This paper reviews how active research in West Bengal has unmasked the endemic
arsenism that has detrimental effects on the health of millions of people and their offspring. It …

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 …

Sources of As in the Ganges sediments and microbial mechanisms of its release in
groundwater were examined in the present study, where the authors have systematically …

The deeper groundwater (depending on definition) of the Bengal basin (Ganges–
Brahmaputra delta) has long been considered as an alternate, safe drinking-water source in …

Groundwater and core sediments of two boreholes (to a depth of 50m) from the Chapai-
Nawabganj area in northwestern Bangladesh were collected for arsenic concentration and …

High concentrations of arsenic (As) in groundwater are among the long-standing
environmental problems on the planet. Due to adverse impacts on the human and aquatic …

Understanding the controls on spatial variability of groundwater arsenic (As) is critical for
mitigating As contamination. The objective of this study is to determine controls on …

Arsenic (As) concentration and geochemical analysis of groundwater as well as core
sediments of 20 tube wells revealed the uppermost aquifer (20–40 m of depth) groundwater …

Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a serious and widespread problem.[(Smedley and
Kinniburgh, 2002), 520] remarked that 'As and F are now recognized as the most serious …

The geochemical study of groundwaters and core sediments from the Old Brahmaputra plain
of Bangladesh was conducted to investigate the distribution of arsenic and related trace …
