The project undertaken identified the alteration to the land that explosives can cause after carrying out controlled detonations with pentolite, pentrite and C4 in identified lands in the municipality of San Luis, Tolima. The above serves as the basis for proposing a procedure that supports the fight against environmental pollution. This was carried out using a structured methodological design with a descriptive-experimental type of study which followed a mixed approach. The results obtained were supported by field work that followed the protocols proposed by the Agustín Codazzi Geographical Institute (IGAC), as well as the standard laboratory methods proposed by the Technology Centre for Environment and Sustainability from the La Salle University, in order to determine the properties of the land resources, measuring the variations in its components before and after detonations in a controlled manner. The properties measured were: organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, and nitrates. The results obtained in this project helped identify the environmental impact on the land due to the variation of the physicochemical properties in it, such as organic matter and species with nitrogen in the form of nitrates and ammoniacal nitrogen.
