The agriculture has been allowed in several zones of the ABRAE, such as Hoyo de la Cumbre. The objective was to identify the chemical water and  soil  sources  of  pollution  due  to  agriculture  practices.  The  research had a qualitative approach, being as well as a field study, descriptive and interpretative. The field techniques involved dialogues with workers in order to explore their agricultural practices, in relation to plants, equipments and employed chemicals. The field survey showed the use of 23 agro toxics in 2010 and 36 in 2012. The workers showed a low risk perception on the produced damage due to agro toxics. In relation to Waichman (2007) model, the toxicity and exposure to agro chemicals suggests an interval of medium to high and the risk levels from medium to very high. The environmental impact generated should alert both, farmers and consumers, for the effects on health and environmental quality.
