When dealing with the release of potentially toxic elements (EPTs) into the environment, often irreversible damage is caused to the integrity of the environment and human health. Phytoremediation proves to be an innovative and effective alternative for the mitigation of EPT contamination and interest in it is increasing as it is an ecologically viable and low-cost solution. Considered the…
The rupture of the SAMARCO Fundão dam occurred in November 2015, in Mariana, Minas Gerais, releasing approximately 50 million m³ of iron ore (Fe) tailings along the Doce river at its mouth, located in Regência, Linhares district, Espírito Santo. The tailings are mainly composed of Fe oxides that may have potentially toxic elements (PTEs) occluded or retained on the surface. Fe oxides are …
Human beings can be exposed to potentially toxic elements (PTE) daily, especially those living in large urban center with heavy traffic and industrial activities, such as steel, metallurgy, and mining. Risk assessment methods can predict or indicate the exposure levels to contamination of an area. Beside the PTE pseudo-total contents in the soil extracted by acid solutions, the reactive, …

The chemical composition of the soil of the Rio Doce estuary was affected after the input of Fe-rich tailing from the Fundão dam burst in 2015. Since then, studies have been carried out on the role of Fe oxyhydroxides on the dynamics and bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTE) under a redox-active environment. The solid phase distribution of Fe and PTE has been determined usin…

Heavy metals or potentially toxic elements (PTE) are found in soils in low concentrations, but the input of these elements through anthropic sources can increase the concentrations of heavy metals in soils and cause several negative effects on human health. The oral and the respiratory bioaccessible pools of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn will be investigated in soil samples from urban and mining …
The concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the environment is a great concern. Because of human activity, their concentration may reach high levels, thus causing accumulation on the environment and consequently their input on food chain. Extractors such as 0.43 M HNO3 and 0.01 M CaCl2 are used to extract contents of PTEs linked to reactive and available pools in soil, and t…
