During the second semester of 2007, we realized in the region of the Chocó Biogeográfico colombiano that were allowing collecting primary and secondary information with the intention of establishing the conditions of the quality of the air and water. The results of research compiled in Apartadó, Turbo, Quibdó, Buenaventura, Guapi and Tumaco, can be established as a major water pollutant discharges of domestic water, heavy metals, hydrocarbons and leachate generated by the improper disposal of solid waste. For air quality the main emission sources are mobile where that the largest concentrations of emissions are carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC). The analysis on the incident of diseases associated with the quality waters down and air demonstrates a possible detriment of the health of the settlers owed largely to scanty processes of control, mitigation and compensation in the population centers of study.
