The studies were carried part of the University of Coimbra - Portugal (Ecotoxicology Laboratory of Soil and Marine Research Institute-IMAR) and part of the premises of Embrapa Agrobiology - RJ. Originated from the beneficiation process aluminum, red mud (red mud), is generated from the refining of bauxite to produce alumina (Al2O3). Characterized as material of high alkalinity and large amount of salts associated with a huge amount produced annually by industries, the disposal of this material requires innumerous care. Accordingly, studies involving the analysis of the possible effects of the use and application of this material in the soil and on water sources emerge as key tools to minimize damage, either to the soil biological community, as water bodies. The aim of this study were assessing the intrinsic toxicity of red mud in soil organisms in artificial soil (Chapter I), and In Natural soil (Chapter II); end on aquatic organisms (Chapter III) as a result of leaching from contaminated soil solution. For ecotoxicological tests with soil organisms we studied two 'types' of waste, namely the red mud ?In Natura? and "Filtered" (with a 3% reduction in the content of Na). The concentrations tested were initially 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% of the residue ?In Natura?, and then set new doses of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40% residual In Natura and also the "Filtered", and two types of soil collected in the same region (Po?os de Caldas - MG) where there are deposits of bauxite (Alcoa). In Chapter a considerable difference in the sensitivity of the test organisms was checked. The results showed that the red mud strongly inhibited reproduction for each. The high sodium concentration (Na+ = 18500.9 mg L-1) is probably the most deleterious factor for the reproduction of these species and has not been minimized toxicity by treatment applied to the sludge to reduce this salt. In Chapter II was observed an increase in the effects of the toxicity associated with natural soils. Still, the particular characteristics of each soil allow achieving particular outcomes for each environment tested. In Chapter III the residue ?In Natura? proved toxic to all aquatic organisms studied.
