Wet and dry (dust) deposition was measured in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park. VWM pH was 5.3. Non-sea-salt (nss) SO4(2-) comprised 97% of total SO4(2-). The molar ratio [2(nss-SO4(2-)) + NO3-]/[NH4+ + H+] was 1.1, suggesting that pH is predominantly controlled by H2SO4, HNO3, and NH3. Wet deposition of NH4+, NO3-, and nss-SO4(2-) was respectively 0.59, 0.25, and 0.30 kmol ha-1 yr-1. Assuming that dry deposition of N can comprise 30-50% of its total (dry + wet) deposition, the latter is estimated to be 1.2-1.7 kmol ha-1 yr-1 (17-24 kg N ha-1 yr-1).

A Berner impactor was used to collect size-differentiated aerosol samples from March to August 2003 in the city of Aveiro, on the Portuguese west coast. The samples were analysed for the main water-soluble ion species. The average concentration of sulphate, nitrate, chloride and ammonium was 6.38, 3.09, 1.67 and 1.27 µg m-3, respectively. The results show that SO4(2-) and NH4+ were consistently present in the fine fraction < 1 µm, which represents, on average, 72 and 89% of their total atmospheric concentrations, respectively. The NO3-particles were concentrated in the coarse size. Chloride presented the characteristic coarse mode for marine aerosols. During some spring/summer events, an ammonium surplus was observed (NH4+/SO4(2-) molar ratios > 2), possibly due to greater availability of ammonia coming from agricultural activities or from the neighbouring chemical industrial complex. During the remaining periods, the aerosol was found to be somewhat acidic and predominantly in the form of ammonium bisulphate (NH4+/SO4(2-) molar ratios = 0.5-1.25). Samples collected under a major or exclusive influence of maritime air masses were essentially constituted by coarse particles with enrichment in sea salt, while for air masses of continental origin the contribution of water-soluble ionic species in the fine mode was more pronounced.

Rainfall samples collected in the downtown area of São Paulo city, during 2003, exhibited average concentrations of cadmium, lead and copper of 1.33, 8.52 and 49.5 nmol L-1, respectively. Among the major ions, NH4+ was the predominant species followed by NO3-, SO4(2-) and Ca2+, with volume weighed mean (VWM) concentrations of 37.1, 20.1, 11.9 and 10.8 µmol L-1, respectively. All the determined species showed high inter-events variability, including free H+ ions whose VWM concentration was 4.03 µmol L-1, corresponding to a pH value of 5.39.

This work describes methods for the simultaneous determination of Cd and Pb by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry in Brazilian nuts. The samples (~ 0.300 g) were digested to clear solutions in a closed vessel microwave oven. The pyrolysis and atomization temperatures for simultaneous determinations of Cd and Pb were 1100 and 2100 °C, respectively, using 0.5% (w v-1) NH4H2PO4 + 0.03% (w v-1) Mg(NO3)2 as chemical modifier. The limits of detection (3Δ) were 3.8 μg kg-1 for As, 0.86 μg kg-1 for Cd and 13 μg kg-1 for Pb. The reliability of the entire procedures was confirmed by peach leaves (No. 1547 - NIST) certified reference material analysis and addition and recovery tests. The found concentrations presented no statistical differences at the 95% confidence level.

Samplings of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) were carried out between the months of March and April of 2007, simultaneously in two areas of Londrina, an urban (Historical Museum) and other rural (Farm School-UEL). PM was collected using the cascade impactor consisting of four impaction stages (0.25 to 10 μm). The results indicated that the fine fraction (PM2.5) represented a significant portion of the mass of PM10 (70 and 67% in the urban and rural places, respectively). Cl-, NO3- and SO4(2-) were determined by ion chromatography and the size distribution is presented. Natural and anthropogenic sources were suggested to the ionic components in the fine and coarse mode of PM.

Objective of this work was identifying superficial water quality parameters, significant to semi-arid hydrographic basins, minimizing costs of water monitoring. The Salitre river basin, an important sub-basin of the São Francisco river, was used as a case study. STD, Cl-, DO, BOD, pH, NO3-, PO4(3-), Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb were considered the most significant parameters, with concentration levels found in some stretches of the basin not compliant with the current legislation. Some of the Salitre river basin sediments may represent a risk to the quality of the water body in relation to levels of nickel and zinc.

Air samples of fine (PM2,5) and coarse (PM2,5-10) particulate matter were collected in São José dos Campos from February 2004 to February 2005. Average PM10 mass concentrations was 31.2 ± 14.0 μg m-3, half of which belonging to the PM2.5 fraction. Ammonium and SO4(2-) were predominantly found in the fine fraction. Average (NH4)2SO4 concentration was estimated to be about 2.9 μg m-3. Chloride, Na+ and NO3- were mostly associated with PM2,5-10. Chloride deficits with respect to sea-salt Cl/Na ratio were found in both size fractions.

The reaction of 4-(phenyl)thiosemicarbazide with isatin yielded a new ligand, isatin-3-(N4-benzylthiosemicarbazone). Isatin-3-(N4-benzylthiosemicarbazone) deprotonated in ethanol/KOH reacts with an ethanolic solution of Hg(NO3)2 to give a mercury complex. The compounds were characterized by IR and X-ray single crystal structure determination. The X-ray studies revealed that the complex possesses a tetrahedral geometry with two deprotonated thiosemicarbazone ligands coordenated. The ligand and its mercury complex crystallize in the monoclinic (P2(1)/c) and triclinic (P-1) crystal system, respectively.

Two sampling points were chosen and forty samples were collected between January and December 2006 at Alto Sorocaba basin. The rainwater pH varied from 5.46 to 6.36 (Ibiúna) and 5.26 to 6.81 (Itupararanga), being Ca2+ the main ion responsible for controlling the rainwater pH. The ionic concentrations decreased in the following order: Ca2 +>Na+> Mg2+>K+ for cations and SO4(2-)>HCO3->NO 3->Cl- >PO4(3-) for anions. The annual atmospheric deposition appeared to be controlled mostly by following sources: mining activities and cement factories (Ca2+ and HCO3-), natural soil dust (Na+, Mg2+ and HCO3-), fossil fuel burning (SO4(2-)) and agriculture activities (K+, NO3- and PO4(3-)).

A procedure for the simultaneous determination of Cr, Ni, and V in urine by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS) was optimized by factorial design, and performed at a pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of 1300 and 2500 ºC, respectively, using 15 µg de Mg(NO3)2 as chemical modifier. Characteristics mass of 14, 6 and 220 ρg and detection limits of the method of 0.07, 0.38 and 0.75 µg L-1 were obtained for Cr, Ni and V respectively. The methodology was validated using a Liphochek Urine Metals Control sample (Bio-Rad) (P=0.05). The methodology was applied to samples of voluntary Venezuelan people, not environmentally exposed to specific emissions, and results ranging from < LOD-1.1 and 1.3-3.3 µg L-1 was observed for Cr and V, respectively, and not detectable levels for Ni.

Os objetivos do presente trabalho foram os de avaliar o efeito do pH sobre a germinação de conídios e o crescimento miceliano de F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici e o efeito da fonte de nitrogênio sobre o início do processo de infecção de raízes de mudas de tomateiro (Lycopersicon esculentum). Inicialmente quantificou-se a porcentagem de germinação dos conídios e o crescimento miceliano em meio Caldo Nutritivo com pH variando de 2,0 a 11,0. O pH do meio foi também medido ao final de 14 dias de crescimento do fungo. Avaliou-se, ainda, por meio de isolamentos e observações ao microscópio óptico, o efeito das fontes de nitrogênio sobre o processo de infecção e colonização das raízes. Utilizou-se a cultivar Kada Gigante e solução nutritiva contendo como fontes de nitrogênio N-NH4+, N-NO3- e N-NH4NO3, seguido da adição ou não de conídios do patógeno. As avaliações de pH da solução, das alterações morfológicas da raiz e da colonização pelo patógeno foram feitas até 240 h após a infestação. O N-NO3- proporcionou maiores valores de pH e favoreceu o desenvolvimento radicular, com aumento do tamanho e número de pêlos radiculares, e redução da taxa de adesão de conídios e da colonização por F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici comparado a N-NH4NO3 e, principalmente, N-NH4+. Estes resultados, porém, devem-se, mais provavelmente, ao desbalanço iônico nas plantas supridas com N-NH4+, do que ao efeito simples da variação de pH da rizosfera. O patógeno mostrou-se hábil em se desenvolver em faixa ampla de pH, 3 a 9, em meio de cultura.

Investigou-se o comportamento eletroquímico dos dímeros ciclopaladados [Pd(dmba)(mi-X)]2 [X = Cl (1), NCO (2), NCS (3), CN (4)] (dmba = N,N-dimetilbenzilamina) e do monômero [Pd(dmba)(MeCN)2][NO3] (MeCN = acetonitrila). Os resultados experimentais mostraram redução de Pd(II) para Pd(I) para os compostos 1-3, enquanto que somente para 1 observou-se a redução de Pd(I) para Pd(0) em uma única etapa. O complexo 5 mostrou redução de Pd(II) para Pd(0). Observou-se que a estabilidade eletroquímica destes compostos diminuem na seguinte ordem: [Pd(dmba)(mi-CN)]2 (4) > [Pd(dmba)(mi-NCO)]2 (2) > [Pd(dmba)(mi-SCN)]2 (3) > [Pd(dmba)(MeCN)2][NO3] (5) > [Pd(dmba)(mi-Cl)]2 (1).

A influência de digeridos e suspensões de açúcar no comportamento térmico de As usando Pd(NO3)2, Pd(NO3)2 + Mg(NO3)2, and Ni(NO3)2 como modificadores químicos foi investigada. Influência de 0,2%, 5%, 10% e 35% (v/v) HNO3 na calibração (1,00 - 10,0 µg As L-1) também foi feita. Um volume de 20 µL de amostra mais 5 µL Pd ou 5 µL Pd + 3 µL Mg, ou 20 µL Ni foi injetado no atomizador do GF AAS. Para cada modificador, temperaturas de pirólise e atomização foram avaliadas por meio de curvas de pirólise e de atomização, respectivamente. Para suspensão de açúcar, temperaturas de pirólise e atomização (Tp, Ta) obtidas foram: sem modificador (400° C, 2000° C); Pd (1400° C, 2200° C); Pd/Mg (1400° C, 2200° C) e Ni (1600° C, 2200° C). Os valores para digeridos de açúcar foram: sem modificador (400° C, 2200° C); Pd (1400° C, 2200° C); Pd/Mg (1400° C, 2200° C) e Ni (600° C, 2200° C). Paládio foi selecionado como o melhor modificador químico. O tempo de vida do tubo de grafte foi de aproximadamente 350 queimas, o RSD (n = 12) para uma amostra típica contendo 5,52 µg As L-1 foi < 2,2% e o limite de detecção foi 2,4 pg As. Recuperações entre 80 e 92% foram encontradas.

Nitroprussiato de ferro (FeNP) foi sintetisado e caracterizado por Infravermelho e absorção atômica. FeNP foi incorporado em eletrodo de pasta de grafite empregando-se como técnica de estudo a voltametria cíclica. O comportamento eletroquímico do eletrodo de pasta de grafite contendo FeNP apresenta dois processos eletródicos com potencial médio (Em) de (Em)1 = 0,24 V e (Em)2 = 0,85 V ( KCl =1,0M; v = 20 mV.s-1 vs ECS) atribuídos aos pares redox ( FeII/FeIII ) e FeII(CN)5NO/ FeIII(CN)5NO, respectivamente. A intensidade de corrente dos pares redox aumenta, linearmente com a velocidade de varredura indicando um controle de adsorção. O eletrodo de pasta de grafite modificada com FeNP apresenta estabilidade por vários dias. O estudo eletroquímico do eletrodo de pasta de grafite modificada com FeNP foi examinado em várias soluções de eletrólitos suporte sendo que a natureza do cátion afetam a intensidade de corrente e os potenciais dos pares redox ,deslocando (Em)1 para potenciais mais positivos na sequência: K+ >Na+>Li+ enquanto que a natureza do anion (Cl-, NO3-,SO4=) não afeta os pares redox. Os voltamogramas obtidos em diferentes concentrações de KCl (0,05 - 2,5 M)exibem deslocamentos do (Em)1 para potencial de valores mais positivos. Este deslocamento é linear com a variação da concentração do eletrólito suporte. A inclinação da reta é de 66 mV por década de concentração indicando a ocorrência de um processo quase nernstiano. O potencial médio permanece praticamente constante em pH entre os valores de 3,0 e 8,0. Um outro processo eletródico com (Em)3 = 0,47 V ocorre em pH < 3, sendo este atribuído a formação de novas espécies intermediárias.
