Water Toxicity

• The toxicity tests indicated the impact was restrict to P0 terrestrial area;

• it was observed toxicity in other parts of the rivers not related to the oil spill (caused by other sources)

CONCLUSIONS ABOUT RIVER WATER

⇒ No contamination was observed at Iguassu river at P7 (84 km), P8

(174 km), P9 (314km) stations during the monitoring after the spill;

⇒ The BTEX, TPH, PAH results indicated:

• the high concentrations were obtained at P0 terrestrial region;

• the upstream stations demonstrated high level of hydrocarbon;

• the downstream stations at Barigui and Iguassu rivers showed

background hydrocarbon levels after 1 week of the accident;

� No match with the Biomarkers of the spilled oil was observed

for the downstream stations even in Barigui or Iguassu river.

Iguassu River oil spill - July/2000

CONCLUSIONS About the River Sediments UPSTREAM:

- The background levels at the upstream stations from Barigui and Iguassu rivers showed high level of contamination (metals and hydrocarbons);

- Barigui river more contaminated than Iguassu river.

DOWNSTREAM:

- The sites more contaminated (P4 and P5) suggested some oil presence but the biomarkers (terpanes and steranes) analysis showed no matches with

the spilled oil ;

- Literature comparison of PAH in sediments showed similar concentration levels for other Brazilian rivers;

- High level of toxicity was observed to stations situated far from the spill site suggesting other sources of pollutants.

GENERAL CONCLUSION

About the Rivers

- It was not observed significant contamination in water or

sediments from Barigui and Iguassu rivers after the cleanup

step;

- Same level of hydrocarbon in upstream or dowstream the

accident (exception P4 and P5);

- Literature comparison of Hydrocarbon in sediments showed

similar concentration levels for other Brazilian rivers;

- High level of toxicity was observed to stations situated far

from the spill site suggesting other sources of pollutants.

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

About the terrestrial area

- The more contaminated site was the P0 terrestrial area

(approx. 130,000 m2);

- The TPH, BTEX in groundwater revealed significant

decrease in last campaing (Aug/2001);

- Several recovery and bioremediation methods have

been implemented in this region;

- Long term soil and groundwater monitoring is still

being conducted in this area.
