El estudio evaluó el impacto de los tres plaguicidas más utilizados en el cultivo de Allium cepa (cebolla) en el distrito de Lurín, Lima, Perú utilizando Eisenia foetida. Para los plaguicidas zeta-cipermetrina, pendimetalina y profenofos, fueron calculados los valores de dosis letal media (DL50) a 14 días, porcentaje de evasión y actividad alimentaria, y posteriormente la exposición individual del tóxico (TER) y el coeficiente de riesgo (CR) en base a ensayos ecotoxicológicos con E. foetida. Los valores de DL50 a un tiempo de exposición a 14 d para los tres plaguicidas fue: zeta-cipermetrina > profenofos > pendimetalina. Se determinó una relación con la dosis de los plaguicidas cercanos a la DL50 para el porcentaje de evasión y para la actividad alimentaria. El valor TER para los tres plaguicidas fue calculado y resultó sin impacto para E. foetida. Sin embargo, en el valor ...

This article is a bibliographic review of investigations on the toxicity exposure of a diversity of non-target organisms due to different concentrations of pesticides used in crops, but that can somehow impact certain individuals and their environment. The article presents a description of the type and grade of evaluated pesticides and their repercussions on the aquatic and terrestrial environment. Likewise, it includes a comparison of the results obtained by some authors in their experiments. It complements this information with a compilation on the impact caused due to the handling of pesticide containers, including the impact of said residues on public health. The analysis concludes that said synthetic pesticide residues, regardless of their composition, are a latent risk for the environment and public health.
