The estuarine region of the Capibaribe River has changed its physical and chemical environment due to the intensification of the anthropic actions that interfere with the estuarine dynamics, causing both the destruction in the landscape, as well as the addition of compounds and toxic elements that harm the local biota. Due to the rapid degradation of the environmental quality of this estuary, this work presents a review of the evolution of concentrations of heavy metals in sediments, based on data available in the literature in the last 20 years. The research carried out indicates that the estuarine region is contaminated by heavy metals (Al, Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mg, Ni, Pb, Zn). Particularly the metals Ag, Cu, Pb, and Zn have concentrations above the safety limits established by international agencies and bring adverse effects to the local biota. The sediments located near the center of Recife are the most impacted for the region of the Capibaribe River estuary. Thus, there is an urgent need for more research on the origin of these metals and actions that seek to remedy the contaminated environment and prevent further impacts to the ecosystem represented by the Capibaribe River estuary.
