Evaluación de la calidad del aire en la zona productora de brócoli, (brassica oleracea), del sector sur-oeste de la parroquia Guaytacama cantón Latacunga, provincia de Cotopaxi, en el periodo 2020.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the air quality in broccoli producing area (Brassica oleracea), located at south-west of Guaytacama parish, Latacunga canton; The research consisted on georeferencing two strategic points to monitor air quality parameters such as: (particulate material 10y 2.5, Carbon monoxide CO, Nitrogen dioxide NO2, Sulfur dioxide SO2, Ozone O3, which causes irremediable damage to the ecosystem in long term, the measurements were made by specialized equipment in the field such as E-BAM and THERMO SCIENTIFIC gas analyzer, after to obtain the analysis of the pollutants emitted by the laboratory “AFH SERVICES CIA LTDA. ENVIRONMENT”, it is proceeded to compare with current regulations TULSMA Book VI Annex 4, the monitoring was carried out within two days. The results obtained from the air quality parameters are, in this case corresponding to Particulate Material .10 a value of 35 μ3⁄ and 15 μ3⁄, was obtained, the regulation establishes a maximum permissible limit of 100 μ3⁄; as regards 2.5, the measurements are 16 μ3⁄ and 14 μ3⁄, compared to 50 μ3⁄; on carbon monoxide (CO) the values are 1304 μ3⁄ and 878 μ3⁄, which is under what is established to be 10000 μ3⁄; in reference to sulfur dioxide (2 ), 26 μ3⁄ and 26 μ3⁄ were obtained, unlike 125 μ3⁄; on nitrogen dioxide (2 ) the measures were19 μ3⁄ and 19 μ3⁄, taying within the allowed limit of 200 μ3⁄ and finally ozone (3), giving the following results 34 μ3⁄ and 46 μ3,⁄ being under the established limit in the regulations 100 μ3⁄, concluding in this way that the study sector is under maximum permissible limits established by current regulations.
