Abstract:

Despite major technological advances introduced in treatment processes of human drinking water, water used for supply have become a major public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of water consumed in two coastal communities in Pará exposed to domestic and industrial pollutants. Four sampling campaigns were conducted in both communities and the variables used to calculate the Water Quality Index (WQI) were pH, Total Solids, chloride, fluoride, hardness and nitrate-N. The water used for human consumption in the Community Maranhão, there is no contamination by industrial pollutants, showed adequate samples, with improvement in the dry season; already the Vila do Conde water, location near the industrial activity, were in both seasonal periods with acceptable quality for human consumption. The most affected parameters were pH and nitrate-N, with values up to 25 times the reference of the Brazilian legislation for drinking water. These results indicated higher anthropogenic interference in the vicinity of Vila do Conde in Barcarena, necessitating the clinical evaluations by professionals on the health status of this population.
