Statistical Modeling of the Groundwater Arsenic Contamination Level in Bangladesh Due to Chemical Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper intends to offer a modeling of the magnitude of arsenic, by using 54 variables of chemical elements based on secondary data. The samples are collected from 113 wells from different areas of Bangladesh. The study shows that 9 variables are significantly related with the arsenic variable. Analysis also claims that arsenic variable can be modeled with three principal components (a linear combination of independent variables). The study also considered the latitude and longitude variables but there is no spatial autocorrelation between them.

Groundwater plays a pivotal role as the largest potable water sources in Bangladesh. As agriculture is widely practiced in Bangladesh, potential nitrate (NO3¯) pollution may occur. Besides, excess amount of arsenic (As) has already been found in groundwater in many parts of Bangladesh including the present study area. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the NO3¯ status along with some trac...

Arsenic (As) contamination in the groundwater of Bangladesh is one of the major public health concerns. It has become a challenge to remove As from groundwater and a great deal of efforts employed in this regards with limited success. Cerium oxide is one of the important medias of arsenic removal techniques. Nine units of cerium-based arsenic technology were tested with seven different well wat...
