- Monitoring of pesticides residues in northwestern Mexico rivers José Belisario Leyva Morales José Benigno Valdez Torres Pedro de Jesús Bastidas Bastidas Miguel Ángel Angulo Escalante Juan Ignacio Sarmiento Sánchez Alma Lorena Barraza Lobo Claudia Olmeda Rubio Cristóbal Chaidez Quiroz Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) water Agriculture Culiacan Valley chemical contamination In Mexico, use of river water for households, agriculture and industry has adversely af- fected aquatic environment through chemical and microbial contamination. The aim of this study was to determine pesticide residues levels in water of rivers from central Sinaloa State, Northwestern Mexico. In samples obtained from July 2008 to June 2009 pesticides residues detected were lindane, heptachlor, endosulfan, dicloro difenil tricloroetano (DDT), diazinon, chlorpyrifos, permethrin, methyl parathion, cyromazine, ethion, carbofenothion, lambda cy - halotrine, pyrimicarb, malathion and aldrin. None exceeded water quality ecological criteria or those established by US Environmental Protection Agency. Comparatively low concentra- tions and frequencies suggest that pesticide contamination derived from runoffs toward river from contaminated soil particles and not from use of pesticides in intensive agriculture of region. 2017 artículo científico 0188-6266 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=41650152005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=416 Acta Universitaria application/pdf Universidad de Guanajuato Acta Universitaria (México) Num.1 Vol.27
