Previous issue date: 2011-05-23 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / The occurrence of human cancer in the municipality of Lucr?cia (RN, Brazil) has shown high frequencies (INCA, 2007). Tests of micronucleus (MN) and nuclear abnormalities (NA) were performed to assess the genotoxic potential of water from the Lucr?cia dam, which is located in a semi-arid region under the influence of crop irrigation and irregular rainfall. Water samples were collected in this source for analyzing the concentration of cyanobacteria, metals and radioactivity. Erythrocytes of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were collected in dam and cells of human oral mucosa in the urban area of this municipality for the bioassays of MN and NA. In fish were also analyzed concentrations of metals in samples of liver and gills. The genotoxicity tests with biological samples of fish and humans have shown significant increases in the frequencies of MN and NA (p ≤ 0.05) and are indicative of increased DNA damage in relation to the control groups. In conclusion, the results obtained from water samples and biological municipality of Lucr?cia indicates that the presence of chemical and microbiological pollutants, and increase of genotoxic in human of this municipality. We suggest the implementation of advanced water treatment, to prevent further degradation of the aquatic environment and decrease in the life quality. This research of environmental quality assessment was performed in order to contemplate a multi and interdisciplinary character of this water resource and that can induce genotoxic damage in the organisms in this study region / A ocorr?ncia de c?ncer humano na regi?o do munic?pio de Lucr?cia (RN, Brasil) tem mostrado freq??ncias elevadas (INCA, 2007). Foram aplicados testes de micron?cleos (MN) e altera??es nucleares (NA) para avaliar o potencial genot?xico das ?guas do a?ude de Lucr?cia, que est? localizado numa regi?o semi-?rida sob influ?ncia de irriga??o agr?cola e precipita??o irregular. Foram coletadas amostras de ?gua nesse manancial para an?lise da concentra??o de cianobact?rias, metais e radioatividade. Foram coletados eritr?citos de til?pia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) no manancial e c?lulas de mucosa oral humana na ?rea urbana desse munic?pio para os bioensaios de MN e NA. Nos peixes tamb?m foram analisadas as concentra??es de metais em amostras de br?nquias e f?gado. Os testes de genotoxicidade com amostras biol?gicas de peixes e humanos mostraram aumentos significantivos nas freq??ncias de MN e NA (p ≤ 0,05) e s?o indicativos de aumento nos danos ao DNA em rela??o aos grupos controles. Concluindo, os resultados obtidos com as amostras de ?gua e biol?gicas do a?ude de Lucr?cia indicam a presen?a de poluentes qu?micos e microbiol?gicos, e tamb?m aumento do potencial genot?xico na popula??o humana desse munic?pio. Sugerimos a execu??o de tratamento h?drico avan?ado, para prevenir futura degrada??o desse ambiente aqu?tico e redu??o da qualidade de vida. Esta pesquisa de avalia??o da qualidade ambiental foi executada de forma a contemplar uma abordagem multi e interdisciplinar da caracter?stica deste recurso h?drico e os danos genot?xicos que possam induzir nos organismos desta regi?o em estudo
