Abstract | This chapter focuses on characterizing sources of arsenic (As) in the vicinity of Papallacta lake, Ecuador. Some of these sources are geothermal water discharges. Arsenic concentrations in these geothermal waters range from 1090 to 7853 μg/l and temperatures range from 13.8 to 63.0◦C. Arsenic concentrations were determined in water and sediment from the Tambo river, the main tributary of Papallacta lake. Arsenic concentrations are greater than 62 μg/l in water and up to 128 mg/kg in sediments. In comparison, total As concentrations in the shallow lake |
