| Abstract: | 2 were sampled in order to verify the impact of these problems on groundwater. All samples were analyzed for major ions, and
about 30 of them for fecal coliforms and heavy metals. Nineteen samples were selected for pesticide analyses. The average
nitrate content was 80 mg/liter, eight times the regional background value. Fecal coliforms were detected in 60% of the analyzed
samples. Zinc content and a high Cl−/HCO3
− ratio were observed in the surroundings of the solid waste disposal area. Moreover, lindane and heptachlor pesticides were
detected in ten samples. |
