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.

Ion-exchange separation of eight arsenic compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography-UV decomposition-hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry and stability tests for food treatment procedures.
TL;DR: A novel separation for cationic arsenic compounds on a polymer-based cation-exchange column was developed using an ion-pairing reagent in the mobile phase, combining on-line decomposition in a UV reactor prior to hydride generation (HG) and atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS).

Hydrochemistry of Arsenic-Enriched Aquifer from Rural West Bengal, India: A Study of the Arsenic Exposure and Mitigation Option
Bibhash Nath,Bibhash Nath,Sudip Jyoti Sahu,J. Jana,Aishwarya Mukherjee-Goswami,Sharmi Roy,Madhav Jyoti Sarkar,Debashis Chatterjee +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have analyzed the hydrochemistry vis-a-vis As exposure from drinking groundwater in rural Bengal and found that groundwater is generally enriched with As (mean, 269μg/l) and Fe (measured by Bio-markers) and showed that the accumulation of As in hair and nail is related with the construction of exposure scenario with time dimension.

TL;DR: Two distinct arsenic metabolism phenotypes show unique associations with age, sex, BMI, 10q24.32 polymorphisms, and skin lesions, which enhances the understanding of arsenic metabolism kinetics and toxicity risk profiles.

TL;DR: A strong association between As concentrations ranging 51–99 μg/L and keratosis and melanosis outcomes is observed, although the probability decreases at higher concentration ranges perhaps due to switching away from the use of As-contaminated tube wells for drinking and cooking purposes.

Arsenic Bioaccessibility in Cooked Rice as Affected by Arsenic in Cooking Water
Antonio J. Signes-Pastor,Shaban W. Al-Rmalli,Richard O. Jenkins,Ángel A. Carbonell-Barrachina,Parvez I. Haris +4 more
TL;DR: Estimation of the As intake through cooked rice based on the As bioaccessibility highlights that a few grams of cooked rice cooked with highly As contaminated water is equivalent to the amount of As from 2 L water containing the maximum permissible limit.
