PESTICIDES USE IN TWO AGRICULTURAL ZONES OF MÉXICO AND EVALUATION OF WATER AND SEDIMENTS POLLUTIONUSO DE PLAGUICIDAS EN DOS ZONAS AGRÍCOLAS DE MÉXICO Y EVALUACIÓN DE LA CONTAMINACIÓN DE AGUA Y SEDIMENTOSHERNÁNDEZ-ANTONIO, ArturoM. HANSEN, Annecuenca hidrológicaCOPatrazina y desetilatrazinaDDD y DDEThis study presents the inventory of pesticides and an assessment of water and sediments pollution in two agricultural areas of Mexico. Triazinic, fenoxychlorinated, and organochlorine pesticides were analyzed, including six persistent organic pollutants (POP). Although the use of atrazine is restricted and prohibited in various parts of the World, this herbicide is still being used in Mexico without restriction and our results show that this herbicide affects water quality in one of the agricultural areas. The concentrations of atrazine and one of its metabolites (desethylatrazine) in water samples exceeded the limit of 2 µg L-1 proposed by the World Health Organization for this herbicide in drinking water (WHO 2008) and the one of the European Community has satted at 0.1 µg L-1 for drinking water (European Parliament 1998). The metabolites of the pesticide DDT (DDD and DDE) exceeded the interim sediment quality guideline (ISQG) for freshwater sediments established by the Canadian Council of Environmental Ministers although concentrations do not exceed the probable effect level (PEL) (CCME 2003). Although the use of DDT in agriculture has been banned in Mexico (DOF 1991), the results show that the metabolites of this pesticide continue to appear in environmental samples due to its long half-life. Surveillance monitoring is proposed for the pesticides found in levels higher than established in limits and criteria.En este estudio se presenta el inventario de plaguicidas y una evaluación de la contaminación de agua y sedimentos en dos zonas agrícolas de México. Se analizaron plaguicidas triazínicos, fenoxiclorados y organoclorados, incluyendo seis contaminantes orgánicos persistentes (COP). Aunque el uso de atrazina ha sido prohibido y restringido en varias partes del mundo, en México este herbicida se sigue usando sin restricción alguna, los resultados obtenidos demuestran que afecta a la calidad del agua en una de las zonas agrícolas. Las concentraciones de atrazina y de su metabolito (desetilatrazina) en muestras de agua, rebasaron el límite para agua de consumo humano de 2 µg L–1 propuesto por la Organización Mundial para la Salud (WHO 2008) y el de la Comunidad Europea que establece un límite de 0.1 µg L–1 (European Parliament 1998). Los metabolitos del plaguicida DDT (DDD y DDE), excedieron el límite basal para calidad de sedimentos (ISQG por sus siglas en inglés) del criterio del Consejo de Ministros del Ambiente de Canadá para sedimentos en cuerpos de agua dulce, aunque no rebasan el límite de probable efecto (PEL por sus siglas en inglés) (CCME 2003). Aunque se restringió el uso de DDT en la agricultura en México (DOF 1991), los resultados muestran que los metabolitos de este plaguicida se continúan encontrando en muestras ambientales debido a su larga vida media. Se plantea la necesidad de vigilar mediante monitoreos en los cuerpos de agua, los plaguicidas encontrados en este estudio en concentraciones que exceden los criterios y límites establecidos.Instituto de Ciencias de la Atmósfera, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2011-04-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionARTapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/25011Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2011); 115-127Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2011); 115-1270188-4999reponame:Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/rica/index.php/rica/article/view/25011/23522Derechos de autor 2017 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambientalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/250112024-08-16T19:00:29Z |
