Spanish term or phrase: taza de contaminación
Dear translators,

I think I might be attempting to translate a misspelling. I have found less than a hundred examples of "taza de contaminación" and thousands of "tasa de contaminación", which would make a lot more sense in any case. Notwithstanding, I am unsure as to how to translate either in this context:

En 4 casos observamos la presencia de elementos minoritarios, como el arsénico, lo cual plantea una particular interrogante. En efecto, la presencia de arsénico es un elemento muy común en los cursos de agua del extremo norte de Chile. Su presencia podría indicarnos de forma indirecta el uso de agua como ligante empleado en la confección de las pinturas. De hecho esta detección es más recurrente para el sitio de Vilacaurani, situado en las nacientes del río Lluta, el cual muestra una de las mayores tazas de contaminación natural del agua.
