摘要

The impact of oil extraction and processing facilities in the coastal environment was explored, regarding the presence of radionuclides and heavy metals in seawater, sediments, and seaweed. The activity of radium and uranium in seawater was measured by α-spectrometry while the metals concentrations (As, Pb, Cu, Mn, Cr, Zn, Ni, Fe) were determined by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence. The survey was undertaken in two seasons and the values were compared with those determined in a reference site. Enrichment, transfer and contamination factors were obtained, demonstrating that the concentration of the metals dispersed into their surroundings are not dangerous for humans. The study will contribute to the assessment of environmental pollution from radionuclides and heavy metals caused by oil processing facilities and therefore be used as a database to take the necessary measures to protect the public and the environment.
