Low levels of persistent organic pollutants in sediments of the Doce River mouth, South Atlantic, before the Fundao dam failure

Amanda Camara de Souza et al.

Summary: The study presented the baseline levels, inventories, and risk assessment of PCBs and OCPs in surface sediment of the Doce River mouth before the rupture of the Fundao Dam. Results showed a low potential of PCBs and OCPs accumulation before the dam failure, with the decrease of Doce River flow being a main factor contributing to seasonal variations.

Temporal and spatial trend analysis of surface water quality in the Doce River basin, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Micael de Souza Fraga et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the temporal and spatial trends of water quality data in the Doce River basin in Brazil, revealing that most stations did not show significant trends in water quality, but there were decreasing trends in densely populated areas due to poor sanitary conditions. Diffuse pollution from farming areas and domestic effluent discharge were identified as key factors affecting water quality, with concerns about maintaining degradation in water bodies. Cluster analysis grouped monitoring stations based on similarity in Water Quality Index values, highlighting the Caratinga River basin as having the highest pollution levels and suggesting potential reallocation or deactivation of certain stations for optimization.

Metal and metallothionein levels in zooplankton in relation to environmental exposure: spatial and temporal variability (Saronikos Gulf, Greece)

Evangelia Strogyloudi et al.

Summary: Metal and metallothionein in mixed zooplankton were studied to monitor metal availability in the Saronikos Gulf. Spatial and temporal variability of metal concentrations were observed, with higher levels in sites influenced by human pressures. Bioconcentration from water to zooplankton was found to be higher than other transfer pathways.

Gypsum Amendment Induced Rapid Pyritization in Fe-Rich Mine Tailings from Doce River Estuary after the Fundao Dam Collapse

Amanda D. Ferreira et al.

Summary: Mine tailings containing trace metals from a mining disaster entered the Doce River estuary, posing a potential risk to the ecosystem. An experiment using gypsum amendment to induce pyritization showed promising results in remediation of metal contamination in the estuary.

Impacts of exposure to mine tailings on zooplankton hatching from a resting egg bank

Gleice de Souza Santos et al.

Summary: Two environmental disasters involving iron-enriched mine tailings occurred in Brazil in the last five years. This study found that exposure to iron-enriched mine tailings can impact the hatching of zooplankton resting eggs, leading to a decrease in hatchling abundance and potential negative impacts on the restoration of zooplankton communities.

Role of Fe dynamic in release of metals at Rio Doce estuary: Unfolding of a mining disaster

Hermano M. Queiroz et al.

Summary: The dynamic role of Fe oxyhydroxides on metal bioavailability in the Rio Doce estuary was studied after the largest mining disaster in the world in 2015. Results showed that Fe oxyhydroxides in estuarine soils underwent reductive dissolution due to organic matter inputs from plant colonization on deposited tailings, leading to significant decreases in Fe and total metal contents in the soil. This suggests a potential chronic contamination in the estuary and highlights the aggravating scenario for the following years due to the increasing dominance of poorly crystalline Fe oxyhydroxides.

Copepod community structure after a mining dam disaster in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

Laura Rodrigues da Conceicao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the potential effects of iron ore tailings on the copepod community in the marine area adjacent to the Doce River mouth, with a focus on suspended particulate matter (SPM). The results showed a negative correlation between community composition and higher SPM concentrations, with specific indicator species identified. Water masses were found to be the main factor influencing community structure, with specific species dominating under certain conditions.

Pollution levels and biomarker responses in zooplankton from three hydrographic regions of southern Brazil: An integrated approach for water quality monitoring

Yuri Dornelles Zebral et al.

Summary: The study found a geographical pattern in the bioaccumulation of chemical pollutants in zooplankton, with higher exposure in agricultural and industrial areas. Biomarkers MTs and LPO were positively related to pollutant concentration, indicating their suitability for environmental monitoring programs. Zooplankton, as a major component of aquatic food chains, can potentially biomagnify chemical pollutants along higher levels, raising concerns for ecological impacts.
