Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the presence of pesticides in potable water for human consumption in the municipalities of the state of Rio de Janeiro, in the period between 2015-2019, using Ordinance PRC MS nº 05/2017 Annex XX. Data regarding the use of pesticides by type of crop and the municipalities where the monitoring of pesticides in water for human consumption, including the analysis results between 2015 and 2019, were extracted from the Drinking Water Quality Surveillance Information System (Sisagua). In twelve samples, the concentration of Aldrin + Dieldrin, Carbofuran, Chlordane, Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT/DDD) + Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), Endosulfan, Metamidophos, Metolachlor, Permethrin, Simazine, and/or Terbufos exceeded the maximum permitted value for each of these pesticides. It was concluded that despite the ordinance to regulate of drinking water standards for human consumption in Brazil, the monitoring in the state of Rio de Janeiro is below the expected concerning pesticides since approximately 73% of the cities do not carry out monitoring or not feed Sisagua’s public database.
