The water supplies of this district are the industrial and domestic discharges of Mexico City and its metropolitan area. RDD-063 production of grains, vegetables, and fruits as well as cattle products supplies the Mexico City market, so it is important to evaluate the chemical risks to which this population is exposed. Fourteen sampling sites were selected for collection of water, soil, and sediment samples in March, July, and October 1993. Bioassays with Daphnia magna, Spirillum volutans, and Panagrellus redivivus were used to estimate acute toxicity and genotoxicity in water samples, sediment pore water, and Milli-Q water extracts of soil. Acute toxicity effects were detected in March and October, while in July genotoxicity responses were found. The results demonstrate that RDD-063 had serious ecological damage, and its waters, soils, and sediments represent a hazard to animal and human health. Bioconcentration and persistence of toxic substances in drinking and irrigation water is a major problem that requires a long-term solution. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
