Contamination of Arsenic, Chromium and Fluoride in the Indian groundwater: a review, meta-analysis and cancer risk assessment
TL;DR: A comprehensive data analysis of the groundwater levels of As, Cr and F− reported in different states of India was presented in this article, where the experimental studies conducted in different regions of India were compiled for inclusive data analysis and the severe carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic impacts of these contaminants on the health of the natives.

Removal of arsenic from contaminated groundwater using biochar: a technical review
TL;DR: In this article, the role of biochar as an adsorbent for the decontamination of groundwater has been discussed, highlighting the potential of integrating real-time monitoring techniques with biochar for evaluating adsorption studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic Sorption on Chitosan-Based Sorbents: Comparison of the Effect of Molybdate and Tungstate Loading on As(V) Sorption Properties
TL;DR: In this paper, modified chitosan gel beads, prepared by molybdate and tungstate coagulation methods, were tested for removing As(V) from acid solutions.

Exogenous melatonin regulates endogenous phytohormone homeostasis and thiol-mediated detoxification in two indica rice cultivars under arsenic stress
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of exogenous melatonin on the regulation of endogenous plant growth regulators and their cumulative effects on metal-loid-binding ligands in two contrasting indica rice cultivars, viz., Khitish (arsenic sensitive) and Muktashri (ARSENS) under arsenic stress.

Experimental simulation of arsenic desorption from Quaternary aquifer sediments following sea water intrusion
Guia Morelli,Valentina Rimondi,Marco Benvenuti,Daniela Medas,Pilario Costagliola,Massimo Gasparon +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, As oxianions (adsorbed on mineral surfaces) and Cl− in solutions of Quaternary alluvial sediments were quantified to quantify the interaction between As oxians and Cl − in solutions and to establish if this mechanism may contribute to the release of As in groundwater.

A review of the source, behaviour and distribution of arsenic in natural waters
TL;DR: The scale of the problem in terms of population exposed to high As concentrations is greatest in the Bengal Basin with more than 40 million people drinking water containing ‘excessive’ As as mentioned in this paper.

Arsenic round the world: a review.
TL;DR: This review deals with environmental origin, occurrence, episodes, and impact on human health of arsenic, a metalloid occurs naturally, being the 20th most abundant element in the earth's crust.

TL;DR: Arsenic in drinking water: not just a problem for Bangladesh D. van Halem, S. A. Bakker, G. L. Amy, and J. C. van Dijk Delft University of Technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic poisoning of Bangladesh groundwater
TL;DR: Sedimentological study of the Ganges alluvial sediments shows that the arsenic derives from the reductive dissolution of arsenic-rich iron oxyhydroxides, which in turn are derived from weathering of base-metal sulphides.

Mechanism of arsenic release to groundwater, Bangladesh and West Bengal
TL;DR: In some areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal, concentrations of As in groundwater exceed guide concentrations, set internationally and nationally at 10 to 50 m gl ˇ1 and may reach levels in the mg l ˆ 1 range.
