Geohelmintos y parámetros fisicoquímicos del suelo como indicadores de calidad ambiental en el distrito de José Crespo y Castillo, Huánuco

In the investigation, the presence of geohelminths was determined and the environmental quality of the soil was evaluated through physicochemical parameters in the district of José Crespo y Castillo - Huánuco, Peru. Geohelminths were detected and quantified and the modal profiles and physicochemical properties were characterized based on the Soil Taxonomy, and contrast with the quality standard for cadmium (Cd) and determination of the environmental quality index of the soil using the main component analysis. Modal profiles are Fluventic Eutrudepts, Lithic Udorthents, Typic Dystrudepts, Typic Dystrudepts - Lithic Udorthents, Typic Dystrudepts - Typic Endoaquents, Typic Endoaquents, Typic Eutrudepts - Typic Eutrudepts, Typic Udifluvents, and Typic Udorthents; the physicochemical parameters texture, pH, organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, available cadmium, effective cation exchange capacity, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, hydrogen, exchangeable bases and acids and percentage of aluminum saturation, determining that cadmium available is within the environmental quality standards of Peru; and the environmental quality index of the soil is 41.48%, having the qualification of a regular soil of environmental quality. And the contamination by Ascaris lumbricoides was in 25 of the pits (55.56%), present in the 8 types of cataloged soils, followed by the unicinarias represented by Necator americano and Ancylostoma duodenale in 14 pits (31.11%) of pH slightly to medium acid, and Taenias and Capilaria, both at 8.29%; As a public health risk, geohelminths remain in the soil for a long time, regardless of quality and in wide pH ranges, favored by levels of organic substrates derived from anthropogenesis.
