Abstract:The aim of this study was to characterize an aquatic system of Santa Fe province (Argentina) receiving wastewater from agro‐industrial activities (mainly dairy) by in situ assessment (fauna mortality, physicochemical, microbiological, and pesticide residues measurement), and ecotoxicity bioassays on amphibian tadpoles. Water and sediment samples were obtained from the Los Troncos Stream (LTS), previous to the confluence with the “San Carlos” drainage channel (SCC), and from the SCC. Biological parameters (mort… Show more
