Predicting geogenic arsenic contamination in shallow groundwater of south Louisiana, United States.
Groundwater contaminated with arsenic (As) threatens the health of more than 140 million people worldwide. Previous studies indicate that geology and sedimentary depositional environments are important factors controlling groundwater As contamination. The Mississippi River delta has broadly similar geology and sedimentary depositional environments to the large deltas in South and Southeast Asia...
متن کاملArsenic Contamination in Hizla, Bangladesh: Sources, Effects and Remedies
Various natural (high arsenic bearing strata and pyrite oxidation) and anthropogenic (agricultural, coal mining, metal smelting, and refining industry) sources are involved in arsenic pollution of water. Water, soil, and biological samples (vegetables, fish, and meat) were collected from potentially arsenic affected area Hizla, Bangladesh and analyzed to find the source of arsenic contamination...
متن کاملSpatial Variation of Arsenic in Soil, Irrigation Water, and Plant Parts: A Microlevel Study
Arsenic pollution became a great problem in the recent past in different countries including Bangladesh. The microlevel studies were conducted to see the spatial variation of arsenic in soils and plant parts contaminated through ground water irrigation. The study was performed in shallow tube well command areas in Sadar Upazila (subdistrict), Faridpur, Bangladesh, where both soil and irrigation...
متن کاملA generalized regression model of arsenic variations in the shallow groundwater of Bangladesh
Localized studies of arsenic (As) in Bangladesh have reached disparate conclusions regarding the impact of irrigation-induced recharge on As concentrations in shallow (≤50 m below ground level) groundwater. We construct generalized regression models (GRMs) to describe observed spatial variations in As concentrations in shallow groundwater both (i) nationally, and (ii) regionally within Holocene...
متن کاملArsenic Contamination in Groundwater of Bangladesh: Perspectives on Geochemical, Microbial and Anthropogenic Issues
A groundwater, sediment and soil chemistry and mineralogical study has been performed to investigate the sources and mobilization process of Arsenic (As) in shallow aquifers of Bangladesh. The groundwater from the shallow aquifers is characterized by high concentrations of Arsenic (47.5–216.8 μg/L), iron (0.85–5.83 mg/L), and phosphate, along with high electrical conductivity (EC). The groundwa...
