Pollution and ecological risk of the potentially toxic elements (arsenic, lead, and cadmium) in acid mine drainage-impacted waters of Lake Uru Uru and tributaries, a Ramsar site, Bolivia
Acid mine drainage (AMD), owing to its high content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), impacts ecosystem health through the contamination of tributary rivers. This study evaluates the spatial and temporal distribution of arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) in the surface waters and AMD of the Lake Uru Uru wate...
