Implication

Monitoring reveals unsafe groundwater levels of arsenic and boron in La Yarada Los Palos, indicating health risks.

Key Points

  • This study aims to quantify arsenic, boron, and salinity levels in groundwater across different sectors in La Yarada Los Palos.
  • Conducted a 12-month monitoring program with monthly well samples.
  • Analyzed groundwater samples using inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
  • Measured total arsenic, boron, lithium, sodium, electrical conductivity, pH, temperature, and total dissolved solids.
  • 33 out of 36 total arsenic means exceeded the WHO drinking water benchmark.
  • Total boron levels were above the FAO guideline for agricultural use.
  • A significant salinity gradient was observed from inland to coastal sectors.
