Coal burning generates gases, particles, and condensation by-products that are harmful to soil, water, and to the atmosphere. The aim of this study was to characterize and identify the cytotoxic and mutagenic potential of soil samples from the cities of Aceguá, Bagé, Candiota and Pinheiro Machado, near a large coal-fired power plant. Our study describes soil characteristics and contributes to the evaluation of the genotoxic activity of coal mining and burning, using the Comet Assay and Micronucleus test in V79 cells, as well as mutagenicity assays with Salmonella typhimurium strains. Comet Assay results show that the winter soil samples of Candiota and Pinheiro Machado induced a significant increase of the Damage Index for cells, as well as for the Aceguá summer sample. The micronucleus test did not detect differences between cities and seasons. A component analysis indicates associations between results obtained in Comet Assay and Ti and phenanthene concentrations for Pinheiro Machado during the winter, and Al for Aceguá during the summer and Zn during the winter. Results of Salmonella/microsome assays were negative, only Candiota and Pinheiro Machado samples showed a statistical increase of his + colonies in TA102. Our work describes biological data on these cells exposed to coal-contaminated soil, confirming the sensitivity of the Comet Assay in V79 cells and Salmonella/microsome assay for the evaluation of the effects of complex mixtures. These findings help to understand the spatial distribution of contaminants in the local soil related to a power plant, which is important for planning public safety actions.
