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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

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 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 …

For the last few decades, toxic levels of arsenic (As) in groundwater from the aquifers of the
Ganges River delta, India and Bangladesh, have been known to cause serious public health …
