Avaliação da contaminação por pesticidas organoclorados em recursos hídricos do estado de Goiás. Revista Brasileira de Recursos Hídricos, Porto Alegre, v. 15, n. 1, p. 67-74, jan./mar. 2010.2318-0331http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/14235Organochlorine pesticides are persistent and bioaccumulated compounds in the environment. These substances have various impacts on human health and wildlife. Therefore they require environmental monitoring. In this work the levels of organochlorine pesticides were determined in rivers in the state of Goiás, in central Brazil. Some preserved areas of the Cerrado ecosystem and major rivers were observed. High levels of organochlorine pesticides in the water resources were found in all regions of Goiás state due to environmental degradation and intense agricultural activity.porAcesso AbertoPesticidas organocloradosRecursos hídricosMonitoramento ambientalOrganochlorine pesticidesWaterEnvironmental monitoringArtigo
