Abstract

International audience; Latin America, like other areas in the world, is faced with the problem of high arsenic (As) background in surface and groundwater, with impacts on human health. We studied As biogeochemical cycling by periphyton in Lake titicaca and the mine-impacted Lake Uru Uru. As concentration was measured in water, sediment, totora plants (Schoenoplectus californicus) and periphyton growing on stems, and As speciation was determined by X-ray absorption spectroscopy in bulk and eDtA-extracted periphyton. Dissolved arsenic was between 5.0 and 15 μg L −1 in Lake Titicaca and reached 78.5 μg L −1 in Lake Uru Uru. As accumulation in periphyton was highly variable. We report the highest As bioaccumulation factors ever measured (BAFs periphyton up to 245,000) in one zone of Lake Titicaca, with As present as As(V) and monomethyl-As (MMA(V)). Non-accumulating periphyton found in the other sites presented BAFs periphyton between 1281 and 11,962, with As present as As(III), As(V) and arsenosugars. DNA analysis evidenced several taxa possibly related to this phenomenon. Further screening of bacterial and algal isolates would be necessary to identify the organism(s) responsible for As hyperaccumulation. Impacts on the ecosystem and human health appear limited, but such organisms or consortia would be of great interest for the treatment of As contaminated water. The arsenic (As) geogenic background of surface and groundwater is naturally high in South America, predominantly originating from young volcanic rocks and their weathering products in arid oxidizing conditions 1-4. As a result, about 4.5 million people in South America are chronically exposed to high levels of As (>50 µg L −1) 5 , and certain Andean populations have developed a unique capacity to adapt to As toxicity 6,7. Concerning Andean lakes, extreme As concentrations are observed in hypersaline lakes colonized by extremophile bacterial communities 8 , and lower but still significant concentrations are observed in other, less saline lakes, which are major freshwater resources 5. In many areas of the Altiplano, mining and smelting activities add to natural rock weathering processes in the As budget 9. The biogeochemical cycling of As has been studied in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and in hypersaline environments, but its trophic transfer and speciation in living organisms mainly concerns the marine environment and As contaminated freshwater systems 10. In the high altitude lakes of the Andean Altiplano (above 3500 m asl), shallow zones (

Abstract

Spatial patterns, cluster or dispersion trends are statistically different from random patterns of trace elements (TEs), which are essential to recognize, e.g., how they are distributed and change their behavior in different environmental processes and/or in the polluted/contaminated areas caused by urban and industrial pollutant located in upstream basins and/or by different natural geological conditions. The present study focused on a statistical approach to obtain the spatial variability of TEs (As, B and Sb) in shallow groundwater (GW) in a high-altitude arid region (Lower Katari Basin, Bolivian Altiplano), using multivariate analysis (PCA and HCA), geochemical modeling (PHREEQC, MINTEQ) and spatial analyses (Moran's 1 and LISA), considering the community supply wells. The results indicate that despite of the outliers there is a good autocorrelation in all cases, since Moran's I values are positive. The global spatial dependence analysis indicated a positive and statistically significant spatial autocorrelation (SA) for all cases and TEs are not randomly distributed at 99% confidence level. The results of hydrochemical modeling suggested the precipitation and stability of Fe (III) phases such as goethite. The re-adsorption of As and Sb on the mineral surface in the aquifer could be limiting the concentrations of both metalloids in southern regions. Spatial autocorrelation was positive (High-High) in northwestern (arsenic), southeastern (boron) and northeastern (antimony) region. The results reflected that the As and Sb are the main pollutants linked to the natural geological conditions, but B is a main pollutant due to the anthropogenic activities. Furthermore, >50% shallow groundwater exceeded the WHO limit and NB-512 guideline values for Sb (87%), B (56%) and As (50%); therefore the spatial distribution and concentrations of these TEs in GW raise a significant concern about drinking water quality in the study area.
