The aim of this study was to monitor the water quality of Luiz Rau stream, through physicochemical parameters, environmental characteristics of the site, and genotoxicity test in Allium cepa. Four water samples from Luiz Rau stream were collected once a week for one month and some physicochemical parameters were verified. The environmental characteristics were performed by the Quick Assessment Protocol (QAP) and evaluated at the sampling site. For the genotoxicity assay, the Allium cepa test was utilized. In relation to the water physicochemical parameters, low levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) and high levels of ammonia, and phosphorus were obtained, which demonstrates the poor quality of the stream. The QAP results identified the stream as impacted. The mitotic index parameter was altered in the seed exposed to raw water samples in the third and fourth sample collection, demonstrating cell cycle reduction and proliferation respectively; witch can be associated with the presence of contaminated effluents in the water. In relation to the genotoxicity, the micronuclei were increased in seeds exposed to four raw samples in comparison to the control group. Therefore, the results obtained can characterize the Luiz Rau stream as impacted, mostly by anthropic actions, corroborating with other publications.
