Abstract in Portuguese
As cinzas resultantes da queima de carvão por usinas termelétricas tem sido uma fonte de contaminação constante devido a seu descarte sobre o solo de forma inadequada. Os elementos tóxicos presentes na cinza de carvão quando lixiviados da cinza para o solo podem ficar biodisponíveis e serem absorvidos por plantas, consumidos por animais ou ainda transportados para diversas matrizes ambientais, tais como, águas subterrâneas e águas superficiais. Ensaio de germinação e desenvolvimento das radículas de Lactuca sativa e ensaio de toxicidade aguda com Daphnia similis foram realizados para avaliar a toxicidade dos percolados de colunas de cinza de carvão e de solo com cinza de carvão. De acordo com os valores obtidos por meio dos ensaios de germinação e desenvolvimento das radículas de L. sativa foram observados efeitos tóxicos à germinação das sementes de L. sativa nos percolados da coluna de cinza de carvão. Os valores médios de CI50(120h) destes percolados variaram de 27,6 a 90,6% e os valores do índice de germinação (IG) variaram de 6,7 a 40,8. Nos ensaios de toxicidade aguda com os organismos teste D. similis também foram observados efeitos tóxicos à mobilidade e/ou sobrevivência dos organismos expostos aos percolados da coluna de cinza de carvão. Os valores obtidos para CE50(48h) nestes percolados variaram de 25,6 a 84,1%. Os percolados das colunas de solo com cinza de carvão não apresentaram toxicidade tanto à L. sativa como à D. similis. Os resultados obtidos por meio destes ensaios ecotoxicológicos para os percolados das colunas de cinza de carvão e de solo com cinza de carvão indicam que o solo das colunas retiveram as substâncias tóxicas lixiviadas da cinza de carvão, ou seja, os solos utilizados nestas colunas atuaram como filtros.
Title in English
Ecotoxicological evaluation of leachates from columns of coal fly ash and soil with coal fly ash using Lactuca sativa and Daphnia similis as test organism
Keywords in English

Abstract in English
The coal fly ash of power plants has been a constant source of contamination due to the improperly disposed on the soil. The toxic elements leached from coal fly ash when in contact with soil could become bioavailable and be absorbed by plants, consumed by animals or transported to different environmental matrices, such as groundwater and surface water. Seed germination and root elongation tests with Lactuca sativa and acute toxicity tests with Daphnia similis were done to evaluate the toxicity of the leachate from coal fly ash and soil with coal fly ash columns. According to the values obtained for the seed germination and root elongation tests were observed toxic effects to seed germination of L. sativa for the leachates from coal fly ash column. The mean values of IC50(120h) for these leachates ranged from 27.6 to 90.6% and the germination index values (IG) ranged from 6.7 to 40.8. In the acute toxicity tests with test organisms D. similis were also observed toxic effects to mobility and/or survival of organisms exposed to leachates of the coal fly ash column. The values obtained for EC50(48h) for these leachates range from 25.6 to 84.1%. The leachates of soil with coal fly ash columns not presented toxicity to both test organisms, L. sativa and D. similis. The data obtained by these ecotoxicological tests to the leachates of soil coal fly ash and soil with coal fly ash columns indicate that the soil of the columns have retained the toxic substances leached from the coal fly ash, thus the soils used in these columns have acted as filters.
