El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la contaminación con nitritos, nitratos y bacterias coliformes en muestras de agua subterránea en el área rural del Departamento de Caaguazú mediante la aplicación de análisis de componentes principales. La concentración de nitritos y nitratos se determinó por destilación con arrastre de vapor y el número de bacterias fue determinado mediante de la técnica del número más probable en el caldo de Mc Conkey. Ningún pozo examinado presentó concentraciones de nitratos que excedieron al valor crítico de 10mg % de agua establecido por Organizaciones Internacionales para el consumo humano. Las concentraciones altas de nitratos se registraron en pozos ubicados en áreas que tuvieron un uso agrícola intensivo, con aplicación de fertilizantes a largo plazo. Con respecto a la presencia de bacterias coliformes, 23 de las muestras analizadas presentaron igual o menos de 3 NMP de bacterias coliformes por 100 mL de agua, que es uno de los criterios establecidos para aguas de consumo humano por el ministerio de Salud Pública y Bienestar Social, sugiriendo un alto riesgo sanitario. Se deberían establecer mejores prácticas de manejo para maximizar la producción de los cultivos, al mismo tiempo que se minimiza el riesgo de contaminación ambiental.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The adverse effect of organic waste on the quality of groundwater can be a serious problem for human health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contamination with nitrites, nitrates and coliform bacteria in groundwater samples in the rural area of the Department of Caaguazú. The concentration of nitrites and nitrates was determined by steam distillation and the number of bacteria was determined by the most probable number technique in the McConkey broth. No well examined had nitrate concentrations that exceeded the critical value of 10mg% of water established by International Organizations for human consumption. High concentrations of nitrates were recorded in wells located in areas that had intensive agricultural use, with long-term fertilizer application. With regard to the presence of coliform bacteria, 23 of the samples analyzed had equal or less than 3 MPN of coliform bacteria per 100 mL of water, which is one of the criteria established for water for human consumption by the Ministry of Public Health and Welfare Social, suggesting a high sanitary risk. Better management practices should be established to maximize crop yields, while minimizing the risk of environmental contamination.]]></p></abstract>
