Este estudo fornece dados sobre a presença dos pesticidas atrazina, clorpirifós, a-endossulfam, β-endossulfam, flutriafol, malatiom e metolacloro em água de áreas urbanas e rurais das cidades de Campo Verde e Lucas do Rio Verde, no estado do Mato Grosso, Brasil. Amostras de água superficial, de chuva e subterrânea foram coletadas nas estações de seca e chuva em 2007 e 2008 nessas importantes áreas produtoras de grãos. Os resultados revelaram maior diversidade de substâncias e frequência de detecção em amostras de água de chuva. Concentrações de atrazina, endossulfam e malatiom foram encontradas acima dos níveis permitidos pela legislação brasileira em algumas amostras de água superficial e subterrânea, e os metabólitos DIA (de-isopropil-atrazina) e endossulfam sulfato foram encontrados em níveis maiores do que os compostos parentais em algumas amostras. Nossos resultados demonstram a vulnerabilidade dos recursos hídricos nessas áreas e apontam para o risco de contaminação de áreas de nascentes de importantes córregos por pesticidas.This study provides data on the presence of the pesticides atrazine, chlorpyrifos, a-endosulfan, β-endosulfan, flutriafol, malathion and metolachlor in water matrices in urban and rural areas of Campo Verde and Lucas do Rio Verde Cities, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Surface, rain, and groundwater samples were collected in the rainy and dry seasons during 2007 and 2008 in these important grain-producing areas. The findings revealed a higher diversity of compounds and frequency of detection in the rain water than in surface and groundwater samples. Concentrations of atrazine, endosulfan and malathion above those permitted by Brazilian regulations were found in some surface and groundwater samples, and the degradation products DIA (deisopropylatrazine) and endosulfan sulfate, rather than their parental compounds, were found at higher levels in some samples. Our findings show the vulnerability of water systems in these areas and point to the risk of pesticide contamination in important headwater streams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
