Abstract

In cities, flooding negatively impacts the lives of its residents and passersby, who are unable to move during the phenomenon of heavy rain, with potential loss of human and material goods, coexisting with the risk of contamination through direct or indirect contact with the water retained in the pavement. With the premise of addressing this issue, this research brings, as a structural alternative, the use of an infiltration well, adapted to mitigate flooding, adjunct in parallel to the public rainwater drainage system, and capable of promoting the restitution of the water resource to the water table through infiltration and, notably, free from external pollutants. Thus, the use of granular activated carbon as filtering material in this structure was foreseen, for the retention of contaminants present in the impermeable urban surface. These contaminants include heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Nickel (Ni). The efficiency of this filter was evaluated through a comparison with the results obtained in samples of runoff water, corresponding to the rainy season for an urban environment delimited in Cuiabá City. It was concluded that each gram of filtering material has a capacity to retain contaminants such as Pb and Cd, respectively of 12,05 mg and 30,58 mg, above the concentrations observed in the field. Therefore, such material has the potential for removal of even more metallic compounds, providing greater safety to human health and the environment. Regarding the elements Cr and Ni, these were not found in significant concentrations, thus not offering any risk to groundwater or requiring a filtering process.

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
