[en] NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC ORGANIC MATTER IN SEDIMENTS IN RIA DE AVEIRO, PORTUGAL: CHARACTERIZATION BY LIPID BIOMARKERS / [pt] MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NATURAL E ANTRÓPICA EM SEDIMENTOS NA RIA DE AVEIRO, PORTUGAL: CARACTERIZAÇÃO COM BASE EM LIPÍDIOS MARCADORES

JESICA PAOLA RADA ARIAS 20 April 2018 (has links)
[pt] A matéria orgânica (MO) sedimentar de origem natural na Ria de Aveiro e no estuário Mondego foi caracterizada usando a composição elementar (C e N) e lipídios biomarcadores (esteróis, n-álcoois e triterpenoides). A contribuição por esgotos foi avaliada através de coprostanol e outros esteróis fecais. Amostras de sedimento superficial foram coletadas em 22 estações ao longo das regiões. Os lipídios biomarcadores foram extraídos, purificação com sílica-gel e analisados por cromatografia em fase gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas. O carbono orgânico total (9,94 e 43,00 mg g(-1)) teve uma correlação com o nitrogênio total (r(2) = 0,86). A razão C/N molar (14,34 mais ou menos 1,75) foi um valor típico de MO continental. Existe uma contribuição maior de MO terrestre nas amostras, como mostra as evidencias: a predominância de n-álcoois de cadeia longa (maior ou igual à C22), maior abundancia no somatório de sitosterol, estigmasterol e campesterol sobre outros fitoesterois, como o colesterol e o brassicasterol; e a alta concentração de triterpenoides de plantas superiores, como Beta-amirina e a Alfa amirina. A concentração de coprostanol (0,05 a 16,6 microgramas g(-1)) indicou a presença de esgotos em sete estações localizadas no largo do Laranjo (S4, S5, S6, S7, S10), porto de Aveiro (S14) e no canal de Ílhavo (S16). Os aportes mais significativos foram no largo do Laranjo (S8 e S9) e no porto do Mondego (S19). / [en] The sedimentary organic matter (OM) of natural origin in the Ria de Aveiro and the estuary of Mondego River was characterized using elemental composition (C and N) and lipid biomarkers (sterols, alcohols and triterpenoids). In addition, the contribution by sewage was evaluated by coprostanol and other fecal sterols. Surface sediment samples were collected at 22 stations along the two regions. The lipid biomarkers was extracted, separated with silica-gel and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Concentrations of total organic carbon (9.94 and 43.00 mg g(-1)) was highly correlated with total nitrogen (r(2) = 0.86). The C/N molar ratio: 14,34 plus-minus 1,75 are typical values of OM of continental origin. There is a major contribution of terrestrially OM to the sediments, as suggested by proxies, including: predominance of long-chain (greater-than or equal to C22) alcohols, higher abundance of sitosterol, estigmasterol and campesterol over other phytosterols, like cholesterol and brassicasterol, and elevated concentrations of triterpenoids from higher plants, as Beta-amyrin and Alpha-amyrin. The concentrations of coprostanol (0.05 to 16.6 micrograms g(-1)) indicated the presence of sewage in seven stations located in the Largo do Laranjo (S4, S5, S6, S7, S10), Port of Aveiro (S14) and in Ílhavo Channel (S16). The more significant contribution of sewage was identified in the Largo do Laranjo (S8 and S9) and the Port of Mondego (S19).
