The main problem of the contemporary society is the generation and disposal of the garbage, which has causing a series of impacts and risk for the human health. The main goal of this research was carry out a diagnosis of the water and soil quality at areas of arrangement of the garbage at the county of Andradas, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The methodology was comprised of visits and photographic survey of the site, chemical analysis of soil (pH, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Al, B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and microbiological analysis of water (total and fecal coliform bacteria), in the month of May of 2008. The photographic survey showed that the garbage is not recovered daily. The chemical analyses showed that the soil is degraded, in what refers to his fertility, and a concentration of Mn which reached 18.9 mg kg-1. The microbiological analyses indicated an absence of fecal coliform, however a potential water pollution exists by total coliform, which reached 9.3 x 103 NMP 100 mL-1.Keywords: water resources, garbage, soil and water pollution. |
