SUMMARY:

Geotherapy is a practice that uses natural elements as a therapeutic method for treating health problems and preventing diseases, and is even used as a tourist attraction in regions with clayey soils. The practice of mud bathing is part of tourism in Serra do Tepequém. However, due to the ancient mining activity in the region, questions are being raised regarding the quality of the clays found at the site. In this scenario, the present work aims to analyze the quality of clays used as geotherapy in Serra do Tepequém, in Roraima, through the chemical and biological properties of the clays. The methodological steps include the characterization of soil particles, determination of the pH and ion exchange capacity of the samples, as well as the analysis of the mineralogical composition, the determination of the microbiological quality and the quantification of the chemical substances present in the clay samples. For clay quality analyses, the density of total and thermotolerant coliforms will be determined, as well as the quantification of Salmonella spp., filamentous fungi and yeasts. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity and antioxidant potential of the collected samples will be evaluated. This research is aligned with 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDGs 3, 6, 12 and 15, and seeks to understand the environmental impact of soil extraction and use, in addition to contributing to healthy and sustainable practices in the use of clays, with the aim of preserving natural resources and stimulating local tourism.
