Currently, several researchers have been warning about problems caused by using pesticides in Brazil and in the World. Nevertheless, more and more of these compounds are used to control the integrity of crops. It is the case of most of the cities in Southwestern region of Paraná, a region that is mainly agricultural. The present study monitors 29 pesticides in water resources from five cities of the region. The method employed for determination was previously published, which is routinely applied at the laboratory. Eight compounds were quantified in the evaluated waters: atrazine, epoxyconazole, fipronil, iprodione, malathion, penoxsulam, simazine and tebuconazole, and the concentrations were 0.005 to 1.0 µg L -1 .The evaluation of contamination of the water sources chosen by pesticides is a pioneer study, since there is no monitoring data available on the region. Keywords: Contaminants; surface water; monitoring. ResumoAtualmente, diversos pesquisadores vêm alertando sobre os problemas causados pelo uso de agrotóxicos no Brasil e no mundo. Apesar disso, cada vez mais estes compostos são utilizados para o controle da integridade das plantações. É o caso da maioria dos municípios do sudoeste do Paraná, pois essa região é essencialmente agrícola. Neste trabalho foram monitorados 29 agrotóxicos em amostras de águas de mananciais de cinco municípios da região. O método utilizado foi baseado em um método já publicado, o qual é aplicado rotineiramente no laboratório. Foram quantificados oito compostos nas águas avaliadas, sendo eles atrazina, epoxiconazol, fipronil, iprodiona, malationa, penoxsulam, simazina e tebuconazol, com concentrações que variaram de 0,005 a 1,0 µg L -1 . A avaliação da contaminação por agrotóxicos nos mananciais escolhidos é um trabalho pioneiro, visto que não há na região dados de monitoramentos disponíveis até o presente momento.
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.
