Abstract | Until recently, most estimates of arsenic (As) pollution have focused on the predominance of As poisoning in the groundwater of West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh (Ahmed et al., 2004), which has been thought to be limited to the Ganges Delta (the lower Ganges Plain). Several authors suggested that the reductive dissolution of Fe(Ill)- oxyhydroxides in strongly reducing conditions of the young alluvial sediments is the cause for As mobilization (Bhattacharya et al., 1997; Ahmed et al., 2004; McArthur et al., 2001; Nickson el al., 1998; von Bromssen et al., 2007). Holocene alluvial aquifers of Ballia, Ghazipur and Bhagalpur district in the middle Gangetic Plain have high concentrations of geogenic As. |
