Movement of Arsenic in undisturbed Soil Columns with Irrigated Rice Culture
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Arsenic from irrigation water is accumulating in soils (Ullah, 1998; Panaullah et al., 2003). The presence of high As in Bangladeshi soils and continuing use of As contaminated irrigation water may affect the movement of As in soil and accumulation of As in rice (Abedin et al., 2002). Transport of As in soil, as well as uptake by plants is governed by mobility, yet mobility of As in soil is imperfectly understood. The objective of this study was to determine the mobility of As in soil columns, irrigated with As contaminated water, with and without rice cultivation.

Since rice is a staple food most consumed world-wide, there have been increasing health concerns regarding exposure to arsenic through rice consumption. Several studies have reported the accumulation of arsenic in rice grains cultivated in regions with elevated levels of arsenic in groundwater or contaminated soil. Therefore the principal aim of this study was determining the amount of arsenic ...
متن کاملRice field geochemistry and hydrology: an explanation for why groundwater irrigated fields in Bangladesh are net sinks of arsenic from groundwater.
Irrigation of rice fields in Bangladesh with arsenic-contaminated groundwater transfers tens of cubic kilometers of water and thousands of tons of arsenic from aquifers to rice fields each year. Here we combine observations of infiltration patterns with measurements of porewater chemical composition from our field site in Munshiganj Bangladesh to characterize the mobility of arsenic in soils be...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of external iron status and arsenic species on chelant-enhanced iron bioavailability and arsenic uptake. Rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) were used as model plant, and were grown in artificially contaminated sandy soils irrigated with Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture solution. Arsenate uptake in roots and shoots of rice seedlings were affected ...
متن کاملImpact of irrigating rice paddies with groundwater containing arsenic in Bangladesh.
Soil and soil-water As profiles were obtained from 4 rice paddies in Bangladesh during the wet growing season (May-November), when surface water with little arsenic is used for irrigation, or during the dry season (January-May), when groundwater elevated in arsenic is used instead. In the upper 5 cm of paddy soil, accumulation of 13+/-12 mg/kg acid-leachable As (n=11) was observed in soil from ...

Organic fertilizers are the sources of many human-pathogenic microorganisms which potentially threaten the human health. This study was carried out to explore the possible effects of soil and manure types on filtration, transport and fate of manure-borne bacteria through undisturbed soil columns. The manure treatments consisted of cow manure, poultry manure and sewage sludge which were distribu...
