| Sumario: | Edaphoclimatic conditions in Argentina enable the favorable development of agricultural activities. Most of them are concentrated in the chacopampean plain where livestock drinking water is mainly groundwater. These water sources usually contain significative concentrations of trace elements such as arsenic (As) and fluoride (F), originated in volcanic events during soil formation. The occurrence of As and F in drinking water could have deleterious effects on the human and livestock health. In the present paper, the commonly used techniques for As and F removal cited in the literature are listed and the efficiency of several methodologies previously studied in CETA with the target to remove trace elements from animal drinking water, are reviewed. In particular, an adsorbent material of geogenic origin, laterite, was used as both, adsorbent and forming part of a constructed wetland. Among the main results, it was found that laterite is a good option for the removal of pollutants such as As and F, even in high conductivity water samples, and the efficiency is increased, in the case of As, with the addition of cover plants that are capable of extracting the As from the water once the support is saturated. Thus, the construction of wetlands in rural areas is seen as a promising alternative for groundwater decontamination. Moreover, this technology has wide acceptance among the inhabitants due to its low cost, easy operation, and its integration with the environment. |
