Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the concentration levels of lead in soil and water in the area of ​​influence of illegal mining, in the Pampas Constancia community. The type of research was applied, descriptive level, non-experimental-cross-sectional design. The population was 28.7 ha. of the area of ​​influence, the sample was 10 points. The sampling was non-probabilistic, the instrument to collect data was through the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results show the concentration of lead in ten points evaluated during the dry season; of the 10 points evaluated, only points P-06 and P-07 exceeded by 73% and 205% respectively, the rest did not exceed. The ECAs of 70 mg/kg PS, similarly occurred in the water of the 10 points evaluated, exceeded the ECAs in P-06 and P-07 by 99% and 133% respectively and in the rest did not exceed the ECAs of 0.05 mg/l, for irrigation water and animal drinking. The points that exceeded both in soil and water are located within the illegal mining operation. It is concluded that the metal, Lead does not exceed the standards in both soil and water.
