The contamination of the waters resources for wastewater from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources is a serious environment problem, compromising its use for human consumption and agriculture. The Extremoz-RN Lake is an important freshwater source for the supply of the city of Natal, supplying a population of approximately 160,000 habitants. This aquatic body is located near an industrial pole which can be a serious risk factor for quality of its waters. The objectives of this study were examined the genotoxicity of Extremoz Lake between September of 2006 and January of 2008, by a combination of the Allium micronucleus test, piscine micronucleus test and the comet assay in erythrocytes from peripheral blood of Oreochromis niloticus. Additionally, the level of eight different heavy metals was quantified through spectrometry of atomic absorption of flame. The Allium test did not detect increase in the frequencies of micronucleus in none of the analyzed periods, however a strong cytotoxic activity was demonstrated for decrease in mitotic index in the analyses carried in April and July of 2007. Negative results had been detected in the frequencies of micronucleus in O. niloticus. A statistic significant increase was observed in the levels of DNA damage in comet assay carried in July of 2007. The results of the chemical analysis had detected increase in the levels of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in different periods. These results demonstrated an alteration of the water s quality of the Extremoz Lake caused for the contamination for heavy metals and increase of DNA strand breaks. The use of biomonitoring program of the heavy metal and other pollutants with genotoxic potential combinated with genotoxicity assays is recommends.

O emprego de mercúrio metálico nos processos de extração do ouro libera toneladas de mercúrio ao meio ambiente, provocando um aumento considerável nas concentrações presentes. Com a finalidade de prevenir a exposição humana a concentrações excessivas, o que poderá resultar em graves episódios de intoxicação mercurial, bem como avaliar a possibilidade de sedimentos tornarem-se fontes potenciais de contaminação para os seres vivos, é de fundamental importância a monitorização do mercúrio em diversos compartimentos ambientais. Efetuou-se a padronização de uma metodologia analítica para determinação de mercúrio total em amostras de água, sólidos em suspensão e sedimentos de corpos aquáticos para monitorização ambiental do xenobiótico. Posteriormente, foram analisadas amostras oriundas de regiões garimpeiras, com vistas a avaliar o desempenho do método em amostras reais e efetuar levantamento preliminar sobre a contaminação mercurial na área de estudo.

As plantas medicinais podem ser usadas como fontes alternativas de nutrientes minerais na dieta alimentar. Elementos como ferro, manganês e zinco apresentam biodisponibilidade variável em função de suas formas químicas (espécies) presentes em um alimento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o teor e a biodisponibilidade de ferro, manganês e zinco em extratos da casca do fruto e das folhas de Caesalpinia ferrea Martius por Espectrometria de Absorção Atômica com Chama (FAAS). Os agentes extratores testados foram as soluções de NaOH 0,05 mol. L-1, tampão Tris-HCl 0,05 mol.L-1 (pH= 8), tampão Tris-HCl 0,05 mol.L-1 (pH = 8) em dodecil sulfato de sódio (SDS) 1% (m/v), HCl 0,05 mol.L-1 e água quente (60 ºC). A casca do fruto e as folhas de Caesalpinia ferrea Martius apresentaram níveis altos de ferro e manganês quando comparados aos de outras plantas medicinais. Os elementos estudados mostraram predominante associação com compostos de alta e baixa massa molecular, espécies solúveis e insolúveis em água. Dentre os elementos analisados, o ferro apresentou melhor biodisponibilidade na casca do fruto e nas folhas. Manganês e zinco se mostraram mais biodisponível nas folhas. A casca do fruto e as folhas de Caesalpinia ferrea Martius podem ser uma fonte alternativa de ferro, manganês e zinco na dieta alimentar.

No presente trabalho descreve-se o método para determinação de arsênio, antimônio e bismuto em materiais geológicos, utilizando a geração de hidretos acoplado ao ICP-OES, que proporciona a determinação, com exatidão, dos elementos de interesse em concentrações abaixo de 1 ppm. O método é sensível e, por isso, está sujeito a interferências, como as causadas por elementos presentes na matriz. Desenvolveu-se uma técnica de dissolução eficiente e foram realizados diversos tratamentos com dopagens de soluções-padrão e testes com o uso de tiouréia e iodeto de potássio com ácido ascórbico em diferentes concentrações, com o objetivo de minimizar possíveis interferências presentes na matriz. Os resultados finais, mediante a dissolução de material geológico de referência internacional na determinação de arsênio, bismuto e antimônio, mostraram recuperações superiores à 97% em amostras com concentrações abaixo de 1 ppm.

Some authors consider minerals from organic sources more bioavailable for pig nutrition in comparison with inorganic sources. To evaluate the relative iron bioavailability from the organic source iron carbo-amino-phospho-chelate (ICAPC) to weanling piglets, it was conducted an experiment with 126 commercial piglets, using iron sulfate monohydrate (S) as standard. The experiment had a randomized block design with seven treatments (diet without adding specific source of iron, diet with 50, 100 and 150 ppm iron from S and diet with 50, 100 and 150 ppm iron from ICAPC), six replications and three animals per experimental unit. Performance parameters (average daily gain - ADG, feed: gain ratio - F:G) and blood variables (hemoglobin - Hb, hematocrit - Ht, transferrin - TR, latent iron-binding capacity - LIBC, total iron-binding capacity - TIBC, serum iron - Fe and transferrin saturation index - TSI) were evaluated. At the end of the experiment a piglet from each experimental unit was slaughtered and its liver and spleen removed for assessment of iron concentration by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The evaluated sources of iron yielded similar results for the variables of interest, but the increase in iron intake was followed by a linear increase in ADG, Hb, Ht, Fe and TSI as well as a linear decrease in the values of F:G, TR, LIBC and TIBC. Iron bioavailabilities from both ICAPC and S sources are similar for weanling piglets.

The recycling of metals from secondary sources can be advantageous. Among the metals of interest, we have cobalt, a metal used for various purposes. As regards the secondary sources of cobalt, the lithium-ion batteries can be considered, since they contain cobalt oxide in their composition (LiCoO2). This way, the objective of this work was to use the microorganism strains (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans) to bioleach the LiCoO2 extracted from discarded lithium ion batteries with emphasis on the recovery of cobalt for synthesis of new materials of interest. The lineage growth occurred in T&K medium and the growth investigation was made by observing the media, by platelet growth and microscope analysis. Then, the inoculum was standardized on 5 x 106 cells mL-1 and used in bioleaching tests. The bioleaching was investigated: the microorganism nature: separate strains and A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans consortium, bioleaching time (0 to 40 days), inoculum proportion (5 to 50% v/v), energy source (iron and sulfur) and residue concentration (1063 to 8500 mg L-1 of cobalt). The cobalt concentration in the media was found by atomic absorption spectrometry and the medium pH was monitored during the bioleaching. The results show that the amount of bioleached cobalt increases with time and the iron concentration. The bioleaching with A. thiooxidans was not influenced by the addition of sulfur. The use of the two lineages together did not improve the bioleaching rates. Among the lineages, the A. thiooxidans presented better results and was able to bioleach cobalt amounts above 50% in most of the experiments. A. thiooxidans presented lower bioleaching rates, with a maximum of 50% after 24 days of experiment. After reprocessing by bioleaching, the cobalt in solution was used for synthesis of new materials: such as LiCoO2 cathode and as adsorbent pesticide double lamellar hydroxide (HDL Co-Al-Cl) by the Pechini and co-precipitation methods. The reprocessed LiCoO2 presented a unique stoichiometric phase relative to the HT-LiCoO2 structure similar to the JCPDS 44-0145, presenting electrochemical activity when tested as a cathode material. The double lamellar hydroxide Co-Al-Cl was tested as pesticide adsorbent, being possible to adsorb around 100% of the pesticide. The bioleaching was efficient in the recovery of cobalt present in lithium-ion batteries and microorganisms presented high tolerance to the residue, being able to bioleach even at higher LiCoO2 concentrations. The cobalt bioleaching medium did not impair the synthesis phases and the obtained materials presented structure and activity similar to the sintered materials from the reagents containing cobalt.
