ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The mangrove is a coastal ecosystem that is present in different parts of the world. It provides various ecosystem services from food supply to the influence of climate change. Due to the development of society, this ecosystem has been subjected to significant impacts from anthropogenic activities. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the environmental impacts caused in mangrove areas that have undergone modifications as a result of anthropic activities (agricultural cultivation, deforestation, civil construction) compared with those of conserved mangrove areas. This research took place through the analysis of the temporal sequence of aerial images (Google Earth) and soil quality analysis through field collections to evaluate the chemical and biological indicators in the different land use systems. As these are permanent changes that affect the type of soil and its coverage, significant differences were obtained between the chemical and biological characteristics of the four environments, with different usage systems. The mangrove has been negatively impacted by inadequate management and land occupation. Continuity of anthropic intervention in the mangrove will promote the disappearance of this ecosystem in the long term. Among the chemical and biological attributes used for the analyses that were performed, aluminum and edaphic organisms were the ones that allowed the greatest contribution of distinction from the degree of disturbance in areas of agricultural cultivation, deforestation and civil construction/mangrove transition.


RESUMO: O manguezal é um ecossistema costeiro, presente em diversas partes do mundo, provedor de diversos serviços ecossistêmicos desde a provisão de alimentos a influência das mudanças climáticas. Devido ao desenvolvimento da sociedade, este ecossistema tem sido submetido a significativos impactos proveniente das atividades antropogênicas. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os impactos ambientais ocasionados em áreas de mangue que sofreram modificações resultantes de atividades antrópicas (cultivo agrícola, desmatamento, construção civil) comparando com área de mangue conservado. Esta pesquisa se deu através da análise da sequência temporal de imagens aéreas (Google Earth), e análise da qualidade do solo mediante coletas em campo para avaliação dos indicadores químicos e biológicos nos diferentes sistemas de uso do solo. Por se tratarem de alterações permanentes e que afetaram o tipo do solo e a cobertura do mesmo, foram obtidas diferenças significativas entre as características químicas e biológicas dos quatro ambientes, com os diferentes sistemas de uso. O manguezal tem sofrido impactos negativos pelo manejo inadequado e ocupação do solo. A continuidade da intervenção antrópica no mangue dará prosseguimento ao desaparecimento deste ecossistema a longo prazo. Dentre os atributos químicos e biológicos utilizados para as análises realizadas, o alumínio e os organismos edáficos foram os que permitiram maior contribuição para descriminação do grau de perturbação das áreas de cultivo agrícola, desmatada e transição construção civil/manguezal.

ABSTRACT

The mangrove forest is an important transitional ecosystem consisted of terrestrial and marine environment located in tropical and subtropical regions with average temperatures above 20 °C. In Alagoas, the mangrove forests are found on the entire coastline from Maragogi to Piaçabuçu. In the last 20 years, due to the pollution of water resources, studies of coastal aquatic ecosystems have been developed. The objective of this study was to analyze the physicochemical properties and determine the levels of heavy metals in mangrove sediments of the Mundaú-Manguaba estuary lagoon complex (MMELC) and Meirim River in Alagoas. Zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and chromium were chosen due to their relationship with sewer, agricultural, and industrial wastes. 22 soil samples were collected in the MMELC and in the Meirim River. The samples were submitted to soil routine analyses of Embrapa. The heavy metals were extracted by the Mehlich-1 method and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean concentrations of these metals in thesediment samples followed the order Mn > Zn >Pb > Cr> Cu >Cd in MMELC and Zn > Mn >Pb > Cr> Cu >Cd in Meirim River. All proposed heavy metals were found in sediments, however, the cadmium levels were above the normal levels proposed by Environment National Council (CONAMA) and Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. The study shows that the analysis of sediment can contribute to environmental monitoring actions and development of public policies aimed to controlling the sustainable use of natural resources of the studied areas.


O manguezal é um importante ecossistema de transição entre o ambiente marinho e terrestre, localizado em regiões tropicais e subtropicais com temperaturas médias acima de 20°C. Em Alagoas podemos encontrar florestas de mangue em praticamente todo o litoral desde Maragogi até Piaçabuçu. Nosúltimos 20 anos, a poluição dos recursos hídricos tem levado ao estudo dos ecossistemas aquáticos costeiros, que são importantes para preservação e equilíbrio da vida. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as propriedades físico-químicas e determinar os teores ambientalmente disponíveis de metais nos sedimentos do mangue existente na foz CELMM (e do rio Meirim em Alagoas. Foram escolhidos os metais zinco, cobre, chumbo, cádmio e crômio por estarem ligados aos despejos de esgotos, projetos agropecuários, e fontes industriais. Foram coletadas 22 amostras de solo nos estuários do CELMM e do rio Meirim. As amostras foram submetidas as análises de rotina para solos da Embrapa. As concentrações médias desses metais nas amostras de sedimento seguiram a ordem Mn > Zn >Pb > Cr> Cu >Cd in CELMM e Zn > Mn >Pb > Cr> Cu >Cd no Rio Meirim. Os metais foram extraídos pelo método Mehlich-1 e analisados por meio de espectrometria de absorção atômica. Foram encontrados nos sedimentos todos os metais propostos na pesquisa com destaque para os teores de cádmio detectados em valores absolutos acima de valores considerados normais pelo Conselho Nacional doMeio Ambiente e pelo Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment em alguns pontos do estuário do rio Meirim. O estudo mostra que a análise dos sedimentos pode, portanto, contribuir para ações de monitoramento ambiental, subsidiando a implantação e desenvolvimento de políticas públicas que visem controlar o usoracional e sustentável dos recursos naturais das áreas do estudas.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Mangroves are tropical and subtropical flooded forests that generally develop in estuarine areas over unstable sediments protected from the action of waves in the intertidal zone with an environment characterized by a great diversity of fauna and flora. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the levels of heavy metals that are absorbed by mangrove oysters, in estuarine systems in the Alagoas coast by determining the concentrations of Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd and Cr. Two areas, which consisted of both a collection during the rainy season and the dry season, were selected for sampling of mangrove oysters. In each collection, seven samples were collected, at seven different points, where each sample contained four oysters. In the laboratory the oysters were dried at 105°C for 72 hours and then macerated. It was then digested with 10 ml of a solution comprising a combination of 4:1 nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, initially in 1h at 40°C, followed by 3 hours at 140°C. In General, the medians followed the order Zn > Fe > Mn > Cu > Cr > Cd in MMELC and Zn > Cu > Fe > Mn > Cr > Cd in Meirim River. It is concluded that the Crassostrea rhizophorae oysters from the studied environments presented concentrations of all the metals proposed in the research and demonstrates its accumulating and bioindicator character.

ABSTRACT

A infecção do papilomavírus humano (HPV) é uma das mais freqüentes doenças sexualmente transmissíveis em todo o mundo. A relação entre o HPV genital e oral permanece incerta, assim como o seu papel na carcinogênese oral. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a presença do DNA do HPV na mucosa oral e genital de mulheres com infecção genital por HPV, pela técnica de reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR). FORMA DE ESTUDO: Coorte transversal. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo piloto, prospectivo, com 30 mulheres, idade de 14 a 51 anos, portadoras de infecção genital por HPV confirmada pelo exame de histopatológico. Todas as pacientes foram submetidas a exame e coleta por raspagem da cavidade oral e genital para pesquisa do DNA do HPV pela técnica PCR. RESULTADOS: Nenhuma das amostras da cavidade oral foi positiva para HPV, enquanto no genital, o HPV foi detectado em 17 (57 por cento) das 30 pacientes, principalmente o HPV 6b e 16. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados mostraram maior porcentagem do HPV genital em relação à cavidade oral, e sugerem que o HPV genital não parece ser fator predisponente para a infecção oral no mesmo paciente.


Infection by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the most frequent sexually transmitted diseases all over the world. The relationship between oral and genital HPV remains uncertain, as it is with its role on oral carcinogenesis. The goal of the present investigation was to check for the presence of HPV DNA in the oral and genital mucosas of women with HPV genital infection, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). STUDY METHOD: Cross-sectional cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: this is a pilot and prospective study involving 30 women, aged between 14 and 51 years, with HPV genital infection, confirmed by histopathology. All the patients were submitted to the exam and sample collection by swabbing the oral and genital mucosas in order to test for HPV DNA through the PCR technique. RESULTS: none of the oral cavity samples were positive for HPV, while in the genital tract, HPV was detected in 17 (57 percent) of the 30 patients, especially HPVs 6b and 16. CONCLUSION: Results show a higher percentage of genital HPV in comparison to the oral cavity, and suggest that genital HPV does not seem to be a predisposing factor for the oral infection in the same patient.
