Heavy Metal Dispersion in a Hydrological Sub-Basin as Consequence of Mining Activity in Taxco, Guerrero (Southern Mexico)

Heavy Metal Dispersion in a Hydrological Sub-Basin as Consequence of Mining Activity in Taxco, Guerrero (Southern Mexico)

The mining industry generates high concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) susceptible to being released into surface and ground water. The objective of this work was to determine the concentration and dispersion of HMs in surface water and ground water in a hydrological sub-basin located in southwest...
