Independent strategies for cultivation and metagenomics contribute to further microbiological knowledge, enabling studies with non-cultivable about the "native microbiological status and its potential role in bioremediation, for example, of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HPA's). Considering the biome mangrove interface fragile and critical bordering the ocean, this study characterizes the native microbiota mangrove potential biodegradability of HPA's using a biomarker for molecular detection and assessment of bacterial diversity by PCR in areas under the influence of oil companies in the Basin Petroleum Geology Potiguar (BPP). We chose PcaF, a metabolic enzyme, to be the molecular biomarker in a PCR-DGGE detection of prokaryotes that degrade HPA s. The PCR-DGGE fingerprints obtained from Paracuru-CE, Fortim-CE and Areia Branca-RN samples revealed the occurrence of fluctuations of microbial communities according to the sampling periods and in response to the impact of oil. In the analysis of microbial communities interference of the oil industry, in Areia Branca-RN and Paracuru-CE was observed that oil is a determinant of microbial diversity. Fortim-CE probably has no direct influence with the oil activity. In order to obtain data for better understanding the transport and biodegradation of HPA's, there were conducted in silico studies with modeling and simulation from obtaining 3-D models of proteins involved in the degradation of phenanthrene in the transport of HPA's and also getting the 3-D model of the enzyme PcaF used as molecular marker in this study. Were realized docking studies with substrates and products to a better understanding about the transport mechanism and catalysis of HPA s / O conhecimento sobre os procariotos nativos em locais de risco favorece a aplica??o de biotecnologias para biorremedia??o.

Contudo a queima da castanha ainda ? realizada de forma artesanal, sobretudo no semi?rido brasileiro. Diante disto, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma caracteriza??o f?sico-qu?mica do material particulado (MP) emitido pela queima artesanal da castanha de caju, assim como determinar o risco ocupacional e mecanismos moleculares associados. As caracter?sticas mais evidentes do MP foram a preval?ncia de part?culas finas, morfologias t?picas da queima de biomassa, como as "tar ball" e os elementos K, Cl, S, Ca e Fe. Al?m disso, an?lises de modelagem atmosf?rica sugerem que essas part?culas podem atingir regi?es distantes da fonte de emiss?o. Os hidrocarbonetos polic?clicos arom?ticos (HPAs) com potencial carcinog?nico, tais como: benzo(a)pireno, dibenzo(a,h)antraceno, benzo(a)antraceno, benzo(b)fluoranteno, criseno, benzo(k)fluoranteno, indeno(1,2,3,-c,d)pireno e benzo(j)fluoranteno foram os mais abundantes nas duas campanhas de monitoramento do ar. Dentre os oxi-HPAs, a benzantrona (7H-benzo(d,e)antraceno-7-ona) teve a maior concentra??o e a avalia??o do risco de c?ncer de pulm?o indicou um aumento de 12 a 37 casos de c?ncer a cada 10.000 pessoas expostas. A an?lise qu?mica da casca torrada da castanha identificou os HPAs: fenantreno, benzo(g,h,i)perileno, pireno e benzo(a)pireno, al?m do al?rgeno 3-pentadecilfenol, an?logo do urushiol, como prevalecentes. A exposi??o ocupacional aos HPAs foi confirmada pelo aumento dos n?veis urin?rios de 1-hidroxipireno, assim como a genotoxicidade foi evidenciada pelo aumento de micron?cleos e broto nuclear em c?lulas da mucosa oral, nos trabalhadores expostos. Outros biomarcadores de efeito, tais como cari?lise, cariorr?xis, picnose, e c?lulas binucleadas tamb?m tiveram a sua frequ?ncia aumentada quando comparado com um grupo controle n?o exposto. A investiga??o dos mecanismos moleculares associados ao extrato org?nico do MP mostrou citotoxicidade em c?lulas do pulm?o humano (A549) em concentra??es ? 4 nM BaPeq. Utilizando doses n?o citot?xicas o extrato foi capaz de ativar prote?nas envolvidas na via de resposta ao dano no DNA (Chk1 e p53). Al?m disso, foi verificado a contribui??o espec?fica dos quatro HPAs mais representativos na amostra de queima da castanha de caju e o benzo(a)pireno foi o HPA mais eficiente na ativa??o de Chk1 e p53. Por fim, o extrato org?nico foi capaz de aumentar de forma persistente a express?o de mRNAs envolvidos na metaboliza??o dos HPAs (CYP1A1 e CYP1B1), bem como resposta inflamat?ria (IL-8 e TNF-?) e parada no ciclo celular (CDKN1A) para reparo no DNA (DDB2). As altas concentra??es de MP e os seus efeitos biol?gicos associados alertam para os graves efeitos nocivos da queima artesanal da castanha de caju e medidas urgentes devem ser tomadas para o desenvolvimento sustent?vel da atividade. / Brazil is among the largest cashew nut producers of the world. However, the roasting process is still carried out artisanally, especially in the Brazilian semiarid region. In face of this occupational problem, the aim of this study was to perform a physical-chemical characterization of the particulate matter (PM) emitted by the roasting of cashew nuts, as well as to determine the occupational risk and molecular mechanisms associated. The most evident PM characteristics were the prevalence of fine particles, typical biomass burning morphologies such as tar ball and the presence of the elements K, Cl, S, Ca and Fe. In addition, atmospheric modeling analyses suggest that these particles can reach neighboring regions of the emission source. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with carcinogenic potential, such as benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene and benzo[j]fluoranthene were the most abundant PAHs found in the two air monitoring campaigns. Among the identified oxy-PAH the benzanthrone (7H-benz[d,e]anthracen-7-one) had the highest concentration and the evaluation of lifetime cancer risk showed an increase of 12 to 37 cases of cancer for every 10,000 exposed people. Chemical analysis of roasted cashew nuts identified the PAHs: phenanthrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene, besides the 3-pentadecilfenol allergen (urushiol analogue) as prevalent. Occupational exposure to PAHs was confirmed by the increase of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene levels and genotoxic effects were evidenced by the increase on micronuclei and nuclear bud frequency in exfoliated buccal mucosa cells among the exposed workers. Other biomarkers of effects such as karyorrhexis, pyknotic, karyolytic, condensed chromatin and binucleated cells also have their frequencies increased when compared to an unexposed control group. The investigation of the molecular mechanisms associated with the PM organic extract showed cytotoxicity in human lung cell lines (A549) at concentrations ? 4 nM BaPeq. Using non-cytotoxic doses the extract was able to activate proteins involved in the DNA damage response pathway (Chk1 and p53). Moreover, the specific contribution of the four most representative PAHs in the cashew nut roasting sample showed that benzo[a]pyrene was the most efficient to activate Chk1 and p53. Finally, the organic extract was able to increase persistently the mRNA expression involved in the PAHs metabolism (CYP1A1 and CYP1B1), inflammatory response (IL-8 and TNF-?) and cell cycle arrest (CDKN1A) for DNA repair (DDB2). The high PM concentrations and its biological effects associated warn of the serious harmful effects of artisanal cashew nut roasting and urgent actions should be taken to the sustainable development of this activity.

Considering the pharmacological importance of the species of this family, the development of forms of propagation and in vitro culture can contribute to the inclusion of these species in sustainable production systems and the conservation of the same. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the in vitro propagation of the species H. ramosa, through direct organogenesis and callus formation, and the biochemical characterization of the obtained calluses, thus allowing the establishment of strategies for their conservation and sustainable use. To this, H. ramosa seeds were disinfected and established in medium MS / 2 culture. In the multiplication phase was tested the influence of cytokinins BAP, CIN and TDZ on different explants. The obtained shoots were individualized and transferred to MS / 2 medium containing different concentrations of auxin IBA and activated carbon for rooting them. Regenerated and rooted in vitro microplants were subjected to pre-acclimatization in different cultivation container closure and then were transferred to ex vitro conditions in commercial substrate Plantmax? being quantified plant survival rate at 30 days after transfer. For callus induction, we used explants and different concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP, determining the growth curve from the fresh weight of callus until the 28th day of cultivation, at intervals of seven days. Concurrent with obtaining the growth curve it is quantified in calluses obtained the total soluble sugar content, reducing sugar and crude protein. The in vitro propagation of H. ramosa is possible using the nodal segment as a source of explants in MS medium supplemented with BAP. In vitro rooting occurs, even in free auxin. The species showed survival of 100%, regardless of the day of pre-acclimatization phase. For callus induction the best explant is the nodal segment, and the combination of 2.4-D and BAP favor the formation of the same. The callus growth curve showed quadratic behavior with two different phases and biochemical analysis showed the maximum level of total soluble sugars, reducing sugars and crude protein at 14 ?, 21 ? and 14 ? days, respectively. / Hyptis ramosa Pohl ex Benth (Lamiaceae) ? uma esp?cie nativa e end?mica do semi?rido nordestino, sendo sua constitui??o fitoqu?mica desconhecida at? o momento.

Even with all known diversity and potential, few species are the target of agronomic studies. Considering the propagation as the first step in the domestication of a species and the influence of external factors on essential oil production, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of cutting type and auxin concentrations in the vegetative propagation of the species L. insignis, L. lasiocalycina and L. thymoides, as well as different types of fertilization and harvest season in production, and content and chemical composition of the essential oil. In propagation tests two types of cuttings were used (apical and middle) and five IBA concentrations (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg L-1). In cultivation three forms of fertilization were tested (control, manure and manure + NPK 10:10:10) and two harvest seasons (210 and 360 days after planting). The essential oils are extracted from dry leaves by the hydrodistillation method by Clevenger apparatus, and chemical composition determined by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC / FID) coupled to mass spectrometer (GC / MS). It was concluded that apical cuttings are the most suitable for the propagation of L. insignis and both apical and middle cuttings for L. thymoides and L. lasiocalycina; treatment with IBA is not necessary in the propagation by cuttings of these species; chemical fertilizers (NPK) associated with cattle manure was the best treatment in growth and biomass production of the species L. lasiocalycina and L. thymoides, while for L. insignis to the control treatment was the best; pruning, followed by the second growing season (regrowth) is recommended in the cultivation of the studied species, aiming at the production of essential oil; ?-myrcene, limonene and E-ocimenone are the major components of L. insignis; ?-myrcene and E-ocimenone the major components of L. lasiocalycina and E-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide the major components of L. thymoides; fertilization and harvest season promote quantitative variations in the chemical composition of essential oils; the species L. insignis and L. thymoides are the most promising for essential oil production in the conditions of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. / O g?nero Lippia (Verbenaceae) ? caracterizado por apresentar esp?cies com propriedades medicinais e arom?ticas, sendo seu potencial econ?mico voltado para a produ??o de ?leos essenciais com importantes atividades biol?gicas e farmacol?gicas.

The compositions of Steve Reich and György Ligeti both contain periodic rhythmic structures. Although periods are not usually easily perceived, the listener may perceive their combinations in a hierarchy of rhythmic structures. This document is an attempt to develop an analytical method that can account for this hierarchy in periodic music. I begin with an overview of the features of Reich's and Ligeti's music that contribute to the property of periodicity. I follow with a discussion of the music and writings of Olivier Messiaen as a precedent for the periodic structures in the music of Reich and Ligeti. I continue by consulting the writings of the Israeli musicologist Simha Arom and describing the usefulness of his ideas and terminology in the development of my method. I explain the working process and terminology of the analytical method, and then I apply it to Reich's Six Pianos and Ligeti's Désordre.

Bakgrund: Över 20 mutagena ämnen har detekterats i tillagade livsmedel. Till dessa räknas heterocykliska aminer. Studier har visat att dessa aminer kan orsaka mutationer och därmed öka risken för att utveckla cancer. Heterocykliska aminer bildas under tillagning av kött i höga temperaturer genom Maillardreaktionen. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att se om marinering med öl, vin eller örtkryddor kan minska bildningen av heterocykliska aminer vid tillagning av kött. Metod: Denna studie är en litteraturstudie med ett urval av artiklar från databaserna PubMed och Web of Science. Totalt inkluderades 6 artiklar varav 3 artiklar studerade marinering med öl/vin och 3 studerade marinering med örtkryddor och örtextrakt. Resultat: Samtliga studier som undersöktes visade att marinering har en reducerande effekt på mängden heterocykliska aminer som bildas vid tillagning. Den mest troliga hypotesen om mekanismen är att effekten beror på den antioxidativa förmågan hos marinaderna. Ett exempel är en marinad med kombinationen gurkmeja och citrongräs som reducerade koncentrationen heterocykliska aminer med 94,8%. Slutsats: Marinering med öl, vin eller örtkryddor visades effektivt reducera mängden heterocykliska aminer. Stora reducerande effekter detekterades i marinader med gurkmeja, citrongräs, ingefära och mörk lager. Mer forskning behövs för att fastställa om reduktionen är kopplad till den antioxidativa effekten hos marinaderna / Background: Over 20 different mutagenic substances has been detected in cooked food. These include heterocyclic amines. Studies have shown that these amines can create mutations and increase the risk of developing cancer. Heterocyclic amines are formed in meat during the Maillard reaction which occours at high temperature cooking. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if the effect of marinating with beer, wine and herbs/spices can reduce the formation of heterocyclic amines found in cooked meat. Method: This study is a literature study with a selection of articles from databases PubMed and Web of Science. Six articles were included in this study. 3 articles involved marinade with beer/wine and 3 articles involved marinade with herbs/spices and extract. Results: All studies examined showed that marinating has a reducing effect on the concentration of heterocyclic amines formed during cooking. The most credible hypothesis of the mechanism is that the effect depends on the antioxidativ capacity of the marinades. For example one marinade with the combination of turmeric and lemon grass reduced the concentration of heterocyclic amines by 94,8%. Conclusion: Marinades containing beer, wine or herbs/spices was shown to effectively reduce the amount of heterocyclic amines. Great reducing effects were found using turmeric, lemon grass, ginger and black beer. More scientific research is needed to determine if the reduction is linked to the antioxidant effect in marinades.

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 / Os estu?rios s?o ambientes prop?cios ao aporte de poluentes qu?micos de diversas naturezas e origens, incluindo Hidrocarbonetos Polic?clicos Arom?ticos (HPA). Os HPA antr?picos s?o de duas fontes poss?veis: pirol?tica (com quatro ou mais an?is arom?ticos e baixo grau de alquila??o) e petrog?nica (com dois e tr?s an?is arom?ticos e alto grau de alquila??o). O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os n?veis, distribui??o e poss?veis fontes de Hidrocarbonetos Polic?clicos Arom?ticos no estu?rio do rio Potengi, Natal-RN. Amostras de sedimentos de fundo foram coletadas nos 12 km finais do estu?rio at? a sua foz, onde a urbaniza??o da Grande Natal ? mais concentrada. A amostragem foi realizada em 12 se??es transversais, com tr?s esta??es em cada uma, totalizando 36 amostras, identificadas de T1 a T36. Os HPA alquilados e n?o alquilados foram analisados por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a um detector seletivo de massas (CG/EM). Foram detectados HPA em todas as 36 esta??es, com concentra??o total em cada uma variando de 174 a 109407 ng g-1. Esses valores s?o compar?veis aos de v?rias regi?es estuarinas mundiais com grande influ?ncia antr?pica, o que sugere o registro de contamina??es difusas instaladas no estu?rio. O perfil de HPA foi similar para a maioria das esta??es. Em 32 das 36 esta??es predominaram HPA de baixo peso molecular (com 2 e 3 an?is: naftaleno, fenantreno e seus hom?logos alquilados), que variaram de 54% a 100% em rela??o ao total de HPA, indicando que vazamentos, derramamentos e queima de combust?veis s?o a fonte dominante de polui??o por HPA no estu?rio. O n?vel de contamina??o por HPA na maioria das esta??es sugere que h? risco potencial de ocasionais efeitos biol?gicos adversos serem observados, por?m em algumas esta??es se confirmam que impactos adversos sobre a biota ocorrem com freq??ncia. As raz?es diagn?sticas permitiram diferenciar as fontes de HPA nos sedimentos do estu?rio, que foram divididos em tr?s grupos: sedimentos com padr?es de introdu??o de hidrocarbonetos petrog?nicos, pirol?ticos e de mistura de fontes. A concentra??o urbana da Grande Natal e as atividades industriais diversas a ela associadas podem ser responsabilizadas como fontes potenciais dos HPA nos sedimentos de fundo do estu?rio estudado. Os dados apresentados evidenciam a necessidade de se controlar as causas da polui??o existente no estu?rio

No. of bitstreams: 1 MariaFGM.pdf: 2684798 bytes, checksum: 4d672e17bab00bdd5d88eb70b9c57edf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-03-30 / Petr?leo Brasileiro SA - PETROBRAS / Many studies on environmental ecosystems quality related to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have been carried out routinely due to their ubiquotus presence worldwide and to their potential toxicity after its biotransformation. PAH may be introduced into the environmet by natural and anthropogenic processes from direct runoff and discharges and indirect atmospheric deposition. Sources of naturally occurring PAHs include natural fires, natural oil seepage and recent biological or diagenetic processes. Anthropogenic sources of PAHs, acute or chronic, are combustion of organic matter (petroleum, coal, wood), waste and releases/spills of petroleum and derivatives (river runoff, sewage outfalls, maritime transport, pipelines). Besides the co-existence of multiples sources of PAH in the environmental samples, these compounds are subject to many processes that lead to geochemical fates (physical-chemical transformation, biodegradation and photo-oxidation), which leads to an alteration of their composition. All these facts make the identification of the hydrocarbons sources, if petrogenic, pyrolytic or natural, a challenge. One of the objectives of this study is to establish tools to identify the origin of hydrocarbons in environmental samples. PAH diagnostic ratios and PAH principal component analysis were tested on a critical area: Guanabara Bay sediments. Guanabara Bay is located in a complex urban area of Rio de Janeiro with a high anthropogenic influence, being an endpoint of chronic pollution from the Greater Rio and it was the scenario of an acute event of oil release in January 2000. It were quantified 38 compounds, parental and alkylated PAH, in 21 sediment samples collected in two surveys: 2000 and 2003. The PAH levels varied from 400 to 58439 ng g-1. Both tested techniques for origin identification of hydrocarbons have shown their applicability, being able to discriminate the PAH sources for the majority of the samples analysed. The bay sediments were separated into two big clusters: sediments with a clear pattern of petrogenic introduction of hydrocarbons (from intertidal area) and sediments with combustion characteristics (from subtidal region). Only a minority of the samples could not display a clear contribution of petrogenic or pyrolytic input. The diagnostic ratios that have exhibited high ability to distinguish combustion- and petroleum-derived PAH inputs for Guanabara Bay sediments were Phenanthrene+Anthracene/(Phenanthrene+Anthracene+C1Phenanthrene); Fluorantene/(Fluorantene+Pyrene); Σ (other 3-6 ring PAHs)/ Σ (5 alkylated PAH series). The PCA results prooved to be a useful tool for PAH source identification in the environment, corroborating the diagnostic indexes. In relation to the temporal evaluation carried out in this study, it was not verified significant changes on the class of predominant source of the samples. This result indicates that the hydrocarbons present in the Guanabara Bay sediments are mainly related to the long-term anthropogenic input and not directly related to acute events such as the oil spill of January 2000. This findings were similar to various international estuarine sites. Finally, this work had a complementary objective of evaluating the level of hydrocarbons exposure of the aquatic organisms of Guanabara Bay. It was a preliminary study in which a quantification of 12 individual biliar metabolites of PAH was performed in four demersal fish representing three different families. The analysed metabolites were 1-hydroxynaphtalene, 2-hidroxinaphtalene, 1hydroxyphenanthrene, 9-hydroxyphenanthrene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1hydroxypyrene, 3-hidroxibiphenil, 3- hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxychrysene, 9hydroxyfluorene, 4-hydroxyphenanthrene, 3-hydroxybenz(a)pyrene. The metabolites concentrations were found to be high, ranging from 13 to 177 ?g g-1, however they were similar to worldwide regions under high anthropogenic input. Besides the metabolites established by the used protocol, it was possible to verified high concentrations of three other compounds not yet reported in the literature. They were related to pyrolytic PAH contribution to Guanabara Bay aquatic biota: 1-hydroxypyrine and 3-hydroxybenz(a)pyrine isomers / In?meros estudos da qualidade de ecossistemas naturais em rela??o a contamina??o de hidrocarbonetos polic?ciclos arom?ticos (HPA) t?m sido desenvolvidos continuadamente face a sua presen?a ub?quoa em todo o planeta e ao seu potencial t?xico ap?s a biotransforma??o. A introdu??o dos HPA no meio ambiente pode ocorrer atrav?s de processos naturais e antropog?nicos, atrav?s de despejos e/ou drenagens e deposi??o atmosf?rica indireta. Fontes naturais de HPA incluem queimadas naturais, exsuda??es de ?leo e processos biog?nicos recentes. Fontes antropog?nicas de HPA, advindas de eventos cr?nicos ou agudos, s?o a combust?o incompleta de ?leo combust?vel automotivo e industrial, a queima intencional de madeira e planta??es, os despejos dom?sticos e industriais, as drenagens pluviais urbanas, os efluentes da ind?stria petrol?fera, os derrames acidentais de ?leo e derivados. Al?m da coexist?ncia de m?ltiplas fontes destes hidrocarbonetos nas amostras ambientais, os HPA est?o sujeitos a v?rios processos geoqu?micos que conduzem ? altera??o de sua composi??o qu?mica ao longo do tempo, tornando a identifica??o das fontes contaminantes, se petrog?nica, pirol?tica ou natural, um verdadeiro desafio. Desta forma, um dos objetivos deste estudo foi estabelecer ferramentas que possibilitem a determina??o das fontes de hidrocarbonetos no meio ambiente. Foram utilizadas raz?es diagn?sticas e an?lise de componentes principais de HPA, tendo sido quantificados 38 compostos, incluindo os HPA parentais e alquilados, em 21 amostras de sedimento da Ba?a de Guanabara, coletadas nos anos de 2000 e 2003. A Ba?a de Guanabara ? um ecossistema estuarino com elevada influ?ncia antropog?nica, que recebe polui??o cr?nica da regi?o metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro e que foi cen?rio de um derrame de ?leo em janeiro de 2000. As concentra??es de HPA nos sedimentos estudados apresentaram-se na faixa de 400 a 58439 ng g-1. Ambas as t?cnicas de diferencia??o de fontes de HPA testadas, raz?es diagn?sticas e an?lise de componentes principais, demonstraram sua aplicabilidade, permitindo a diferencia??o das fontes de HPA para a maioria dos sedimentos da ba?a, que foram divididos em dois grandes grupos: sedimentos com padr?es de introdu??o de hidrocarbonetos predominantemente petrog?nicos e sedimentos com caracter?sticas de combust?o. Apenas uma minoria de amostras n?o apresentou com nitidez a natureza de sua contamina??o. As raz?es que apresentaram maior capacidade em diferenciar as fontes de HPA foram Fluoranteno / (Fluoranteno + Pireno), (Fenantreno + Antraceno) / (Fenantreno + Antraceno + C1Fenantreno) e o ?ndice pirol?tico, Σ (HPA parentais de 3-6 an?is) /Σ (5 s?ries de HPA alquilados). Na avalia??o temporal realizada neste estudo n?o foram verificadas varia??es significativas na natureza das fontes contaminantes predominantes na ba?a, revelando que os hidrocarbonetos presentes est?o correlacionados principalmente com os aportes cr?nicos e n?o diretamente com eventos agudos como o derrame de ?leo ocorrido em janeiro de 2000. Este estudo teve como segundo objetivo a avalia??o preliminar do n?vel de exposi??o a que os organismos aqu?ticos da Ba?a de Guanabara est?o submetidos, atrav?s da quantifica??o de 12 metab?litos individuais de HPA presentes em bile de peixe de quatro esp?cies demersais representativas de tr?s fam?lias diferentes. Os metab?litos analisados foram 1-hidroxinaftaleno, 1-hidroxifenantreno, 9hidroxifenantreno, 2-hidroxinaftaleno, 2-hidroxifenantreno, 1-hidroxipireno, 3hidroxibifenila, 3-hidroxifenantreno, 1-hidroxicriseno, 9-hidroxifluoreno, 4hidroxifenantreno, 3-hidroxibenzo(a)pireno. As concentra??es encontradas nas esp?cies de peixes analisadas mostraram-se elevadas, na faixa de 13 a 177 ?g g1, por?m similares ?s encontradas em algumas regi?es de grande influ?ncia antropog?nica, tanto no Brasil quanto no exterior. Al?m dos metab?litos estabelecidos pela metodologia utilizada, foi poss?vel quantificar tr?s compostos, ainda n?o reportados na literatura, em concentra??es relevantes. Estes metab?litos, relacionados a contribui??o pirol?tica de HPA aos organismos aqu?ticos da Ba?a de Guanabara, s?o is?meros de 1-hidroxipireno e de 3-hidroxibenzo(a)pireno
