GUERRERO USEDA, Maria Eugenia  y  PINEDA ACEVEDO, Vanessa. CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF SOIL POLLUTION IN THE MINING ZONE OF RASGATÁ BAJA (TAUSA). Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.1, pp.57-74. ISSN 0124-8170.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rcin.1664.

A conceptual model of the risk of soil contamination in Rasgatá Bajo was developed. This village in the municipality of Tausa (Cundinamarca) is on the border declared by the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca in 2009, Regional District Integrated Management of Renewable Natural Resources Guargua and Laguna Verde Paramus. The local productive vocation has traditionally been cultivating potato (Solanum tuberosum L) and the extraction and processing of clay and coal, activities with serious impacts on soil, so that the project objective was to identify and evaluate the condition of this resource in areas confluence mining and processing of clay and coal. A mixed methodological approach that combined documentary research, in situ measurement of chemical and physical characteristics remarks followed to determine the sources and types of hazardous pollutants affecting soil adjacent to mine sites and toxicological impacts for people, wildlife and flora. The data obtained will contribute to the redesign and evaluation of local environmental management plans.

Palabras clave : Physical and chemical soil contamination.
