RESUMO A mineração de carvão na Bacia Carbonífera Catarinense causa poluição dos recursos hídricos. O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar a água e o sedimento do Rio Palmeiras, na Bacia Hidrográfica do Tubarão, pela quantificação de metais na água em espectrômetro de massa com fonte de plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP-MS) e no sedimento em espectrometria de absorção atômica de alta resolução com fonte contínua (HR-CS AAS), e outras variáveis, relacionadas à mineração de carvão. Na água, ocorreu aumento das concentrações de Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Mn, Zn, e Pb, e no sedimento, ocorreu a diminuição das concentrações de Al, Mn, Zn, Cu e Pb em função da mineração de carvão, propiciada pela solubilização devida ao baixo pH da água. Observaram-se correlações entre as concentrações dos metais na água, no sedimento e cruzadas entre os teores na água e no sedimento. ABSTRACT The mining of coal in the Santa Catarina Carboniferous Basin cause pollution of water resources. The objective of this study was to characterize the water and sediment of the Palmeiras River, located in the Tubarão Watershed, through quantification of metals in the water in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and sediment in high resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS AAS), and other variables related to coal mining. The water had an increase in Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Mn, Zn, and Pb concentrations, and the sediment had a reduction in Al, Mn, Zn, Cu and Pb concentrations because the coal mining, through solubilization due to the low pH of the water. Correlations between concentrations of metals in the water and between concentrations of metals in the sediment were found, as well as cross correlations between metal levels in the water and sediment.
