Estudo da influência de necrochorume no entorno do cemitério da saudade, bairro Nova Marabá na cidade de Marabá-Pará

Abstract

Cemeteries when unplanned are sources of soil and groundwater pollution and, as a result, they may give rise to the environmental damage and public health threat. In this way, the present study aims to delineate areas with higher levels of vulnerability to contamination caused by pollutants (necrochorume) around the necropolis that is located in Folha 29, in the neighborhood of Nova Marabá, in the city of Marabá-PA. We used deep tubular wells data to generate potentiometric surface and underground flow maps through the topographic data and static water level. From the maps used were generated only analyses on the trend of direction of groundwater flow indicating to NE of the area. The geological context of the study area is of a cleft environment belonging to the aquifer Couto Magalhães and the method used is not the most effective for the present geology. However, the results obtained allow them to be used as a support tool for future work, such as: geophysical studies and physicochemical analyses to successfully demarcate areas and levels of contamination from the Cemitério da Saudade.
