Resumo
Pollution from vehicle in parking areas has become a challenge mainly in urban
centers. In Brazil impounded vehicle scrapyards (IVS) are often overcrowded and may
pose a source of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Recently Lange et al. (2016)
have evaluated PTEs mass fraction on topsoil (0.2m) in an IVS at Ribeirao Pires city
(23 42’8" S 46 25’34" W) which lies 29km southwest of São Paulo city, in southwest
of Brazil. The authors observed hot spots for most elements suggesting vehicular
source. This IVS terrain was filled with soil mixed with demolition waste, such as
brick, tiles, steel, wood, plastic, glass, asphalt fragments, rubbers and also auto parts
pieces. Since 90’s, this IVS is operational and, before the filling, no evaluation on
PTEs soil distribution by depth was performed. Therefore, many doubts concerning
PTEs downward mobiliy lay in this site. The aim of this study is to evaluate if PTEs
indeed moved through the soil depth and if so what are PTE’s concentration in
groundwater, since this site has a permeable surface and vehicles are parked directly
on topsoil. Three monitoring wells were installed. Nine samples were collected
in plastic liners: four in PM1, three in PM2 and two in PM3. Groundwater was
sampled using a low flow peristaltic pump and pH, electrical conductivity, redox
potential and temperature were measured with a multiparameter probe. Neutron
activation analysis was employed to determine PTEs in soil samples, and ICP-MS
was the analytical technique for groundwater analysis. The obtained values were
compared with literature data from Brazil and other regions around the world, as
so with recommended values from environmental regulatory agencies. Although the
obtained results have indicated some PTEs enrichment in the distinct soil layers,
these elements did not reach groundwater, according to present evaluation.
