| Abstract | |
Water is very importance for survive of life, the Corumbataí river provides water for Analândia, Corumbataí, Rio Claro and Piracicaba and others cities. The environmental toxicology has been disseminated how a tool in environmental monitoring, because through the bioassays is possible evaluate the quality of water body. The objective of this study was assess the quality of the water body in focus through chronic tests, rapid assessment protocols, determination of metals in suspended matter and acute toxicity of two herbicides (ametryn and gliphosate) with Ceriodaphnia silvestrii. The water samples were collected monthly between august 2009 to july 2010. For the 12 samples verified at least one or more samples has more iron concentration than maximum value permitted of CONAMA. The oscillation of the rapid assessment protocols scores was directed associated with visual and olfactory aspects. In chronic assays with Ceriodaphnia silvestrii has the variation in the reproduction of the organisms and through the statics analyzes was possible observed that the pH, dissolved oxygen conductivity, Zn, Ti and Ni influenced in the toxicity of sample. The herbicides ametryn and glyphosate showed the EC50 (48h)respectively 0.50 and 4.5 mg L-1. It is conclude that the chronic toxicity was influenced by physics- chemistries parameters and metals during the 12 months. The rapid assessment protocol complete the results from chronic tests of toxicity. Through of acute toxicity assays verified that the ametryn is nine times more toxic than glyphosate. (AU) | |
