The Negro river, on the shoreline of the city of Manaus, receives an input of industrial and domestic wastes from its urban tributaries, which varying composition has been changing the natural characteristics of its waters. Aiming to assess the effect of the human action on the Negro River water samples were collected, and pH, Eh, electric conductivity and alkalinity (by potentiometry); dissolved oxygen (titrimetry); ammonia and nitrite (spectrophotometry); cations Ca, Mg, Na and K, and the metals Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn (by atomic absorption spectroscopy, AAS) were analyzed. The results for pH, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrite values, indicated a worsening water quality in the Negro river, at the mouths of the São Raimundo (FISR) and Educandos (FIE) streams, which are the two major urban tributaries and receptors of domestic wastes and industrial effluents and downstream from them (JIE). Metals predominate in the dissolved phase and, apart from copper and zinc, are mostly above the maximum desirable limit allowed by the Health Ministry for human consumption. This study showed that in spite of the human contribution from its urban tributaries, the Negro river, still maintains its ability for diluting pollutants, mainly during the period of high water. |
