Resumo

The purpose of this work was the quantitative analysis of bisphenol A (BPA), in soil of two sanitary landfills in Caxias do Sul and Farroupilha, RS-Brazil.The samples were collected from closed cells and extracted by Soxhlet.The organic extracts were analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (GC/FID) and BPA was quantified by the internal normalization method.Standard bisphenol A (Sigma-Aldrich, 99.00%) was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.The average concentration of BPA was of 21.30 (0.61) µg g -1 of soil.The BPA concentration found in this work is much higher than the others reported in the literature.This result is worrying because there is a suspicion that bisphenol A disrupts the endocrine system.
