Previous issue date: 2011-02-14 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The water quality of many reservoirs in the world has been reduced due to percolation of contaminants to water, which can have natural or anthropogenic origin, increasing the level of genotoxic compounds in aquatic ecosystems. This fact has contributed to the reduction of environmental quality, and commitment the health of living beings that inhabit these ecosystems, including the human population. In this backdrop of reduced water quality, is the Lucrecia dam, which is a major surface water reservoirs by volume of semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte, and that has shown contamination by heavy metals, cyanobacteria toxic and the natural presence of Radon. The population that use this source has been showing high rates of cancer, popularly associated with the consumption of this water, with a prevalence about three times higher compared to the whole state of Rio Grande do Norte. Based on this, the present study aimed to evaluate the mutagenic potencial of surface water from the Lucrecia dam, using the Micronucleus Test in Tradescantia pallida (Trad-MN) and in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (CBMN) assay, as well as identify the concentrations of some heavy metals in this water. Water samples were collected on a dry season and a rainy season, in two distinct points. Moreover, in order to bring a completely view about the relationship of man-health-environment in this local, through the knowledge of knowing / acting environmental from residents of Lucrecia, and the use and perceptions they have about the dam of your city, a study of Environmental Perception was carried out with local residents. The results obtained for the both micronucleus test, showed significant results for the three points analyzed. The strongest mutagenic effect was observed in the dry season for both assays. Chemical analyses detected an increase of heavy metal levels in different points and season above the maximum allowed by legislation. Regarding the study of Environmental Perception with local residents, it was observed the knowledge of the environment that the residents have, as well as the strong ties and perceptions with the dam of the city. Thus, the combination of these two aspects (the genetic toxicity tests conducted in the dam together with analysis of environmental perception with the residents of Lucrecia) allowed to draw a more complete diagnosis on the local situation / A qualidade h?drica de diversos mananciais tem sido reduzida devido ? percola??o de contaminantes, seja de origem antr?pica ou natural, aumentando consideravelmente o n?vel de compostos genot?xicos nos ecossistemas aqu?ticos. Tal fato vem contribuindo para a redu??o da qualidade ambiental, bem como para o comprometimento da sa?de dos seres vivos que habitam esses ecossistemas, inclusive o homem. Diante deste cen?rio, est? o a?ude de Lucr?cia, que ? um dos principais reservat?rios h?dricos superficiais, da regi?o Semi-?rida do Estado do RN, e que tem demonstrado contamina??o por metais pesados, cianobact?rias t?xicas e a presen?a natural do Rad?nio. Aliado a esses problemas, a popula??o deste munic?pio vem apresentando elevada incid?ncia de c?ncer associada popularmente ao consumo dessa ?gua, sendo a preval?ncia cerca de tr?s vezes maior, quando comparada a todo o Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Visto isso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o potencial mutag?nico da ?gua superficial do a?ude de Lucr?cia por meio do teste de micron?cleo em Tradescantia pallida e em cultura de Linf?citos Humanos, assim como identificar as concentra??es de metais pesados presentes nesta ?gua. A coleta de ?gua foi realizada em dois pontos amostrais, no per?odo de seca e no per?odo chuvoso. Ademais, com o intuito de trazer um panorama mais completo da rela??o homem-sa?de-ambiente nesta localidade, atrav?s do conhecimento do saber/agir ambiental dos moradores de Lucr?cia, assim como o uso e percep??es estes t?m sobre o a?ude do seu munic?pio, foi realizado um estudo de Percep??o Ambiental com os moradores locais. Os resultados obtidos para o teste de Micron?cleo, para ambos os modelos utilizados, mostraram resultados significantes para os pontos coletados. O per?odo de seca apresentou uma m?dia maior de micron?cleos quando comparado ao per?odo chuvoso. Foi observado tamb?m concentra??es acima do permitido pela legisla??o brasileira de alguns metais pesados. Com rela??o ao estudo de Percep??o Ambiental com os moradores locais, a an?lise dos dados permitiu observar os conhecimentos sobre meio ambiente que os moradores possuem, assim como a forte liga??o e as concep??es que os mesmos possuem com o a?ude do munic?pio. Assim, a jun??o dessas duas vertentes (os testes de toxicidade gen?tica realizados no a?ude desta cidade aliado a an?lise de percep??o ambiental com os moradores de Lucr?cia) permitiu tra?ar um diagn?stico mais completo sobre a situa??o local
