| Streams Mandacaru, Maringá, Miosótis and Nazareth in the urban area of Maringá, Estado do Paraná, Brazil are affected by the local population’s polluting practices. Meristemic cells of Allium cepa L. roots were used as test system to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of the streams’ water. Onion roots were prepared by Feulgen reaction and stained with Schiff's reagent. Statistical analysis of the mitotic index was undertaken with the chi-square test. Results did not show significant cytotoxic effect of water samples. Results may dependent on climate variations, concentration of harmful substances, and on the time and samples sites evaluated. A deeper awareness of the population should be underscored for the proper use, preservation and maintenance of soil and... |

| Total mercury (HgT) and monomethylmercury (MMHg) were investigated in a tropical head watershed (1 km(2)) of French Guiana. The watershed includes a pristine area on the hill slopes and a former gold mined flat in the bottomland. Concentrations of dissolved and particulate HgT and MMHg were measured in rain, throughfall, soil water and at three points along the stream. Samples were taken in-between and during 14 storm events at the beginning and middle of the 2005 and 2006 rainy seasons. Dissolved and particulate HgT concentrations in the stream slightly increased downstream, while dissolved and particulate MMHg concentrations were low at the pristine sub-watershed outlet (median = 0.006 ng L-1 and 1.84 ng g(-1), respectively) and sharply increased at the... |
