RESUMEN

Water is fundamental to the existence of life since it is essential to a series of activities, such as agriculture, power generation, and public and industrial supplies. The residual water generated by these activities is released into the environment, reaches the water systems, and becomes a potential risk to nontarget organisms. This paper reports the development and validation of a quantitative method, based on solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, for the simultaneous analysis of 18 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and 33 pesticides in surface and drinking waters. The accuracy of the method was determined by calculating the recoveries, which ranged from 70 to 120 % for most pesticides and PPCPs, whereas limits of quantification ranged from 0.8 to 40 ng/L. After the validation step, the method was applied to drinking and surface waters. Pesticides and PPCPs were found in concentrations lower than 135.5 ng/L. The evaluation of different water sources with regard to contamination by pesticides and PPCPs has been quite poor in southern Brazil.

RESUMEN

A produção agrícola geralmente está associada ao uso de agrotóxicos. Suas características físico-químicas, condições do solo e do ambiente determinam seu destino, assim como o seu potencial de contaminação dos mananciais hídricos. Com o intuito de prever a contaminação do ambiente por agrotóxicos, critérios e modelos matemáticos são utilizados para avaliar o risco de contaminação das águas subterrâneas e superficiais. Diante do exposto, este trabalho teve por objetivo estimar a probabilidade de contaminação de águas subterrâneas e superficiais por agrotóxicos, baseado nas suas características físico-químicas, com auxílio de modelos e parâmetros matemáticos preexistentes. Para análise do risco de contaminação de águas superficiais, foi utilizado o método de Goss, o qual é dividido em dois grupos: potencial de transporte de agrotóxicos dissolvidos em água e adsorvido ao sedimento. Os critérios utilizados para avaliar o potencial de lixiviação foram os sugeridos pela Agência de Proteção Ambiental dos EUA e pelo Índice de GUS. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho permitem concluir que o uso de modelos de predição do comportamento de agrotóxicos é útil para se obter uma estimativa do risco de contaminação ambiental, pois alguns resultados de monitoramentos confirmam a tendência do comportamento de certos agrotóxicos no ambiente.


Agricultural production is generally associated with the use of pesticides, their physicochemical characteristics, soil conditions and the environment will determine their fate, as well as the potential for contamination of water bodies. In order to predict environmental contamination by pesticides, parameters and mathematical models are utilized to assess the risk of contamination of groundwater and surface water. For this reason, the objective of this study was estimate the probability of contamination of groundwater and surface waters by pesticides based on their physicochemical characteristics with the aid of preexisting mathematical models and parameters. To analyze the risk of surface water contamination, the Goss method was used, which as composed by two groups: pesticide potential transport dissolved in water and adsorbed to the sediment. The parameter used to evaluate the leaching potential were those suggested by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the GUS Index. The results obtained allow to conclude that the use of models to predict the behavior of pesticides is useful to obtain an estimate of the risk of environmental contamination, as some monitoring results confirm the tendency of the behavior of certain products into the environment.
