Microcontaminantes orgánicos. [...] Suelen estar ligados a fenómenos de toxicidad, posibilidad de acumulación, modificación de los caracteres organolépticos de las aguas, y presentan dificultades para su determinación analítica. Al igual que los metales pesados, entran en la cadena alimentaria produciendo una sucesiva bioconcentración [...] La contaminación por estos grupos de compuestos se deriva de actividades domésticas, industriales y agrícolas. Entre los grupos más característicos de este grupo de contaminantes pueden señalarse los siguientes: hidrocarburos clorados, hidrocarburos aromático−policíclicos, fenoles, pesticidas organoclorados y organofosforados, aceites y grasas, mercaptanos, trihalometanos, detergentes, bifenilos policlorados, sustancias húmicas, etc. 1, record 1, Spanish, - microcontaminante%20org%C3%A1nico
