Abstract
As well as the HGT values, which are based on total concentrations, bioavailability of arsenic and uranium species was also considered in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of hydrogeotoxic risk over the study area. In all samples with HGTAs > 1, arsenic was present as As(V) inorganic form. Likewise, in samples with HGTU10 > 1, uranium appears as U(VI). This hydrogeotoxic anomaly must be related to both the chemical and radiological hazards.
