GUTIERREZ R., Margarita Eugenia; BOCCO V., Gerardo  and  CASTILLO B., Silvia. Contaminación por cromo en el norte de la Ciudad de México, un enfoque interdisciplinario. Invest. Geog [online]. 1986, n.16, pp.77-125. ISSN 2448-7279.

Industrial residues, containing high concentra­tions of soluble chromium salts, have been accumulated in Tultitlan, Mexico. Consequently, chromium has been dispersed in the surroundings, mainly in the subsoil by percolation, and to a lesser extent it has also contaminated the atmosphere and soils. This paper presents some analytical results about the available amounts of chromium in groundwater and soils, together with a des­cription of the circumstances which gave rise to this problem, a characterization of the environment, a first estimate of the extent of the problem, and proposals for solutions.
