Introduction to the Biogeochemical Cycling of Arsenic
Although arsenic is highly toxic to humans, and indeed most other forms of life, some microorganisms have evolved to tolerate relatively high concentrations of the metalloid, while specialist examples even thrive on the element, using it as a source of energy for growth. This surprising array of microbial processes, together with inorganic and physical processes, constitutes the global arsenic ...

متن کاملBiogeochemical arsenic and iron cycling in freshwater sediments
With the relatively recent discovery that millions of people worldwide are affected by arsenic (As) contaminated drinking water, there has been a renewed interest in arsenic sources and biogeochemical processes that lead to As mobilization. Although there are both natural and anthropogenic inputs of As to the environment, elevated As concentrations in groundwater are often due to naturally-occu...
متن کاملReduced electrodermal activity in psychopathy-prone adolescents.
This study tests the hypothesis that psychopathy-prone adolescents show reduced anticipatory skin conductance responding. Electrodermal activity was recorded while participants anticipated and responded to a 105 dB signaled or unsignaled white-noise burst. Using an extreme groups design, the authors used Child Psychopathy Scale (D. R. Lynam, 1997) scores from a community sample of 335 male adol...
متن کاملHydrogeological and biogeochemical constrains of arsenic mobilization in shallow aquifers from the Hetao basin, Inner Mongolia.
Little is known about the importance of drainage/irrigation channels and biogeochemical processes in arsenic distribution of shallow groundwaters from the Hetao basin. This investigation shows that although As concentrations are primarily dependent on reducing conditions, evaporation increases As concentration in the centre of palaeo-lake sedimentation. Near drainage channels, groundwater As co...
