TLDR
The Papalonal community has been characterized, by its high concentration of cultivated zone in the monoculture modality for the production of corn, peanuts, sorghum and sesame as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Arsenic is a habitual element in the atmosphere, soil, rocks, natural waters and living organisms. Its mobility in the environment is due to both natural processes and human activities. This element is extremely toxic and carcinogenic to humans. The communities of Tecuaname and El Papalonal are located to the east of the Momotombo and El Hoyo volcanic complex, the determination of total arsenic was made to twenty wells (dug and drilled). 100% of the samples analyzed none exceed the guide value for water for human consumption of 10 µg.l-1.
The Papalonal community has been characterized, by its high concentration of cultivated zone in the monoculture modality for the production of corn, peanuts, sorghum and sesame. Most producers use agrochemicals to fertilize and control pests. The use of pyrethroids (cypermethrin) has been inconsistently associated with a series of long-term health effects, including alterations in the nervous system, immune system, skin allergies and dermatitis. The El Papalonal drilled well had a cypermethrin concentration of 785.27 ng.l-1.read more

TL;DR: In the La Fuente community located NE of the Momotombo-El Hoyo volcanic complex and near the Monte Galan volcanic caldera, where 112 families are supplied by groundwater, the total arsenic concentration in water from 30 dug wells, three drilled wells and a spring was determined as discussed by the authors.
