Título: | Chromium contamination in sediment, vegetation and fish caused by tanneries in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil |
Autor(es): | Jordão, C.P. Pereira, J.L. Jham, G.N. |
Abstract: | In order to evaluate the chromium contamination from tannery discharges into rivers in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, samples of fluvial sediment, vegetation and fish were collected and submitted to chemical analysis. The chromium content in the samples was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Metal inputs were related to effluent discharges into the rivers. High concentrations of chromium were found in samples when compared with controls. Sediment investigations indicated strong enrichment and high geoaccumulation indices, while chromium concentrations in the analyzed vegetation were higher than those normally found in these materials. Chromium levels in fish exceeded 35 times the Brazilian recommendation value for human intake. |
