Presencia de plaguicidas e hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (HAPs), en aguas residuales en zonas rurales: revisión y métodos analíticos
Keywords:
lakes, pollutants, toxicity, diseaseAbstract
This document review the state of knowledge (1990-2025) on persistent organic pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides, in wastewater and rural areas. These contaminants are prevalent in agricultural environments due to fuel and agrochemical use for pest control. The review covers analytical methods, detected compounds, and health risk. Although methodological diversity generates variability in reported concentrations, these molecules are invariably toxic to living organisms. Scientific evidence documents their harmful effects and presence in water, correlated with rural technological development.
