Resumo

THE CASE OF TUPI VILLAGE, PORTO VELHO-RO.Underground storage tanks (UST) are widely used in the Porto Velho area.A large number of these USTs are in bad condition due to corrosion processes causing groundwater contamination.A large number of these leaking underground fuel tanks (LUFT) are in urban areas but due to the lack of water quality monitoring, they are only detected when there is a high contamination level.This study identified petroleum hydrocarbons, derived from a LUFT, by a silica gel/petroleum ether partitioning gravimetric method and by gas chromatographic analysis of samples collected in wells dug in a gas station and in houses in the aforementioned neighborhood.
