pH, redox potential, and the presence of complexing ions such as ions of sulfur, iron, and calcium determine the arsenic valence and speciation. Because of the naturally occurring arsenic contamination in groundwater in many parts of the world many people have faced with risk of arsenic ...
It showed that many people in eastern Punjab, which includes Lahore, the country's second most populous city, are exposed to a high risk of arsenic contamination. "In many parts of the densely populated plains along the Indus River and its tributaries, arsenic concentrations in groundwater suppl...

23.2.1Arsenic and drinking water contamination Water is the major source of human exposure toarsenic compounds[13]. Underground water and water aquifers are contaminated when arsenic-bearing minerals undergo oxidation and release arsenic into water. The reduction of Fe/As oxyhydroxides could also be ...
Arsenic contamination in water has posed severe health problems worldwide.Chronic exposure to high arsenic concentrations can cause skin cancer and other diseases. So it is imperative to remove arsenic from drinking water for saving the population from such health effects.There are many conventional te...
Contamination of groundwater by arsenic from natural geochemical sources is at present a most serious challenge in the planning of large-scale use of groundwater for drinking and other purposes. Recent improvements in detection limits of analytical instruments are allowing the correlation of health imp...
Very few policy actions have been taken at international level over the past decade to reduce arsenic contamination in drinking water, with the goal of preventing toxic impacts on human health. We recommend that that United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and WHO should take stock of the ...
Australia and New Zealand (Valette-Silver et al.1999; Argos et al.2010; Shaji et al.2021). There are three main sources of As contamination ingroundwater: (1) As affected aquifers where geogenic As-bearing mineral dissolute into aquifer water; (2) geothermal water which contain high amount...
Few studies of environmental justice examine inequities in drinking water contamination. Those studies that have done so usually analyze either disparities in exposure/harm or inequitable implementation of environmental policies. The US EPA’s 2001 Revised Arsenic Rule, which tightened the drinking water ...
