The objective of the research was to evaluate the environmental impact of hazardous waste generated in automotive mechanics workshops of the “Señor de Qoyllority” association located in the District of Santiago, Cusco. The methodology applied was quantitative approach, causal correlational level and non-experimental design. Survey techniques, laboratory analysis and observation were used using instruments such as the conesa matrix, cause - effect and leopold, in which the impact on the soil and the impact on people's health was studied, to determine the impact on the soil, samples were taken from 4 points selected according to the soil sampling guide of the Ministry of the Environment, 4 repetitions were carried out for each point, two in dry seasons and two in flood seasons. To determine the impact on people's health, the survey was used as a technique to find out the effects of the thinner on health. The results of the evaluation of the matrices indicate that the generation of hazardous waste in automotive mechanics workshops has a highly significant environmental impact. These wastes, such as used oil, contain heavy metals that exceed established soil quality standards. Lead levels at 2 sampling points exceeded the ECA’s with average values of 156.3 mg/Kg at point 1 and 156.7 mg/Kg at point 4; regarding the total chromium levels in point 1 with an average value of 413 mg/kg. In relation to the main physical and chemical properties to determine the quality of the soil such as pH (7.7), electrical conductivity (4.9 dS/m) , organic matter (1%), humidity (9.1%) and hardness (336 PSI); These results indicate low soil quality at the 4 sampling points. Regarding the health effects caused by the thinner, the majority of workers experienced symptoms such as dizziness, eye, nose and throat irritation, drowsiness, difficulty breathing, weakness, loss of balance, impaired vision, irritation, loss of appetite and peeling of the skin after being exposed to the diluent.
