“…The purpose was to assess human exposure to mercury due to fish consumption and atmospheric contamination from coal-burning power plant and copper smelter. Specifically, the sites Puchuncaví, La Greda and Los Maitenes are located close to copper smelter and coal-burning power plant and these places are strongly impacted by these activities (Parra et al, 2014). In contrary, Quintay is a typical fishing cove, without reported contribution of industrial contamination.…”

“…Soil pollution by heavy metals is a global environmental issue and a consequence of the escalation of mining and mineral processing, whose spread of metal residues contaminated large areas in Chile (Baize 2009, Parra et al 2014. Metals accumulate in plant organs and tissues causing both physiological and biochemical changes, growth reduction and yield loss, particularly after persistent exposure (Wannaz et al 2006, Mazen et al 2010).…”

“…A litologia e os processos de formação do solo estão interligados com os teores de elementos-traços no solo, sendo comum comparar a composição química do solo com o material de origem na avaliação de um solo contaminado (Parra et al, 2014). Para monitorar a contaminação do solo por um elemento, primeiramente, é necessário determinar a concentração do mesmo no solo em seu estado natural (Tarvainen et al, 2013) e, assim, obter os VRQ (Valor de Referência de Qualidade) dos solos (Biondi et al, 2011;Mendoza-Grimon et al, 2014).…”
