Abstract

In the period between 2016 and 2021, after remediation and risk assessment in an industrial area contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), groundwater quality control was promoted, using a network consisting of 8 monitoring wells. Monitoring of the environmental recovery stage was certified by the substances: TPH, o-Xylene, 1,2,4Trimethylbenzene, Naphthalene, Xylenes, Phenanthrene, Anthracene, Chrysene, Benzo(a)pyrene and Total PAHs. The focus of the evaluation was on well PM03, given its greater representativeness and proximity to a residual source of contamination. Water circulation at this interface occurs mainly in a fractured environment belonging to the Serra Geral aquifer system. At this point, the substances of interest showed different migration speeds (Vcont) and attenuation (Vr). Based on the determination of total (n), effective porosity (ƞef), hydraulic conductivity (K) and the relationship between the advective flow velocity of water (Vr) and contaminants (Vcont), the retardation factors (R) and the partition coefficients (Kd).
