Toxicological Effects of Waterproofing Paints on Port Ecosystems André Vinícius Oliveira de Godoi, Walter Barrella

Abstract

Marine pollution found in ports in general is initially formed by the port operations of the maritime terminals, including fuels, grains, sewage, and other pollutants, but they have a considerable influence on marine life and the loss of biodiversity in these regions . It is the waterproofing paints, used to waterproof structures and to avoid incrustations on their surface, in this way we will analyze the impacts of the Weber.Guard SF P235 epoxy paint from Saint Gobain / Quartzolit manufacturer in contact with the species that insist on incrustations in such surfaces, after 6 months of the waterproofing paint, comparisons of the species found in stakes with paint and without waterproofing paint will be made, in order to verify which species persist and were affected in their formation, after direct and indirect exposure. The results obtained after the collections and laboratory tests, will be able to evaluate what influence of the ink and its impacts on the species.
