Arsenic toxicity, bioaccumulation and risk assessment: A case study in Tolimique Dam, Aguascalientes, Mexico
We detected arsenic near the Tolimique Dam, an archaeological ecotourism area in Aguascalientes, México. Fortunately, the concentration range of this metalloid (0.001 to 0.003 mg L−1) did not exceed the total arsenic in water allowed by NOM-127-SSA1-1994 (0.025 mg L−1). However, because arsenic is a...

We found 20 species in the Tolimique Dam, including 13 rotifer species, 4 cladocerans species, and one of each of the following species: copepods, oligochaetes, and fish. Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) was performed using the Predicted No-Effect Concentration (PNEC) and the Measured Environmental Concentration (MEC) of arsenic. In conclusion, arsenic produced cellular necrosis in A. hemprichi at a concentration of 5.0 mg L−1 and endocrine disruption in B. calyciflorus at a concentration of 0.05 mg L−1. The detection of arsenic at an average of 2.05 ± 0.30 mg Kg−1 in O. niloticus fish suggests a probable biomagnification of arsenic.
