Description
Summary:	Agrochemicals have become an integral part of today's agriculture and play an important role in increasing agricultural productivity. However, the indiscriminate and extensive use of these represents one of the main environmental and public health problems throughout the world. Once released into the environment, agrochemicals can contaminate rivers, the water table, air, soil and food. Thus, the analysis of environmental risks due to the inadequate use and handling of agrochemicals in crops and their management has become more relevant in recent years. Based on the above, the objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental risks related to the use and handling of agrochemicals, in the sector "playa zona baja", in the municipality of Salamina, Magdalena. Additionally, to formulate an action plan focused on the prevention and mitigation of these risks. For the evaluation of the environmental risks in the area of study, the methodology proposed by the UNE 15:0008 standard was used. The results indicated that the active ingredients mostly used were the pesticides chlorpyrifos (66%), Paraquat (31%) and the granular urea fertilizer (70%); the evaluation of the environmental risk in the Lower Zone Beach classified as moderate or medium the risk in the area, directly involving the water and soil component, the use of PPE and the disposal of agrochemical containers. In the formulation of the action plan, the results of the evaluation were taken into account. It was structured on 4 fundamental programs: training, use of PPE, disposal of agrochemical residues and monitoring of farmers' health.
