Over the past few decades, groundwater wells installed in rural areas throughout the major
river basins draining the Himalayas have become the main source of drinking water for tens …

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid. Serious concerns have been raised in literature owing to its
potential toxicity towards living beings. The metalloid causes various water-and food-borne …

Geogenic groundwater arsenic (As) contamination is pervasive in many aquifers in south
and southeast Asia. It is feared that recent increases in groundwater abstractions could …

Arsenic (As) is highly mobilized when paddy soil is flooded, causing increased uptake of As
by rice. We investigated factors controlling soil-to-solution partitioning of As under anaerobic …

The health of tens of millions of people world-wide is at risk from drinking arsenic-
contaminated well water. In most cases this arsenic occurs naturally within the sub-surface …

Iron oxides may undergo structural transformations when entering an anoxic environment.
These transformations were investigated using the isotopic exchange between aqueous Fe …

Bangladesh is currently facing a serious threat to public health, with 85 million people at risk
from arsenic (As) in drinking water and in food crops. In Bangladesh, the groundwater As …

The behaviour of trace amounts of arsenate coprecipitated with ferrihydrite, lepidocrocite
and goethite was studied during reductive dissolution and phase transformation of the iron …

The mobilization of arsenic (As) to the groundwater was studied in a shallow Holocene
aquifer on the Red River flood plain near Hanoi, Vietnam. The groundwater chemistry was …

Confining clay layers typically protect groundwater aquifers against downward intrusion of
contaminants. In the context of groundwater arsenic in Bangladesh, we challenge this notion …
