Resumo

As bitucas de cigarro possuem mais de 7000 substâncias tóxicas em sua composição. O descarte inadequado desses resíduos contribui para a poluição das áreas costeiras perpetuando a presença desses contaminantes no ambiente e tornando-os frequentemente disponíveis à bioacumulação. Diversos estudos ecotoxicológicos demonstram que a presença desses resíduos afeta as condições normais de diversos organismos, representando uma ameaça para o ecossistema marinho. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática sobre diferentes metodologias experimentais, utilizando bitucas de cigarro como contaminante para testes em organismos marinhos. Foram analisadas 4 bases de dados: Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed e ScienceDirect; utilizando como descritores, sozinho ou combinado: Cigarette butt AND tobacco AND toxicity AND biassays AND Marine Pollution de acordo com o método PRISMA e sem limitação de tempo. Apenas 13 artigos se adequaram aos critérios de inclusão e foram objeto de análise para esta pesquisa. Os trabalhos demonstraram divergências metodológicas sobre a definição de métodos  para realização dos  testes ecotoxicológicos com esse tipo de resíduo tóxico, implicando na dificuldade de padronização entre os estudos.  Os grupos de organismos testados encontrados nos artigos revisados foram: crustáceos (33,33%), poliquetas (13,33%), bivalves (26,67%) echinodermos (13,33%) e peixes (13,33%), cada um possuindo sua própria metodologia. Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de implementação de um guia para experimentação com bitucas de cigarro e fauna marinha através de técnicas reproduzíveis para aprimorar a comunicação entre os dados e obter uma comparação mais eficaz entre diferentes estudos.
