ABSTRACT:
We collected 23 samples of groundwater from wells located in the residential area affected by the industrial hub of Barcarena - Para, aiming to determine the influence of the presence of industries in the mining area to the potability of groundwater used for human consumption. We analyzed the parameters of potability established by Ordinance 518 of 2005 of the Ministry of Health, such as pH, turbidity, chloride, color, hardness, total dissolved solids, nitrite and ammonia. The results showed an average pH of 4.7, with an average of 4.37 turbidity UT chloride with an average of 10.45 mg/L, color UC with an average of 6.18, with an average hardness of 12.89 mg / L, with an average of 47.3 STD, nitrite. In general, all parameters examined were within the standards of potability, except that the pH is probably due to the hydrogeological characteristics of the region, showing that water resources are not being altered in quality.
