The Role of Manganese Carbonate Precipitation in Controlling Fluoride and Uranium Mobilization in Groundwater

Ashwini Kumar Mohapatra et al.

Summary: Groundwater contamination with fluoride and uranium is a common issue in many parts of India, with limited understanding of their sources and mobilization mechanisms. The present study identified calcite precipitation-induced fluorite dissolution as a key factor contributing to the coexistence of elevated F and U in shallow groundwater, while elevated Mn in deeper groundwater may play a critical role in controlling F and U concentrations in the shallow aquifer.

Alessandro Tarozzi et al.

Summary: Millions of villagers in Bangladesh are exposed to arsenic by drinking contaminated water from private wells. Testing for arsenic has been found to encourage switching from unsafe wells to safer sources, although various selling schemes such as informal agreements or visual reminders did not significantly increase sales or switching behavior.
