Abstract

The use of pesticides in agriculture has been considered worldwide as one of the most important means of increasing agricultural production; however, their use has been accompanied by side effects that pose a danger to humans and biota. The objective of this research was to develop a miniaturized method for determining organochlorine compounds in surface water samples from the state of Colima and the municipality of Salamanca, Guanajuato. A method was developed, validated, and applied for the determination of aldrin, endrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, lindane, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane in surface water samples, using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Samples were obtained from two Mexican states. In the state of Colima, two sampling events were conducted, in October 2012 and March 2013, during the dry and rainy seasons, at 25 sites in the state's main bodies of water and runoff. In the municipality of Salamanca, Guanajuato, four samples were taken in a single sampling event in October 2012 from the Lerma River as it passes through the city of Salamanca. The results showed that the developed and validated method was accurate, precise, sensitive, and low-cost for quantifying lindane, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin, which are of environmental concern due to their toxicity. Furthermore, in the samples from the state of Colima, all pesticides were found below the detection limit; however, the presence of triclosan, chlorophenylpyrrolidine, chlorophenylmethanone, and heptachlor epoxide was detected. Meanwhile, the concentration of the pesticides aldrin, lindane, heptachlor and dieldrin was detected in the samples from the Lerma River.
