          Abstract

          El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a la preparación de un programa nacional de monitoreo de vigilancia de Sustancias Tóxicas Persistentes y Bioacumulables (STPB) en cuencas hidrológicas y acuíferos. Se definieron los criterios y se recomendaron STPB "iniciales", cuyo monitoreo puede implementarse de forma inmediata sin cambios en regulaciones existentes e infraestructura, y STPB "emergentes", que si bien hasta la fecha no han sido considerados como contaminantes, se presentan en el ambiente y deben investigarse con mayor detalle antes de ser incluidas en programas de monitoreo de vigilancia. A través de búsquedas en Internet de páginas de universidades, centros de investigación y organismos públicos, se recopiló información de trabajos realizados sobre STPB. Se identificaron cincuenta instituciones que han estudiado STPB en cuencas hidrológicas y acuíferos en México. En la mayoría de estos trabajos se estudiaron metales y plaguicidas, seguido por hidrocarburos poliaromáticos (HPA), bifenilos policlorados (BPC), dioxinas y furanos. Entre cuarenta STPB consideradas como relevantes para monitoreo de agua, sedimento y suelo por al menos tres países u organizaciones internacionales, se incluyen 38 regulaciones en México, siendo los más comunes HPA (13 sustancias), plaguicidas (12) y metales (3). Comparando esta lista de STPB con los trabajos publicados sobre muestreo y evaluación de STPB en México, aquí se proponen 15 STPB iniciales, teniendo en cuenta la posibilidad de incluir sustancias emergentes que así lo ameritan. Se propusieron sitios de monitoreo tanto prístinos como contaminados para diferentes regiones de México.

          The objective of this paper is to contribute to the preparation of a national surveillance monitoring program for Persistent, Bio-accumulating, and Toxic, Substances (PBTS) in Mexican river basins and aquifers. Selection criteria were established and PBTS were recommended: "priority" PBTS for immediate implementation and "emerging" PBTS that historically have not been considered as contaminants are present in the environment but need further assessment before they are included in surveillance monitoring programs. For the priority list, PBTS were selected that allow for an immediate implementation without further investigation or changes of existing regulations and infrastructure. Information on work related to PBTS in Mexico was collected through Webpages from universities, research institutes, and public organizations. Fifty Mexican institutions were identified that carry out research on PBTS in river basins and aquifers. The most studied PBTS were metals and pesticides and, to a minor extent, Polychlorinated Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Polycyclic Benzenes (PCB), dioxins and furans. Among 40 PBTS considered to be relevant for monitoring water, sediments and soil by at least three different countries and international organizations, 30 are included in 8 Mexican regulations where the most abundant (13 substances) are PAH followed by pesticides (12), and metals (3). Comparing this list with published sampling and evaluation of PBTS in Mexico, a starting list of 15 priority PBTS was proposed, considering the inclusion candidate substances according to a previous assessment. Both pristine and polluted sites were proposed for different regions in Mexico.
