Resistividade elétrica utilizada no imageamento da contaminação proveniente da disposição de resíduos de óleos lubrificantes

Geophysics has been showing to be effective in identifying areas contaminated by waste disposal, contributing to the soundings programs aiming direct sampling and monitoring well installation to become more efficient. In this context, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential of the resistivity method in characterizing the contamination of the lubricant oil residues disposal area in Ribeirão Preto - SP. The geophysical methods used enabled the geophysical anomalies identification, which characterized the contamination produced by the leachate migration originated in the cells filled with the lubricant oil waste.
