In the weighting performed, it was observed that the sum of the scores presented in relation to the parameters of ideal bioindication for lettuce was quite satisfactory, with values close to and higher than those observed in other studies. Practical Implications: From this, it was possible to analyze that lettuce presents a potential use in bioindication of environmental quality, mainly for environmental impacts by metals, such as aluminum, present in Water Treatment Plant sludge. Originality/value: Therefore, this study contributed to the understanding regarding the good performance of lettuce in the identification studies of the ideal bioindication and the characterization of the species as a good bioindicator of environmental quality, as well as the fact that bioindicators are essential elements for the evaluation of tolerance levels related to possible effects from environmental pollution. Research limitations: It is assumed that field studies and laboratory analyses can prove the aspects evidenced here, especially the ability of the vegetable to indicate environmental impacts by metals present in the Water Treatment Plants (WTP) sludge, in this case, aluminum. |

Lactuca sativa as bioindicator of aluminum contamination in Water Treatment Plant sludgeLactuca sativa como bioindicador da contaminação por alumínio do lodo de Estação de Tratamento de ÁguaHighlights: Water Treatment Plant sludge is a residue consisting of metals, such as aluminum, from the coagulants used in the process.

O alumínio pode ser responsável por impactos ambientais que causam sintomas de toxicidade em vegetais, como as hortaliças, sendo também utilizadas como indicadoras da presença deste elemento no ambiente. Objetivo: Sendo assim, este estudo buscou analisar as possibilidades da utilização da alface, Lactuca sativa L. como bioindicador da contaminação ambiental por alumínio proveniente do lodo gerado em Estação de Tratamento de Água. Desenho/Metodologia/Abordagem: Para isso, foi realizada uma análise ponderada que considerou parâmetros qualiquantitativos para a determinação da bioindicação ideal, na qual foram atribuídos pesos e notas aos aspectos relacionados às características da alface, comparando o somatório a valores apresentados em estudos que utilizaram a mesma metodologia. Resultados: Na ponderação realizada, observou-se que o somatório das notas apresentadas em relação aos parâmetros de bioindicação ideal para a alface foi bastante satisfatório, com valores aproximados e superiores aos observados em outras pesquisas. Implicações práticas: A partir disso, foi possível analisar que a alface apresenta um potencial de uso na bioindicação da qualidade ambiental, principalmente para os impactos ambientais por metais, como o alumínio, presentes no lodo de Estação de Tratamento de Água. Originalidade/valor: Sendo assim, este estudo contribuiu para a compreensão em relação ao bom desempenho da alface nos estudos de identificação da bioindicação ideal e da caracterização da espécie como um bom bioindicador da qualidade ambiental, assim como para o fato de que os bioindicadores são elementos essenciais para a avaliação dos níveis de tolerância relacionados a possíveis efeitos provenientes da poluição ambiental. Limitações da investigação: Presume-se que estudos de campo e análises laboratoriais podem comprovar os aspectos aqui evidenciados, principalmente a capacidade da hortaliça em indicar impactos ambientais por metais presentes no lodo de ETA, nesse caso, o alumínio.ABEC2022-04-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/epub+ziptext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/171710.20985/1980-5160.2021.v16n2.1717Sistemas & Gestão; v. 16 n. 2 (2021): AGOSTO 20211980-516010.20985/1980-5160.2021.v16n2reponame:Sistemas & Gestãoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporenghttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1459https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1489https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1460https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1461https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1490https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1717/1462Copyright (c) 2021 Sistemas & Gestãohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira de Araújo, MarcosGiovanetti El-Deir, SorayaGomes Tavares, Rosângela 2022-04-05T16:48:00Zoai:ojs.www.revistasg.uff.br:article/1717Revistahttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sgPUBhttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/oai||sg.revista@gmail.com|| periodicos@proppi.uff.br1980-51601980-5160opendoar:2022-04-05T16:48Sistemas & Gestão - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
