anaerobic treatment for this waste was observed, decreasing the organic content to 65580% and totally reducing the acute toxicity levels. The organic matter was still being reduced in the aerobic system, despite the fact that the effluent did not present acute toxicity anymore. During the observation period, it was concluded that the effluent did not cause any impact on the stream. This kind of treatment also seemed to be convenient for the residues of the citrus industry. rates, determined by 14C02 evolution, were between 0.16 and 0.26%. The distribution of radioactivity in the soil profile showed that more than 90% of the total amount remained in the soil and it was mostly in the top 2cm layer of the soil.
