Abstract in Portuguese
A contaminação dos solos por elementos potencialmente tóxicos provoca alterações na estrutura e no funcionamento dos ecossistemas, além de oferecer riscos à saúde pública. Embora os metais pesados ocorram naturalmente, fontes antropogênicas contribuem para o aumento das taxas de redistribuição desses elementos entre os compartimentos do ambiente. O coeficiente de distribuição ou partição sólido-solução (Kd) permite observar a afinidade entre os metais e os colóides do solo. O Kd é peça-chave em muitos modelos para definição de valores orientadores e para previsão de riscos ambientais, e seu valor é dependente das condições edafoclimáticas das regiões onde se assentam os solos. Os valores de Kd de metais pesados ainda não foram determinados para solos da região Amazônica. Nesse estudo objetivou-se determinar os valores de Kd de metais pesados em solos do Estado do Pará. Para tanto foram conduzidos experimentos de adsorção, tipo batch, nos quais foram adicionados 0,5; 1,0; 2,5; 5,0 mg L-1 de Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, e Zn em amostras de 21 solos paraenses. As menores variações nos valores absolutos de Kd foram registradas para o Pb (uma ordem de magnitude - 196,4 a 5.572,5 L kg-1) e para o Cu, Hg e Ni (duas ordens de magnitude 50,5 a 7.368,7; 24,9 a 4.191,6; 4,7 a 524,2 L kg- 1, respectivamente). Variações de três ordens de magnitude foram observadas para: Cd (6,0 a 2.471,9 L kg-1), Co (2,7 a 4.604,1 L kg-1), Cr (2,5 a 1.811,6 L kg-1) e Zn (1,4 a 7.933,0 L kg-1). Obteve-se a seguinte ordem de afinidade: Pb > Cu > Hg > Cr > Cd Co > Ni > Zn. O pH, os teores dos óxidos de Fe e de Mn e a CTC foram os atributos dos solos que mais se correlacionaram com os valores de Kd, que foram inferiores aos estabelecidos por Agências Internacionais e para o Estado de São Paulo.

Abstract in English
Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements affects the structure and the functioning of the ecosystems and pose risks to public health. Although heavy metals occur naturally, anthropogenic sources contribute to increased rates of redistribution of these elements between the compartments of the environment. The solid-solution coefficient of distribution or partition (Kd) shows the affinity between metals and soil colloids. Kd is a key componentt in many models for defining and guiding values for prediction of environmental hazards, and its value is dependent on environmental conditions in the regions where they settle the soil. Kd values for heavy metals have not been determined for soils in the Amazon region. In this study, these values were obtained for 21 soils of the State of Pará, Brazil. Adsorption experiments were conducted, type "batch ", by means of the adition of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 mg L-1 of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn to the soils. The small variations in the absolute values of Kd were recorded for Pb (an order of magnitude 196.4 to 5,572.5 L kg-1) and for Cu, Hg and Ni (two orders of magnitude 50.5 to 7,368.7; 24.9 to 4,191.6; 4.7 to 524.2 L kg-1, respectively). Variations of three orders of magnitude were observed for: Cd (6.0 to 2,471.9 L kg-1), Co (2.7 to 4,604.1 L kg-1), Cr (2.5 to 1,811.6 L kg-1), and Zn (1.4 to 7,933.0 L kg-1). We obtained the following order of affinity: Pb > Cu > Hg > Cr > Cd Co > Ni > Zn. The pH, the contents of Fe and Mn oxides, and CEC were the soil attributes that correlated significantly with the values of Kd, which were lower than those set by international and the State of São Paulo, Brazil, agencies.
