Resumo

This study verifíed the capacity of retention of helminths eggs in a system composed by waste stabilization ponds, and for that purpose three methods were tested and evaluated (EXTRABES, Leeds J and the A method, recommended by the World Health Organization, described by Schwartzbrod (WHO, 1989). As no data were available on the retrieval of helminths eggs by the Schwartzbrod method, a technique was proposed to determine this percentage. The assays were carried out on samples with sedimentable solid volumes ranging from 1,0 ml to 20,0 ml with a retrieval rate of 18% and 3,3%, respectively. The number of helminth eggs retrieved through this method was larger in samples with less sedimentable solids. These results show that when carrying out a sewage parasitological examination, the amount of solid sediments must be determined in order to apply the correspondem recuperation rates to the values of solids found in the original sample. Comparing the obtained results, the Schwartzbrod method was 1,5 fold more effícient in recuperating helminth eggs than the EXTRABES and 7,8 fold than the Leeds I method. The output of the fírst lake was not appropriate in relation with the removal of helminth eggs in 16,6% of the samples for utilization in agriculture, according to the World Health Organization patterns. Ali the examined samples in the final output, presented a negative value. It was concluded that for the period studied, in terms of parasitological criteria to be followed, the final output of the system could be used in restricted irrigations, according to the World Health Organization recommendations.
