Four mosquito species—Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) galvaoi, An.(Anopheles) mediopunctatus, Culex (Culex) lahillei, and Uranotaenia (Uranotaenia) geometrica´ —were recorded for the first time in northwestern Argentina. In addition, Psorophora (Grabhamia) confinnis and Cx.(Melanoconion) pedroi are reported for the first time in Jujuy Province, while Aedes (Ochlerotatus) hastatus, Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) hermanoi, An.(Ano.)

  • Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts
    Lithium extraction in Argentina: a case study on the social and environmental impacts Pía Marchegiani, Jasmin Höglund Hellgren and Leandro Gómez. Executive summary The global demand for lithium has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to grow further due to its use in batteries for different products. Lithium is used in smaller electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops but also for larger batteries found in electric vehicles and mobility vehicles. This growing demand has generated a series of policy responses in different countries in the southern cone triangle (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), which together hold around 80 per cent of the world’s lithium salt brine reserves in their salt flats in the Puna area. Although Argentina has been extracting lithium since 1997, for a long time there was only one lithium-producing project in the country. In recent years, Argentina has experienced increased interest in lithium mining activities. In 2016, it was the most dynamic lithium producing country in the world, increasing production from 11 per cent to 16 per cent of the global market (Telam, 2017). There are now around 46 different projects of lithium extraction at different stages. However, little consideration has been given to the local impacts of lithium extraction considering human rights and the social and environmental sustainability of the projects. With this in mind, the current study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of the potential and actual impacts of lithium extraction on local communities, providing insights from local perspectives to be considered in the wider discussion of sustainability, green technology and climate change.

Earlier indices developed for Argentina (Velázquez, 2008; 2010a) provided basically two dimensions: a) socio-economic and b) environmental. Socio-economic dimension embraces such indicators as education, health and housing, while environmental one considers three aspects: nature-based recreational resources, socially constructed recreational resources and environmental problems.

In total, 698 maternal serum samples from Salta (n ¼ 498) and Ushuaia (n ¼ 200) were collected in 2011–2012 and analyzed for a total of 7 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 12 pesticide-related compounds. Only 11 of the compounds had detection rates above 60% in one or both places. Compared with Ushuaian women, those from Salta exhibited higher lipid-adjusted concentrations of p,p0-DDE, p,p0-DDT, b-HCH, and PCB 118 (p # 0.003), with no differences in concentrations of PCB 153 and 138.

No variations between native and migrated Ushuaian women were observed other than for PCB 153 (6.1 versus 8.6 mgkgÀ1 lipid, p ¼ 0.022).

E-mail: [email protected] OTES N Abstract: The records of distribution of Contomastix leachei Peracca, 1897 indicate that this species is endemic of Southeast Jujuy Province, occurring only in the Ledesma Department. Here, we report the southernmost known locality of this species, from Alemanía, Salta Province, Argentina. This record represents the southern limit of distribution of the species. We also provide an updated range map for this species based on data from museum records and field studies. The Contomastix genus was recently proposed by transition”, which is characterized by being drier than the Harvey et al. (2012) for grouping the species of the “Yungas sensu stricto”, with vegetation typical of the semi- formerly called Cnemidophorus lacertoides group (Cei arid Chaco and “Chaco serrano” ecotones (Brown et al. 1993) in a monophyletic cluster. Five species are currently 2002). recognized for this new genus: C. lacertoides, C. leachei, In order to evaluate the taxonomic status of the C.
