Análisis del efecto toxicológico que provoca el consumo humano de agua no potable, mediante la determinación de cloro libre residual en aguas tratadas de las parroquias rurales del cantón Cuenca

Abstract

Because most rural parishes of the canton Cuenca, do not have potable water service, is a proposed project to assess the toxicological and environmental effects that the consumption of this water causes in the population that consumes, by Qualitative and quantitative determination of residual free chlorine, to have an informative support and an indicator to monitor water quality. As a baseline the results of the Dirección Provincial de Salud del Azuay be taken, and their project "Agua Segura", which compiled data from chemical and microbiological fitness of treated water in the province, whose data, mostly demonstrated the absence free residual chlorine in samples taken. According to the report, over 90% of water samples taken, no free chlorine residual was found data that make the water they consume these populations in potential toxicological risk of daily consumption Furthermore, the data of the Dirección Provincial de Salud del Azuay, taken from the Integrated Epidemiological Surveillance System in its report of Immune Preventable Diseases in order to relate, analyze and evaluate the most prevalent diseases in the Canton Cuenca was collected given by Treated Water consumption unfit for human consumption. This investigation is raised execute in rural parishes in our county and its communities. Besides population density data from each of the parishes, data was obtained and published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos.
