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.

Ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol as potent modulators of apoptosis on arsenic induced toxicity in rats
TL;DR: The present work evaluated the regulatory effect exerted by Vitamin C and Vitamin E upon the apoptotic process, which can be assessed by the presence of cells with apoptosis associated DNA breaks and characterize the role of TNF-α and caspase-3 in rats intoxicated with arsenic.

Arsenic species in raw and cooked rice: implications for human health in rural Bengal.
Dipti Halder,Dipti Halder,Ashis Biswas,Zdenka Šlejkovec,Debashis Chatterjee,Jerome O. Nriagu,Gunnar Jacks,Prosun Bhattacharya +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that inorganic As is the predominant species in both raw and cooked rice, and it is suggested that rice cooking with low As water by the villagers is a beneficial risk reduction strategy.

Palaeosol Control on Groundwater Flow and Pollutant Distribution: The Example of Arsenic
TL;DR: The role of palaeosols and, in particular, the LGMP, has been overlooked as a control on groundwater flow and pollutant movement in deltaic and coastal aquifers worldwide.

TL;DR: Empirical studies should use both urinary As concentrations and the relative proportion of UAs to minimize measurement error and to facilitate interpretation of factors that influence As metabolism.

Mobility of arsenic in the sub-surface environment: An integrated hydrogeochemical study and sorption model of the sandy aquifer materials
Bibhash Nath,Sudipta Chakraborty,André Burnol,Doris Stüben,Debashis Chatterjee,Laurent Charlet +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, groundwater and aquifer materials have been characterized geochemically at a field site located in the Chakdaha municipality of West Bengal, India, where the results showed that the areas associated with high groundwater As (mean: 1.8 μM) are typically associated with low Eh (measured: −129 mV), and high Fe (measure: 0.11 mM), where Fe2+/Fe(OH)3 couple is controlling groundwater redox potential.
