Abstract

A study on Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations in Castellón Plain aquifer has been carried out in order to know if the industrial activity of this zone affects to the groundwater quality. Adsorption processes and relative migration velocity of these metals through the soils of this zone have also been studied.
Metal concentrations in the aquifer are lower than those expected in an area with an intense industrial activity. It can be due to the fact that these metals show high adsorption coefficients in the soils and very low migration velocities through them, so it is no probable that the metals from the waste-waters reach the aquifer, or they take some time to reach it.
