متن کاملOccurrence and source of geogenic arsenic in groundwater from the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin, Alberta
Elevated arsenic concentrations have been observed in shallow groundwater in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin (CLBR) of Alberta. The geology of this area includes up to 200 m of unconsolidated glacial deposits, with six regional interglacial sand and gravel aquifers, underlain by marine shale. Arsenic concentrations in unconsolidated sediment samples ranged between 1 to 17 ppm. Mineralogical ch...
متن کاملGroundwater Arsenic Contamination in the Ganga River Basin: A Future Health Danger
This study highlights the severity of arsenic contamination in the Ganga River basin (GRB), which encompasses significant geographic portions of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Tibet. The entire GRB experiences elevated levels of arsenic in the groundwater (up to 4730 µg/L), irrigation water (~1000 µg/L), and in food materials (up to 3947 µg/kg), all exceeding the World Health Organization's stan...

متن کاملEnvironmental arsenic epidemiology in the Mekong river basin of Cambodia.
We investigated relationship of arsenicosis symptoms with total blood arsenic (BAs) and serum albumin (SAlb) of residents in the Mekong River basin of Cambodia. We found that arsenicosis patients had significantly higher BAs and lower SAlb than asymptomatic villagers (Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.01). Arsenicosis symptoms were found to be 76.4% (1.764 times) more likely to develop among individuals...
