“…High concentrations of Cu (472 -2415 mg kg -1 ) in tailings and sediments (190 mg kg -1 ) from the Santa Barbara mine zone (Chihuahua) were associated with such elements as As, Sb, and Pb at potentially toxic concentrations (Gutiérrez-Ruiz et al, 2007). A similar association in vertical distributions was found between Cu and PTE in sediments that were influenced by the Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu-Au mining district of Santa María, San Luis Potosí (Central Mexico;Castro-Larragoitia et al, 1997).…”

“…One sample contained more than 5.900 mg/ l. Oxidation of sulWde minerals contained in mine wastes, arsenopyrite oxidation in the aquifer, and natural release of As by dissolution of sulWdes present in the aquifer under high alkalinity and anaerobic conditions may be causing the groundwater arsenic increase (Razo et al 2004). Irrigation with mine water has also contaminated agricultural soils with arsenic and toxic metals (Castro-Larragoitia et al 1997). Children exposed to arsenic and lead in surface soil at Villa de la Paz, showed DNA damage in blood cells (Yáñez et al 2003).…”

“…La peligrosidad de los jales es un eje de importantes investigaciones en México (Castro-Larragoitia et al, 1997;Manz y Castro, 1997;Carrillo y Drever, 1998;Méndez y Armienta, 2003;Talavera-Mendoza et al, 2005;Gutiérrez et al, 2007;, Ramos-Arroyo y Siebe, 2007Romero y Gutiérrez-Ruíz, 2010), contrario al aporte científico existente en Nicaragua. La presente investigación fue realizada bajo los siguientes objetivos: i) Comparar la peligrosidad de los jales El Fraile, El Limón, Los Ángeles y Concha Urrutia, en función de la capacidad de generación de drenaje ácido; y ii) Evaluar el potencial de tres tipos de roca como tratamiento pasivo del drenaje ácido generado en los jales estudiados.…”
