Hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPAs) são compostos orgânicos originários de fontes naturais e antrópicas e, por apresentarem potencial carcinogênico e mutagênico, são considerados poluentes prioritários por agências ambientais. Desta forma, métodos analíticos para investigação de tais compostos que sejam rápidos e de baixo custo são de relevância considerável para o monitoramento ambiental. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos otimizar um método analítico para HPAs utilizando cromatografia líquida com detecção por arranjo de diodos (HPLC-DAD) e aplicar em testemunho sedimentar de região estuarina. Para otimização e avaliação do método, uma coluna sedimentar de 46 cm de comprimento foi coletada na foz do Rio Tucunduba (Belém, Pará) e seccionada em porções de 2 cm (subamostras). Após secagem, 30 g de cada porção foram extraídos com mistura de diclorometano em acetona (1:1) em ultrassom por 40 min. Os extratos obtidos foram centrifugados, purificados em sílica-gel, adaptação em funil necessária principalmente para reter partículas finas, e em seguida concentrados em rotaevaporador à vácuo e, por fim, filtrados com membrana de nylon 0,22 μm antes da injeção no HPLC. Amostras fortificadas com padrões analíticos de 16 HPAs e brancos também foram processados da mesma maneira. Um conjunto de parâmetros para validação do método foi investigado e observou-se: (1) boa linearidade: as curvas de calibração (analíticas) apresentaram coeficientes de correlação elevadas; (2) precisão adequada: obteve-se desvio padrão relativo dentro do aceitável, sendo o mínimo de 2,1% para acenaftileno e máximo de 19,7% para o fluoranteno; (3) limites de detecção baixos: entre 0,004 a 1,085 ng g g-1, viabilizando análises em concentrações reais in situ; (4) recuperação adequada para traços: sendo a mínima de 40,0% para o acenaftileno e máxima de 103,1% para o benzo(k)fluoranteno. As concentrações de HPAs totais variaram nas seções do testemunho sedimentar entre 60,77 - 783,3 ng g-1 de sedimento seco. O método otimizado mostrou-se vantajoso com relação aos tradicionais que utilizam extrator soxhlet e colunas de adsorventes para purificação de extratos por minimizar o tempo de extração e reduzir custos com uso de volumes menores de solventes para purificação do extrato. A limitação do método, porém, foi a coeluição do criseno e do benzo(a)antraceno e a sobreposição do fluoreno e acenafteno, além da quantificação benzo(g,h,i)perileno. Essa limitação provavelmente está associada à eficiência da coluna cromatográfica disponível para a análise, que é para aplicação geral. O método mostrou-se aplicável a amostras estuarinas complexas e ricas em silte e argila. Razões diagnósticas de HPAs parentais indicam fontes petrogênicas a profundidades de 24 – 26 cm, 28 – 30 cm; e fontes pirolíticas a profundidades de 6 – 8 cm, 10 – 12 cm e 14 – 16 cm respectivamente.

ABSTRACT: In Guajará bay, mouth of the Amazon River, is located the capital of Pará state (Belém) and its metropolitan area. Exists in this area an intense boat traffic, as well as transportation and sale of fuels in floating docks and activities related to the storage and transportation of oil in Miramar Petrochemical Terminal (TEMIR). Small spills and discharges of oil in water can serve as sources of pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are organic compounds generated by incomplete combustion of organic matter (OM) and are among the contaminants of most interest in environmental studies due to their mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. One way to detect and evaluate the impact of PAHs in an environment is using biomonitors, however the qualitative and quantitative analysis in sediments are most widely used. This study aimed to evaluate, by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), the 16 PAHs considered as priority by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States in sediments and benthic organisms (Namalicastys abiuma) of TEMIR. Field expeditions were carried out in December 2012, March, May and June 2013 representing the dried, wet (two samples) and dried seasons successively. Fine sediments levels dominated in both sampling periods and the %Fines in Guajará bays has a direct relationship to the %OM. In relation to the 16 PAHs studied, 10 of them were detected in the wet season sediments samples and 8 in the dried season. Even with a low diversity of aromatic compounds, sediment samples of the dried season presented greater ΣHPAs (1.351,43 ng g-1) than the sediments of the wet season (263,99 ng g-1), which can be related to the increased hydrodynamic in Guajará bay this last period. Correlation analysis indicated that ΣHPAs not seem to be influenced by %Fine and %OM. Benzo(a)pyrene accounted for 87% of ΣHPAs during the wet season, the other PAHs showed percentage ≤ 3%. During the other period stood out: pyrene (18% of ΣHPAs) fluoranthene (16%), the chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene (15%) and benzo(a)pyrene (11%). The use of the geochemical reason to interpret likely sources of PAHs indicated that there is a predominance of aromatics from pyrolytic origin in TEMIR. The activities that may be responsible for the PAHs levels observed in sediments and benthic organisms in TEMIR are the discharge of untreated domestic sewage and the emissions of particulates from cars and small/medium boats. The ΣHPAs seems to influence the density of polychaetes because a reduction of about 50% in the number of organisms was observed during the dry season when there was the greater amount of ΣHPAs in their body structure. Among the 16 PAHs studied, 11 were detected in the polychaetes during the dry season (ΣHPAsMED = 848,71 ng g-1) and 10 in the wet season (ΣHPAsMED = 141,85 ng g-1). Were highlighted during the dried season: indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene (47%) and pyrene (23%). While in the wet season: pyrene (23%), chrysene (17%), fluorene (17%) and fluoranthene (13%). The %Rec obtained was >>100% indicating a matrix effect and reducing the quantitative accuracy of results. The use of the polychaete N. abiuma as biomonitor of pollution by PAHs in estuaries not seem to be effective when the sample period is limited, because collecting it requires a great effort to obtain a small amount of mass and it still results in a matrix effect in the chromatographic analysis (method %Rec >> 100%) that may not be corrected due to the restricted availability of sample mass. Studies with a larger number of samples, enabling depth statistical analysis, and covering other collection points in Guajará bay are required to prove mathematically that has been stated in this dissertation.

Os hidrocarbonetos do petróleo, em particular os policíciclos aromáticos (HPAs), são marcadores de atividades antrópicas associados ao petróleo, a efluentes urbanos, a deposição atmosférica, além de serem produzidos na queima de combustíveis fósseis, carvão e biomassa vegetal. São classificados em petrogênicos, quando associados ao petróleo e seus derivados, ou pirolíticos, quando ligados a processos de combustão. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar a evolução das atividades antrópicas no Complexo Estuarino de Paranaguá (CEP), PR, Brasil, através da análise de HPAs em colunas sedimentares.

Se llevó a cabo la evaluación ambiental y el estudio del estado actual de la cuenca de la Laguna de El Hito referido a 18 hidrocarburos policíclicos aromáticos (PAHs) de 2 a 6 anillos bencénicos. Se determinó su origen a partir de diversos índices (%naftaleno, Fen/Ant y Flu/Pir), interpretándose tanto fuentes no antropogénicas (petrogénica) como antropogénicas (pirogénica). Se obtuvieron los mapas de distribución de las concentraciones de PAHs y de sus índices para localizar los puntos de concentraciones más elevadas. Ningún PAH superó las concentraciones marcadas por los Niveles Genéricos de Referencia (NGR) para la salud humana en los distintos usos del suelo del R.D.09/2005. Los PAHs con las mayores concentraciones fueron el naftaleno y el fenantreno.Environmental evaluation and analysis of the current state of El Hito Lake Basin referred to 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with 2 to 6 benzene rings was carried out. Different indexes were used to determine the source of PAHs (% naftalene, Phe/Ant and Flu/Pyr). Both non anthropogenic (petrogenic) and anthropogenic (pyrogenic) sources were interpreted. Distribution maps for PAHs and indexes were plotted to locate the position of the higher concentrations and, therefore, their possible sources. None of these compounds showed concentrations above the Soil Screening Levels (SSL) for human health in the different uses of soil as is established in R.D.09/2005. The ones that reached the highest concentrations were naphthalene and phenanthrene.

Estuaries are environments prone to the input of chemical pollutants of various kinds and origins, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Anthropogenic PAHs may have two possible sources: pyrolytic (with four or more aromatic rings and low degree of alkylation) and petrogenic (with two and three aromatic rings and high degree of alkylation). This study aimed to evaluate the levels, distribution and possible sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the estuary of the Potengi river, Natal, Brazil. Samples of bottom sediments were collected in the final 12 km of the estuary until its mouth to the sea, where the urbanization of the Great Natal is more concentrated. Sampling was performed on 12 cross sections, with three stations each, totaling 36 samples, identified as T1 to T36. The non alkylated and alkylated PAHs were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC / MS). PAHs were detected in all 36 stations with total concentration on each varying 174-109407 ng g-1. These values are comparable to those of several estuarine regions worldwide with high anthropogenic influence, suggesting the record of diffuse contamination installed in the estuary. PAHs profiles were similar for most stations. In 32 of the 36 stations, low molecular weight PAHs (with 2 and 3 ring: naphthalene, phenanthrene and their alkylated homologues) prevailed, which ranged from 54% to 100% of the total PAH, indicating that leaks, spills and combustion fuels are the dominant source of PAH pollution in the estuary. The level of contamination by PAHs in most stations suggests that there is potential risk of occasional adverse biological effects, but in some stations adverse impacts on the biota may occur frequently. The diagnostic ratios could differentiate sources of PAHs in sediments of the estuary, which were divided into three groups: petrogenic, pyrolytic and mixing of sources. The urban concentration of the Great Natal and the various industrial activities associated with it can be blamed as potential sources of PAHs in bottom sediments of the estuary studied. The data presented highlight the need to control the causes of existing pollution in the estuary

Con el desarrollo de este Proyecto se piensa aumentar los conocimientos sobre reacciones de sustitución nucleofílica que ocurren por el mecanismo de SRN1, tanto desde el punto de vista mecanístico como sintético. Proseguiremos con la síntesis y el estudio de la reactividad de halobicicloalcanos (mono o polisustituidos) frente a nucleófilos, para conocer la influencia de la energía de tensión sobre la reactividad de esta familia de compuestos. Se observará si es posible la Transferencia Electrónica intramolecular por la presencia no sólo de grupos aceptores de electrones sino también por la generación de un radical anión próximo al grupo saliente. En el mecanismo de SRN1 la mayoría de las reacciones no ocurren espontáneamente, sino que tienen que ser catalizadas para la formación de radicales aniones o radicales, que entran en las etapas de propagación de este mecanismo. Es nuestro interés el desarrollo del uso de I2Sm para iniciar reacciones de SRN1 en aquellos sistemas que no inician por fotoestimulación, o no ocurren por existir un corte en la cadena de propagación. Por modificaciones de los centros nucleófilos o por cambios de grupos funcionales se variará la reactividad o la selectividad de los mismos frente a radicales.
