Arsenic contamination of groundwater: A global synopsis with focus on the Indian Peninsula
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the current scenario of arsenic contamination of groundwater in various countries across the globe with an emphasis on the Indian Peninsula is presented and the corrective measures available include removing arsenic from groundwater using filters, exploring deeper or alternative aquifers, treatment of the aquifer itself, dilution method by artificial recharge to groundwater, conjunctive use and installation of nano-filter, among other procedures.
Chronic arsenic exposure and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Bangladesh | NOVA. The University of Newcastle's Digital Repository
A. H. Milton,Wayne Smith,Bayzidur Rahman,Ziaul Hasan,U. Kulsum,Keith Dear,M Rakibuddin,A. Ali +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study assessed the association between arsenic in drinking water and spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and neonatal death, and found that chronic exposure to arsenic through drinking water has the potential to cause adverse pregnancy outcomes, although the association has not been demonstrated conclusively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of (modified) natural adsorbents for arsenic remediation: A review.
TL;DR: This review paper presents progress of adsorption technologies for remediation of As contaminated water using chemically modified natural materials.

Carcinogenic and Non-carcinogenic Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Groundwater Wells in Neyshabur Plain, Iran.
Hossein Najafi Saleh,Maryam Panahande,Mahmood Yousefi,Farzaneh Baghal Asghari,Gea Oliveri Conti,Elham Talaee,Ali Mohammadi +6 more
TL;DR: Considering the toxic effect of some elements, including Pb and As, in the chronic exposure of consumers, it is suggested a continuous evaluation and monitoring of drinking water resources.

Co-occurrence, possible origin, and health-risk assessment of arsenic and fluoride in drinking water sources in Mexico: Geographical data visualization
María Teresa Alarcón-Herrera,Daniel A. Martin-Alarcon,Mélida Gutiérrez,Liliana Reynoso-Cuevas,Alejandra Martín-Domínguez,Mario A. Olmos-Márquez,Jochen Bundschuh +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that 8.81 million people are exposed to arsenic above the limit of 10 μg/L, and an additional 13,070 lifetime cases of cancer are expected from this arsenic exposure alone, which is concentrated in the arid states of north-central Mexico.

Elevated arsenic in deeper groundwater of the western Bengal basin, India: Extent and controls from regional to local scale
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the first collective discussion on extent and controls of elevated As in deeper groundwater of a regional study area in the western part of the Bengal basin, where they defined deeper groundwater as non-brackish, potable (Cl- <= 250 mg/L) groundwater available at the maximum accessed depth (similar to 80-300 m).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological responses to arsenic compounds.
TL;DR: An emerging approach of interest and therapeutic potential involves efforts to target and block cellular pathways activated in a negative feedback manner during treatment of cells with As2O3, which may ultimately provide the means to selectively enhance the suppressive effects of this agent on malignant cells and render normally resistant tumors sensitive to its antineoplastic properties.

TL;DR: Given the arsenic levels measured in food and water and consumption of these items, cooked rice and vegetables are a substantial exposure pathway for inorganic arsenic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the impedance of As migration by adsorption to aquifer sediments in situ by replicating the intrusion of shallow groundwater through injection of 1,000 L of deep groundwater modified with 200 μg L(-1) of As into a deeper aquifer.

Novel Thioarsenic Metabolites in Human Urine after Ingestion of an Arsenosugar, 2‘,3‘-Dihydroxypropyl 5-Deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside
TL;DR: Seven arsenic metabolites were identified, which together accounted for 88% of the total urinary arsenic collected over 61 h, and Cytotoxicity testing of the major metabolites DMA, oxo-DMAE, thio-D MAE,Oxo-DMAA, and thio,DMAA showed that they were nontoxic even at 10 mM, except for D MA, which showed some toxic effects at 1 mM.
