Presence of Pesticide Residues in Drinking Water

Abstract

This article analyses the 90-day traceability of phosphate ion concentration in swamp water used for human consumption and fish farming in the department of Sucre.  The results obtained were compared with the alert and maximum values indicated in resolution 2115 of 2007 issued by the Ministry of social protection, Ministry of environment, housing and territorial development. According to the values established in Resolution 2115-2007, the phosphorus values found in the form of phosphate in the marsh water intended for human consumption and fish farming activity is above the established levels, presenting a risk to human health, so early warnings and permanent monitoring should be established as indicators of contamination in the marsh.
