Human Risk from Exposure to Heavy Metals and Arsenic in Water from Rivers with Mining Influence in the Central Andes of Peru
TL;DR: In this paper, the risk to humans from exposure to heavy metals and arsenic in water from rivers subject to mining influence in the Central Andes of Peru was assessed using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially toxic metals and metalloids in surface water intended for human consumption and other uses in the Mantaro River watershed, Peru
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of heavy metals and arsenic in the surface water intended for human consumption and other uses in the Mantaro River basin was analyzed using multivariate methods and correlation analysis revealed positive and significant correlations (P < 0.05).
Journal ArticleDOI

Edith Orellana,María Carolina Bastos,Walter Cuadrado,Rosa Zárate,Vicky Sarapura,Luz Yallico,Fiorella Tabra,Diana Bao +7 more
TL;DR: The residents in the four high Andean localities would be exposed to carcinogenic adverse health effects associated with the intake of native potatoes and it is important to monitor the concentration of As and other heavy metals in the Andean soils and crops in order to implement a soil and crop management program to ensure food quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human risk associated with the ingestion of artichokes grown in soils irrigated with water contaminated by potentially toxic elements, Junin, Peru.
TL;DR: The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk of Pb and As indicated that the ingestion of artichokes grown in soils irrigated with PTE contaminated water does not represent a health risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity of Absorption and Removal of Heavy Metals from Scirpus californicus and Its Potential Use in the Remediation of Polluted Aquatic Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the absorption and removal capacity of Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn from Scirpus californicus for potential use in the remediation of polluted aquatic environments.
