Toxicidade dos sedimentos da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Monjolinho ( São Carlos - SP): ênfase nas substâncias cobre, aldrin e heptacloro / Sediment toxicity of the Monjolinho river basins (São Carlos - SP): emphasis in the substances copper, aldrin and heptachlorCampagna, Aline Fernanda 15 September 2005 (has links)
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade do Rio Monjolinho (São Carlos - SP) através de análises físicas, químicas, biológicas, e ecotoxicológicas. Para tanto foram realizadas quatro coletas (julho/03, outubro/03, janeiro/04 e abril/04) nos quais foram amostrados água e sedimento em quatorze pontos localizados neste sistema. Estudos sobre a sobrevivência, crescimento e morfologia de brânquias também foram realizados em organismos expostos em concentrações crônicas de cobre, aldrin e heptacloro, ou seja, alguns poluentes detectados no sistema em estudo que estiveram acima da resolução CONAMA 357/05. Os resultados das análises físicas, químicas, biológicas e ecotoxicológicas demonstraram a degradação geral do sistema desde sua nascente, sendo possível observar variabilidade espacial e temporal da qualidade. A toxicidade das amostras de sedimento variou entre períodos de coleta, sendo que as maiores porcentagens foram encontradas em janeiro/04 para ambas as espécies testadas (D. rerio e P. reticulata). Ocorreu também, uma variabilidade nas respostas das diferentes espécies, sendo que P. reticulata apresentou-se mais sensível que D. rerio nos dois períodos em que foram realizados estudos ecotoxicológicos (julho/03 e janeiro/04). A análise histológica dos tecidos branquiais dos organismos expostos aos sedimentos confirmou a degradação deste sistema, revelando alterações de primeiro grau em sete dias de exposição na maioria dos pontos amostrados. Exceção foi encontrada na estação UFSCar, onde as brânquias dos organismos apresentaram lesões de segundo estágio. As substâncias de referência: cobre, aldrin e heptacloro demonstraram efeitos na sobrevivência, crescimento e na morfologia das brânquias dos organismos-teste, expostos em concentrações sub-letais (permitidas pelo CONAMA 357/05) durante sete dias de bioensaio. Estes resultados permitiram considerar que, em concentrações detectadas no rio Monjolinho, estas substâncias poderão representar riscos para a perpetuação de espécies de peixes, bem como, para o equilíbrio da comunidade aquática. / This work aimed evaluates the Monjolinho river quality through physical, chemical, biological and ecotoxicological analysis. Samples of water and sediment were collected in July/03; October/03; January/04 and April/04 in fourteen locations. Moreover studies about survival, growth and gills morphology were performed in organisms exposed to copper, aldrin and heptachlor in chronic concentrations (some pollutants detected in this system). The overall results showed that system is all degraded. The sediment toxicity presented seasonal variation, in the manner that the highest mortality percentage occurred in January/04. Besides, the specie P. reticulata was further sensitive than D. rerio in both seasons (july/03 and January/04). Histological analysis of test organisms exposed in sediment samples showed gills alterations after seven days. The reference substances: copper, aldrin and heptachlor presents negative effects on survival, growth and gills morphology en tests organisms exposed in sub-lethal concentrations after seven days. These results suggesting that these substances can represents risks for the maintenance of the fish species, as well as, for the aquatic communitys balance.

Influence of matrix effect of selected organochlorine pesticide residues in water from the Jukskei River catchmentRimayi, Chengetayi Cornelius 11 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Biotechnology) Vaal University of Technology / One of the major problems encountered in qualitative and quantitative determination of
residual pesticides by gas chromatography is the matrix effects. Matrix components
have a considerable effect on the way analysis is conducted and the quality of results
obtained, introducing problems such as inaccurate quantification, low analyte
delectability and reporting of false positive or even false negative results. It was aimed
to develop and validate a suitable method for counteracting the matrix effects so as to
improve the detection and quantification of selected organochlorine pesticide residues
from real water samples. The real water samples used were sampled from three points
along the Jukskei River catchment area in Gauteng, South Africa for a period of 7
months from January to July 201 0 so as to create a representative sample.
An automated solid phase extraction (SPE) method coupled to Gas ChromatographyMass
Spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the analysis of 20 selected organochlorine
pesticides was developed and validated for the purposes of studying the matrix effects.
The analytical method showed a significant degree of validity when tested against
parameters such as linearity, repeatability and sensitivity. Endosulphan beta, 4,4'
Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, and Heptachlor-epoxide had the broadest linear
calibration ranges of 1 ppm- 0.0156 ppm. Benzene hexachloride (BHC) delta and
Lindane had the lowest statistical limits of detection of 0.018 ppm. Statistical hypothesis
testing indicated that there was significant linearity in all selected organochlorine
calibration curves.
Four different reversed sorbent phases, including LC18, SC18- E and Strata-X (styrene
divinyl benzene) were tested for organochlorine retention efficiency. The LC-18 200 mg
cartridge proved to be the most robust and effective sorbent phase as it produced better
recoveries varying from 90-130% for most analytes. A breakthrough volume of 100 ml
for the LC-18 200 mg cartridge was determined using an optimum matrix load curve. It
was then concluded that the method developed was suitable for further research towards the influence of the matrix on selective determination of the selected
organochlorine pesticides.
Four different calibration methods, namely matrix-free external standard, matrixmatched
external standard, matrix-free internal standard and matrix-matched internal
standard were applied to test the efficiency of computing recoveries. All calibration
curves for the 20 organochlorine pesticides showed significant linearity > 0.99 when
plotted on both Chemstation and Excel. The calibration methods were tested on three
different matrices composed of a high sample matrix (synthetic matrix), a low sample
matrix (real sample matrix) and a no sample matrix (ultrapure water).
Statistical hypothesis testing led to the decision that there are significant differences
between the mean recoveries of the three water sample matrices and also that the
differences in the mean recoveries of the three sample matrices are independent of the
both the two calibration techniques (internal standard and external standard) and
calibration types (matrix-matched and matrix-free) applied. This led to the overall
conclusion that the matrix effects have an overwhelming influence on the selective
determination of the selected organochlorine pesticides.
