| Sumario: | Groundwater p~llution by soluble chromium species was surveyed throughout aone-year, monthly analysis of 38 welis at the "Municipio de Tultitlán", north ofMexico City. The chosen weils were located in the vicinity of the industrial disposalsite of the former plant "Cromatos de México, S.A.", where 75,000 tons of wastematerial were inadequately confined. The study showed a considerable contaminationof the weils closest to the site, due to leaching of chromate salts found in thedisposed wastes. The high amount of water consumption by the surrounding industries,is preventing chromiun dispersion. |
