ResumoThe levels of xenobiotic compounds dumped into aquatic environments, increased alarmingly as a result of anthropogenic activity upon the environment. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) represent a risk to human and animal health, having the anthropogenic activities on the ecosystems as their main entryway into the environment. Groundwater from regions close to cities, industries, roads, real estate project sites, mining sites, garbage dumps, and human settlements present many alterations related to the concentrations allowed by law for VOCs and SVOCs. For this deleterious environmental reality, the Iguaçu-Sarapuí river sub-basin, located in the Belford Roxo municipality (RJ) holds a long record of contamination by pesticides coming from the Industrial Complex of Belford Roxo. It was proven that in the year 2007 a leakage of 8 Ton of Metamidophos (IUPAC: O,S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate). The main objective of this work was the surveying of the following chemical variables in groundwater: Dimethylamino-thiophosphate, Dimethylsulfate, Metamidophos, Phosphates, Mercaptans, Disulfides, and Thioethers. Signs of environmental contamination were found, representing one more of the innumerable environmental risks interacting with the environmental passive present in the Iguaçu-Sarapuí rivers basin.
