Abstract
The contamination profile was measured in the soil at three points on the Marambaia MSW. The various ions studied were chloride, sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammonium and nickel. On the South size of the area, there are signs of a slight shifting process. On the East side, contamination has occurred due to high concentrations of chloride, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium at depth. On the North side, next to the Iguacu River, ammonium concentrations of about 140 mg/L at a depth of 6.5m also indicate a possible process of contamination in this area.
