Arsénico y otros elementos traza en agua en la cuenca del Río Quinto, Villa Mercedes, San Luis

Abstract

[ES] Se ha estudiado el origen y los procesos implicados en la migración de arsénico y otros elementos trazas potencialmente tóxicos en un área de la parte alta de la cuenca del Río Quinto al sur de Villa Mercedes en la Provincia de San Luis (Argentina). Se muestrearon perforaciones someras del acuífero libre en la planicie aluvial del Río Quinto, así como aguas superficiales de este río. Se detemúnaron in situ temperatura, pH y conductancia eléctrica específica (CEE) y en laboratorio las concentraciones de iones mayoritarios y elementos trazas mediante espectrometría de masas y espectrometría de emisión óptica con fuentes de plasma acoplado por inducción. Entre las aguas superficiales domina la composición sulfatado-clorurado sódica y en las subterráneas las sulfatadas sódicas. El pH es alcalino (7,15 a 7,91) en todas y la CEE es mayor en lassubterráneas (media, 1760 μS/cm) que en las superficiales (media, 1102 μS/cm). La elevada concentración de sulfato en las aguas subterráneas está vinculada con la ocurrencia de evaporitas cretácicas. Las altas concentraciones de B, Se, As, U, V y Zn parecen estar relacionadas con los loess pampeanos con alto contenido de material de origen volcánico. También se han detectado probables indicios de contaminación industrial y agropecuaria.

[EN] The origin and mobility of the potentially toxic trace elements (e.g., arsenic) in groundwater and surface water has been investigated in an area at the south of Villa Mercedes (San Luis Province, Argentina), in the upper part of the Quinto River watershed. Shallow groundwater was sampled in the alluvial plane of Quinto River; also surface water of this river was collected. Temperature, pH, and specific conductivity (SC) were determined in situ. In the laboratory, major ions and trace elements were determined by ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The sulphate-chloride-sodium compositions dominate in the surface waters, while the groundwater is mainly of sulphate-sodium composition. The pH is always slightly alkaline (7,15 a 7,91) and the SC is larger in groundwater (mean, 1760 μS/cm) than in surface water (1102 μS/cm). The high contents of sulphate are related to Cretaceous saline sediments. The high concentrations of B, Se, As, U, V and Zn seem to be related to Pampean loess with high contents of volcanic ash. There are probably also industrial and farming influences of contamination on the studied waters.
