Contamination of rivers and lakes, waste disposed by infiltration into the soil as fertilizer, for example, has been highlighted around the world, since such compounds can contain toxic elements, causing changes in aquatic and/or terrestrial ecosystem. Due to the possible presence of these elements in these wastes, it is possible assess damage to organisms exposed through breaks in genetic material and mutations. In this sense, this work aimed at exploring the cytotoxic, mutagenic and genotoxic vinasse pontential, residue used as fertilizer, from the processing of sugar cane into alcohol, using fish (Oreochromis niloticus - Cichlidae) as a test organism. The individuals were exposed to different dilutions of vinasse in the water and later carried out analysis of their erythrocytes using the micronucleus test and nuclear abnormalities associated and the comet assay. In the first bioassay, tilapia exhibited 5% and 10% vinasse concentrations died after 48h. The number of micronucleated erythrocytes was statistically significant for the 1% vinasse concentration and also for nuclear abnormalities such as broken-egg and nuclear bud, when compared with negative and positive controls; were also significant lobed type erythrocytes, when compared to the negative control. The test results of the comet assay were not significant for 1% vinasse when compared to the negative control, due to the high rate of comets with damage control, which is unusual. The same was observed for changes as notched and blebbed type. In the second chemical analyzes conducted, the detection of heavy metals in the vinasse sample, charged only the presence of copper and chromium, the latter with a concentration 89 times higher than in the first test. Differentially the first bioassay, fish exposed to dilution of 5% did not die... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Um dos caminhos para identificar os contaminantes e seus efeitos em ecossistemas aquáticos é examinar a resposta de alguns organismos considerados bioindicadores. O presente projeto teve por objetivo avaliar a bioconcentração de cádmio e cobre pelo peixe de água doce Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia), visando, principalmente, estabelecer seu potencial bioindicador de contaminação destes metais em ambientes fluviais.Dentre os vários metais pesados passíveis de contaminação ambiental, o cobre um elemento essencial e o cádmio um elemento não essencial, são altamente tóxicos, mesmo em níveis de concentrações muito baixos e podem se elevar quanto maior for o nível trófico do organismo, podendo chegar ao homem em teores magnificados. Em condições laboratoriais, foram determinadas as toxicidades aguda de Cu, de Cd, e de Cu+Cd em tilápias em períodos de 24 á 96 horas de exposição. A partir dos resultados obtidos nos testes de toxicidade aguda, foi estabelecida a dose letal que levou a óbito metade da população (CL50). Os valores encontrados para o presente estudo foram: CL50-96h para cobre – 3,53 mg/L;CL50-96h pra cádmio – 20,13 mg/L;CL50-96h para cobre combinado ao cádmio – 1,36 mg/L. Foram avaliadas as concentrações dos referidos metais nos fígados e nas brânquias. O presente estudo mostra que em linhas gerais o fígado acumulou mais metal do que as brânquias, e que o processo de absorção do cobre é mais rápido do que o do cádmio para a espécie de peixe testada. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o cobre foi mais tóxico do que o que o cádmio, entretanto, a combinação de ambos metais apresentou maior toxicidade

The action of man has led, over the years, major impacts on the environment, especially in aquatic ecosystems, leading to an impairment of water quality, considered one of the essential factors for the maintenance of vital functions and consequently the life of the planet. Among the activities considered a risk for the environment are linked to pollution from many sources and even entire watersheds, whether by industrial waste, sewage, or for substances used in agriculture, such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. The (2,4-D) 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is used worldwide, and the fact that its genotoxicity is proven by several studies and by its long persistence in soil, which enables the leaching and percolation of compounds affecting water bodies, toxicity studies are relevant and justifiable. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of 2,4-D by examining the liver of the fish Oreochromis niloticus exposed to different dilutions. Portions of liver were collected and fixed for histological and histochemical techniques to detect total proteins, polysaccharides and lipids. lipids. Treatment with 2,4-D herbicide apparently did not alter the lipid profiles, the accumulation of polysaccharides, and the presence of total proteins. The 2.5 and 5.0% were lethal to fish. These mortalities are probably of high toxic and cytotoxic potential of 2,4-D herbicide results. Several histopathological changes were found, such as: loss of cytoplasmic integrity, loss of cell limit, nuclear deformation, vacuolated cytoplasm, tissue disorganization and hydropic degeneration. Statistically significant changes were: hydropic degeneration and vacuolated cytoplasm. It is concluded, therefore, that the qualitative morphological analysis is an important method for observing changes in liver toxicology studies. As the O. niloticus species is an efficient biological indicator of water pollution by 2,4-D
