Background: Parabens are chemical compounds used as preservatives, mostly in products such as cosmetics, drugs and foods. This work evaluated physical-chemical parameters, the presence and concentration of four parabens types, in the Itajaí-Mirim river, on the Itajaí city. Method: There were six campaigns for sample collection carried out between May to November 2019, at three specifics location, besides samples from water public supply. The samples were submitted to the Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (LLME) and subsequent high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) analysis. Methylparaben was detected in 100% of river and public water supply samples, shown that its constant presence on environment. The average concentrations of this contaminant ranged from 9.5 μg L-1 to 1167.6 μg L-1. The others three parabens types showed concentrations 10-fold lower than methylparaben.
Conclusion: The presence of parabens in water public supplies are indicates that conventional water treatment is not able to eliminate this class of the contaminant. These results do not evidence the rainfall influence on the presence and concentration of parabens in the river water. The anthropic influence, maybe, the main source of the Itajaí-Mirim river parabens, such as consequence of possible frequent disposal of urban sewage on its waters. Therefore the presence of parabens in a natural watersmay promote negative effects to public health. It is suggest that it be improved the supply water and effluent treatment techniques.
