Abstract

As a result of the world's dependence on oil, as well as the impact this production chain has on some producing countries. There is a certain carelessness when the objective is to reduce the impacts that the activity produces on the environment. Thus, investigations on chemical compounds used and produced by this industry are necessary and relevant. In order to identify possible toxic effects on organisms from terrestrial environments, this study analyzed the effects of Kendex OCTG and Jet Lube® Korr-Guard™ thread compounds on Eisenia andrei (earthworms). Standard NBR ISO 17512-1 - Soil Quality - Leakage test to assess soil quality and effects of chemical substances on behavior Part 1: Assay with earthworms (Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei) was used. In the earthworm escape, test only Kendex OCTG showed a sublethal effect similar to the reference compound, boric acid, while the tested worms Jet Lube® Korr-Guard™ showed attraction behavior. The ecotoxicological approaches showed that, regarding the sublethality parameter, no ecotoxicological risk was demonstrated in the Jet Lube® Korr-Guard™ dope, while the Kendex OCTG thread compound showed a sublethal to Eisenia andrei, representing this risk form for terrestrial organisms. We suggest further studies with other parameters (genotoxicity, neurotoxicity and cytotoxicity, for example) that may add more ecotoxicological information to these products.
