Contaminación con metales pesados en un suelo de la cuenca del río Reconquista
Abstract
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the level of heavy metals in a suburban soil affected by periodical floodings, in Northern Buenos Aires City. Monthly sampling of top soils between December and April showed contamination with Cd, Pb, and Hg, probably originated from uncontrolled industrial discharges into the river basin without pretreatment of wastes.
