Abstract

Mining generates large volumes of waste, which, if not regulated, can release toxic metals, causing widespread environmental contamination. This study focused on heavy metal contamination in sediments and amphibians within a mining area at Charcas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The results revealed that the Lithobates berlandieri individuals inhabiting an area polluted with industrial waste, high levels of heavy metals and metalloids (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg and Pb) were found in sediments and tissues compared to samples from a reference site. Furthermore, the levels of all metals and metalloids in these frogs were higher in the kidney, liver, and skin. Additionally, it can contribute to the proposed use of non-lethal biomarkers (e.g. skin) for medium and long-term monitoring and regulation at these sites.

墨西哥圣路易斯波托西查卡斯矿区附近豹蛙（Lithobates berlanddieri）不同组织中潜在有毒元素（pet）的原位评估

采矿产生大量废物，如果不加以管制，可能会释放有毒金属，造成广泛的环境污染。本研究的重点是墨西哥圣路易斯波托西查尔卡斯矿区沉积物和两栖动物中的重金属污染。结果表明，与参考地点的样品相比，居住在工业废物污染地区的贝氏石贝个体在沉积物和组织中发现了高水平的重金属和类金属（As, Cd, Cr, Cu， Hg和Pb）。此外，这些青蛙的肾脏、肝脏和皮肤中所有金属和类金属的含量都较高。此外，它还有助于建议在这些部位使用非致死生物标志物（例如皮肤）进行中长期监测和调节。
