摘要:Arsenic concentration was evaluated in water from thermal springs and groundwater wells at Cuitzeo basin,Michoacán State, Mexico. There were analyzed also the physicochemical parameters and major components. Arsenic wasdetermined by atomic absorption spectrometry within hydride generation. Physicochemical parameters and majorcomponents were analyzed by conventional laboratory methods. Average arsenic concentration values found rangedbetween 0.001 and 3.8 mg/L, indicating levels above Mexican and international recommendations for drinking water use inat least one of the sites. Results of physicochemical characterization revealed that almost all the water samples had goodquality for drinking and domestic purposes, except those with high concentrations of arsenic, which presumably has ageological origin.
