Resumo
A contaminação de solos e água subterrânea por hidrocarbonetos derivados de petróleo tende a liberar vapores que migram da subsuperfície para o ar, expondo, principalmente o ser humano à inalação de compostos que podem oferecer risco a sua saúde. Porém a volatilização destes compostos pode indicar as possíveis fontes de contaminação em subsuperfície. As agências de proteção ambiental, como a EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), nos Estados Unidos, e os órgãos ambientais no Brasil, como a CETESB - Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental, tem recomendado a avaliação dos Compostos Orgânicos Voláteis – VOC, por meio da técnica denominada Soil Gas Survey. Esta técnica vem sendo largamente utilizada por empresas de consultoria ambiental. Consiste na verificação de concentrações anômalas de VOC no solo in-situ, por meio de analisadores portáteis como FID, PID e Oxidação Catalítica, balizando os trabalhos de investigação e direcionando a quantidade de sondagens e poços de monitoramento para coletas de amostras de solo e água subterrânea para análises químicas. Desta forma o presente trabalho avaliou a presença de possíveis vapores em uma antiga área industrial abandonada contaminada por BTEX e Organoclorados. Esta avaliação foi feita por meio da técnica Soil Gas Survey com a utilização do analisador portátil de Oxidação Catalítica e simulou a volatilização dos contaminantes presentes na água subterrânea por meio do modelo matemático RBCA – Risk- Based Corrective Action Tool Kit Version 2. Os baixos resultados da modelagem da volatilização dos compostos confirmaram os resultados nulos na campanha de avaliação dos VOC no solo pela técnica Soil Gas Survey. Estes resultados sugerem à não capacidade destes compostos chegarem até a superfície.
The contamination of soils and underground water by hydrocarbonates of petroleum derivatives tend to release vapors that migrate from the subsurface to the air, exposing, mainly the human being to the inhalation of compounds that can offer risk to their health. However this volatilization of this compounds can indicate possible sources of contamination in the subsurface. The agencies of environmental protection, like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), in the United States, and the environmental organizations in Brazil, like CETESB – Company of Technology of Environmental Sanitation, has recommended the evaluation of Volatile Organic Compounds – VOC, through the technique called Soil Gas Survey. This technique has been largely used by companies of environmental consulting. It consists on the verification of VOC anomalous concentration in the soil in-situ, by portable analyzers like FID, PID and Catalytic Oxidation, beaconing the investigation work directing the quantity of polls and monitoring wells to the collection of samples of soil and underground water to chemical analyses. This way the present work evaluated the presence of possible vapors in an old abandoned industrial area contaminated by BTEX and organochlorines. This evaluation was made through the Soil Gas Survey technique with the use of the portable analyzer of Catalytic Oxidation and simulated the volatilization of the contaminants presented in the underground water through the mathematical model RBCA – Risk- Based Corrective Action Tool Kit Version 2. The low results of the simulation of the compounds volatilization confirmed the null results in the evaluation campaign of the VOC in the soil through the technique Soil Gas Survey. This results suggest the non capacity of this compound reaching the surface
