- Abstract
Background: In order to increase the performance of agriculture, pesticides are applied at different stages of cultivation to provide protection against pests. However, its use can generate waste pose a risk to the environment and human health. Carbamates are used in our pest control, they are a systemic insecticide, which means that the plant is absorbed by the roots and from there distributes to other organs; in recent years they have become very important, because of their broad spectrum of activity and low mammalian toxicity, but since they are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are considered toxic to the environment and to humans. The detection of residues in food has aroused great public concern that the carbamates are used in agriculture on a large number of crops especially in the peach. The contamination of food and the environment by pesticides has become of great interest because of the potential adverse effects of prolonged exposure to these compounds. Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify soils peach crop and the fruit a toxic pesticide as carbofuran belonging to the family of carbamates, in order to ensure food security of a fruit widely consumed in the Pamplona-province of Colombia. Methods: Carbofuran studied in soil and crop fruit peach was extracted ultrasound dichloromethane as solvent. Carbofuran identification was performed by gas chromatography using an electron detector microcapture (ÁECD). Results: The presence of carbofuran one of the most toxic carbamate pesticide was found on the floor of peach crop, but the fruit (peach) the presence of carbofurano was not found. Conclusions: When not detected the presence of carbofuran in the fruit of peach, ensures that the fruit does not absorb this toxic and thus guarantee their food security.
