The Ecology of Arsenic

TL;DR: This work reviews what is known about arsenic-metabolizing bacteria and their potential impact on speciation and mobilization of arsenic in nature and investigates their role in aquifers.
Book ChapterDOI

Environmental biochemistry of arsenic.

TL;DR: The mode of toxicity of arsenate is to partially block protein synthesis and interfere with protein phosphorylation but the presence of phosphate prevents this mode of action, and there appears to be a higher affinity for phosphate than arsenate with 4:1.

Ecotoxicology of arsenic in the marine environment

TL;DR: The average concentration of total arsenic in the ocean is about 1.7 μg/L, about two orders of magnitude higher than the U.S Environmental Protection Agency's human health criterion (fish consumption) value of 0.0175 μg/l.

Geochemical occurrence of arsenic in groundwater of Bangladesh: sources and mobilization processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured total arsenic, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), iron, major cations and anions were measured in tube-well waters used for drinking by people to investigate the geochemical condition of subsurface aquifer, source of arsenic and mechanism of arsenic release to groundwater of Bangladesh.
