TLDR
The 2011 WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (fourth edition) advised a health-based value of 70μg/L for Mo but this is no longer promulgated as a formal guideline value as WHO consider such concentrations to be rarely found in drinking water as discussed by the authors.About:

Naturally occurring potentially toxic elements in groundwater from the volcanic landscape around Mount Meru, Arusha, Tanzania and their potential health hazard
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported on the occurrence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the groundwater on the populated flanks of Mt. Meru, an active volcano situated in the East African Rift Valley (EARV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of valuable metals from discarded AMOLED displays in smartphones using Bacillus foraminis as an alkali-tolerant strain.
TL;DR: In this article, the first-time extraction of Ag, Mo, and Cu from active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) screens of discarded smartphones have been achieved using organic acids produced by Bacillus foraminis cultured on a modified Horikoshi medium.

Mobilization of co-occurring trace elements (CTEs) in arsenic contaminated aquifers in the Bengal basin
Michael Vega,Michael Vega,Harshad Vijay Kulkarni,Harshad Vijay Kulkarni,Karen H. Johannesson,Karen H. Johannesson,Robert J. Taylor,Saugata Datta,Saugata Datta +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the co-mobilization of potentially toxic trace elements (CTEs) in aquifers with known metal-loid contamination, and found that CTEs are being mobilized concomitantly with As in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India, probably by microbial Fe reduction.

Paddy soil geochemistry, uptake of trace elements by rice grains (Oryza sativa) and resulting health risks in the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam
TL;DR: In this article, the thresholds of tolerable upper intake level for total food and drinking water (UL) and of permissible maximum concentration (MC) for rice grains were evaluated to assess health risks of critical elements in rice, and the differing results of the UL and MC approaches show an urgent need for revision and harmonization concerning As, Cd, and Pb limits.

User's guide to PHREEQC (Version 2)-a computer program for speciation, batch-reaction, one-dimensional transport, and inverse geochemical calculations
David L. Parkhurst,C.A.J. Appelo +1 more
TL;DR: PHREEQC as discussed by the authors is a C program written in the C programming language that is designed to perform a wide variety of low-temperature aqueous geochemical calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.
