About 85.3% of water samples have arsenic concentrations above 10 μg/L provided by the World Health Organization, WHO, guideline value. This data article provides also map showing the concentration of arsenic in groundwater of Rafsanjan area based on the situation of the sampling points in ...
Canada and globally, in natural and untreated spring water. The aim of the project was to determine the spatial extent of arsenic concentrations in groundwater in relation to geology and land use in the White Rock-Surrey-Langley area.
The groundwater of the Bengal basin, in Bangladesh and West Bengal state of India, is found to be severely polluted by non-point sourced, geogenic arsenic (As), which has been regarded as the largest public health concern in the human history. The geomorphology and geology of the aquifers p...
South Africadoes not have significant surface water resources, which is often easily affected by unpredictable and rapidly changing climatic variables, due to its location in the arid and semi-arid climatic setting. In large part of the country, groundwater from weathered and fracturedcrystalline rock...
The study, published in the U.S. journal Science Advance, examined groundwater samples collected from nearly 1,200 sites from across the country. Then, a model incorporating topographical, geochemical and hydrological parameters was used to create the first comprehensive "hazard map" of this poison...
map includes known arsenic-affected areas and previously undocumented areas of concern. By combining the global arsenic prediction model with household groundwater-usage statistics, we estimate that 94 million to 220 million people are potentially exposed to high arsenic concentrations in groundwater, ...
A comprehensive review on current status, mechanism, and possible sources of arsenic contamination in groundwater:a global perspective with prominence of Pakistan scenario. Environ. Geochem. Health 41 (2), 737-760. [9] Appleyard, S.J., Angeloni, J., Watkins, R., 2006. Arsenic-rich ...
U.S. Map of Arsenic in Water above EPA limits Arsenic is tasteless, odorless, and invisible. This means that this harmful element cannot be tasted, smelled or seen. Arsenic can only be detected by special water tests done by professionals. It is recommended that owners of private wells parti...
Arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh: A geostatistical and epidemiological framework for evaluating health effects and potential remedies This paper examines the health crisis in Bangladesh due to dissolved arsenic in groundwater. First, we use geostatistical methods to construct a map of ars... WH ...
hydrogeochemical environment of high As concentrations in groundwater and on the availability and mineralogical speciation of As in the aquifer sediments of an area of about 35 km2 (Malda District, West Bengal, India), where hot-spots with As enriched groundwater occur in close vicinity of low...
