Resumo: The Amazon is a region known worldwide for its biodiversity, but also has high mercury levels in various compartments of the environment. In this work, Hg was determined in sediment of Educandos Basin, one of the most populated regions of Manaus (AM), in order to establish the surface distribution of the contaminant in coarse and fine fractions. Surface sediment samples were collected in nine locations in the basin; three sources of the main stream and the rest in areas contaminated by human activity. Mercury concentrations were determined in raw samples (total fraction) and dried <63?m (fine fraction) by Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA-80). The results revealed a concentration of Hg in the springs of 0.24 mg kg-1, higher than the alarm values ??of guidelines for assessing the quality of sediments (SGQ). The other sampled points revealed enrichment Hg, varying the geoaccumulation index of moderate to heavily polluted at an early point of the stream the low to moderately polluted in other points.

Neste trabalho, o Hg foi determinado em sedimento da Bacia do Educandos, uma das regiões mais habitadas de Manaus (AM), a fim de estabelecer a distribuição superficial deste contaminante nas frações grosseiras e fina. Amostras de sedimento superficial foram coletadas em nove locais da bacia; três de nascentes do igarapé principal e o restante em áreas contaminadas pela atividade antrópica. As concentrações de Hg foram determinadas em amostras brutas (fração total) e secas < 63µm (fração fina) por Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA-80). Os resultados revelaram uma concentração de Hg nas nascentes de 0,24 mg kg-1, superior aos valores de alarme das diretrizes para avaliação da qualidade de sedimentos (do inglês, sediment quality guidelines, SGQs). Os demais pontos amostrados revelaram enriquecimento de Hg, variando o índice de geoacumulação de moderado a fortemente poluído em um ponto inicial do igarapé a pouco a moderadamente poluídos nos demais pontos.Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2016-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/kswpshttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/244694160202301616110.18540/jcecvl2iss3pp161-170The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 2 No. 3 (2016); 161-170The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; Vol. 2 Núm. 3 (2016); 161-170The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences; v. 2 n. 3 (2016); 161-1702527-1075reponame:The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciencesinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVporhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/jcec/article/view/2446941602023016161/pdfTorrezani, LarissaSargentini Junior, Éziode Oliveira, Cássio AugustoSantana, Genilson Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-14T22:45:16Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/2177Revistahttp://www.seer.ufv.br/seer/rbeq2/index.php/req2/oai2527-10752527-1075opendoar:2020-07-14T22:45:16The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
