Abstract in Portuguese
Algumas ilhas oceânicas como o Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo podem ser consideradas áreas remotas e preservadas devido a sua distância do continente. Entretanto, essas regiões não estão isentas da influência de agentes antrópicos oriundos das regiões costeiras, como é o caso dos poluentes orgânicos persistentes (POPs). A presente proposta visou determinar a ocorrência e distribuição de POPs na biota marinha, do Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo. As extrações das amostras foram realizadas em micro-ondas e os pesticidas organoclorados e os PCBs/PBDEs foram analisados respectivamente por cromatografia a gás com detecção por captura de elétrons e espectrometria de massas. Os compostos predominantes foram os PCBs e os DDTs que apresentaram, respectivamente, as concentrações máximas de: 127,7 e 34,37 ng g-1 para Exocoetus volitans (Peixe-voador), 98,15 e 8,89 ng g-1 para Sula leucogaster (Atobá-marrom) e 90,5 e 18,86 ng g-1 Grapsus grapsus (Aratu). Os baixos valores dos contaminantes sugerem um relativo grau de isolamento e preservação, porém a ocorrência e o perfil de distribuição dos PCBs sustenta a hipótese de que a principal fonte de contaminação em áreas remotas é o transporte atmosférico de longa distância, e demonstra a ubiquidade desses poluentes no ambiente marinho.

São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago
Abstract in English
Some oceanic islands, such as São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago may be considered remote areas and preserved due to its distance from the mainland. However, these areas are not exempt from the influence of anthropogenic agents from coastal regions, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This proposal aimed to determine the occurrence and distribution of POPs in marine biota of São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago. Samples extractions were performed with microwave and organochlorine pesticides and PCBs/PBDES was respectively analysed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection and mass spectrometry. The predominant compounds were PCBs and DDTs that presented, respectively, the maximum concentrations 127.7 and 34.37 ng g-1 to Exocoetus volitans (Flying fish), 98.15 and 8.89 ng g-1 to Sula leucogaster (Brown Booby) and 90.5 and 18.86 ng g-1 to Grapsus grapsus (Sally Lightfoot crab). The low levels of contaminants suggest a relative degree of isolation and preservation, but the occurrence and distribution profiles of PCBs supports the hypothesis that the main source of contamination in remote areas is long range atmospheric transport, and demonstrates the ubiquity of those pollutants in the marine environment.
