Microbial and potentially toxic elements risk assessment in high Andean river water based on Monte Carlo simulation, Peru

Abstract The study evaluated microbial and Potentially Toxic Elements—PTEs risks in high Andean river water in Peru using Monte Carlo simulation. A total of 144 water samples were collected from four rivers and evaluated for physicochemical parameters, PTEs and bacterial pathogens. The microbial ris...
