Abstract
En la actualidad, el rápido desarrollo genera contaminantes que dañan gravemente el ecosistema fluvial. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las características físico-químicas de las aguas superficiales en dos sectores del río Ramis en Perú durante la estación de estiaje. Se emplearon diversas técnicas, incluyendo ICP-OES para medir las concentraciones de Cu, Pb, Cr y Hg, así como un equipo multiparámetro para medir parámetros físicos como temperatura, conductividad eléctrica, nivel de pH, turbidez, sólidos disueltos totales, demanda bioquímica y química de oxígeno. Los resultados revelaron que la concentración de Cu (0.0356 mg/l), excedió los límites permisibles establecidos por la normativa peruana; las concentraciones de Pb (0.0001 mg/l), Cr (0.0064 mg/l) y Hg (0.0004 mg/l) se mantuvieron por debajo de los límites permitidos para dichas aguas. La contaminación del río Ramis es un problema multifacético que requiere una acción urgente y coordinada por parte de las autoridades gubernamentales, las empresas mineras y las comunidades locales para mitigar sus impactos y restaurar la salud del ecosistema fluvial.
Currently, rapid development generates pollutants that seriously damage the river ecosystem. This research aimed to determine the physical-chemical characteristics of surface waters in two sectors of the Ramis River in Peru during the dry season. Various techniques were used, including ICP-OES to measure the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Cr and Hg, as well as a multiparameter device to measure physical parameters such as temperature, electrical conductivity, pH level, turbidity, total dissolved solids, biochemical demand and oxygen chemistry. The results revealed that the concentration of Cu (0.0356 mg/l) exceeded the permissible limits established by Peruvian regulations; The concentrations of Pb (0.0001 mg/l), Cr (0.0064 mg/l) and Hg (0.0004 mg/l) remained below the limits allowed for these waters. Pollution of the Ramis River is a multifaceted problem that requires urgent and coordinated action by government authorities, mining companies and local communities to mitigate its impacts and restore the health of the river ecosystem.
