dc.descriptionPurpose ??? The purpose of this paper is to address the case of toxic metal contamination of Sepetiba Bay caused by the Ing?? Company. The paper reviews the history of the contamination and discusses the current presence of metals in the bay sediments, demonstrating that the toxic metals are clearly enriched. Sepetiba Bay is prone to significant dredging activities that make metals available in the food chain, affecting human populations, mainly fishermen communities. Design/methodology/approach ??? The study presents the case of the Ing?? Company based on international literature and data provided by previous studies. Findings ??? Through the analysis and compilation of diverse data from the literature, this study demonstrates that the Ing?? Company is a major source of Cd, Pb and Zn due to its calamine processing activities used to obtain high purity Zn. Originality/value ??? This study highlights important research to complete the historical scenario of heavy metal contamination of the Sepetiba Bay by Ing?? Company. The results indicate that the contaminants from the Ing?? Company can indeed be traced in the sediments of Sepetiba Bay. These data have the utmost value for the environmental management of this coastal system, because such high concentrations of toxic metals in marine sediments have serious implications for the environmental quality of the bay and may negatively affect biota and human health. Therefore, this study suggests that it is now necessary to monitor this region for contamination continuously.
