ANÁLISE QUÍMICA MULTIELEMENTAR DE AMOSTRAS DE ÁGUA TRATADA EM 18 MUNICÍPIOS DO NORTE GOIANO

Abstract

This study analyzed the quality of the water consumed by the population of the 18 municipalities that make up the northern region of the state of Goiás, Brazil. Chemical analyzes were performed multielement (ICP-OES method) of the material collected in the Water Treatment Plants (WTP). From the results, we constructed a correlation matrix defining the geochemical associations. The analysis of integrated data revealed the presence of high concentrations (1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd order) of chemical elements and chemical compounds, respectively, Ba, Ca, Cl, Fe, Mg, Mn, Sr, Zn, SO4 and NO3. Visits were carried out in the cities studied ETAs, to check the type of water treatment, and evaluate possible environmental exposure. We stress the importance of this study as multielement disclosure about the quality of drinking water in the state of Goiás, emphasizing the multistakeholder nature of government agencies, civil society, in order to guide policy strategies to promote the quality of drinking water, as well as the preservation of water sources.
