The objective of this study was to evaluate water contamination caused by chemicals used in rice irrigated cultivation of a small part of the Environmental Protection Area of the Islands and Floodplains of the Paraná River, specifically the portion covered by municipality Querência do Norte. This region is characterized by great natural wealth, as well the need for agricultural production. Four sections were made of water samples, two in summer and two in winter. These samples were at pre-established in rivers and drainage ducts that surround the area under cultivation, and the Ivaí River receiving water from these locations, using containers of 5 L. To determine the concentration of herbicides, was used an aliquot of 250 mL of each sample, with a solution of hexane/dichloromethane, concentration of the extract and measure the volume of acetonitrile. The measurement was performed by high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry sequence. The interpretation of obtained results demonstrated which presence of organophosphorus, methylcarbamates, chloroacetamides, triazoles, pyrethroids, triazines, pyrazoles and acetamides. The compound carbofuran is more abundant in the study area whereas the Atrazine and other compounds are not recommended for irrigated rice was founded in close regions to this area.
