Spatial variation in dissolved phosphorus and interactions with arsenic in response to changing redox conditions in floodplain aquifers of the Hetao Basin, Inner Mongolia

Yao Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the cycling of phosphorous and its interactions with arsenic in groundwater under changing redox conditions. The results show that redox conditions greatly influence the mobilization and immobilization of phosphorous and arsenic, and the presence of certain minerals plays a crucial role in their behavior.

Groundwater fluoride and arsenic mobilization in a typical deep aquifer system within a semi-arid basin

Chengcheng Li et al.

Summary: This study applies integrated hydrogeochemical parameters and multiple isotopes to investigate the sources, evolutions, and solubilization of fluoride and arsenic in deep groundwater in the Yuncheng Basin, northern China. The results show that over 80% of the deep samples have elevated levels of fluoride and/or arsenic above the WHO guideline values. Different types of deep groundwater have distinct characteristics, with deep saline water influenced by paleoclimate. The ionic ratios and isotopic compositions reveal the sources of solutes in deep aquifers and the effects of vertical leakage on the evolution of deep groundwater.

Occurrence and behavior of arsenic in groundwater-aquifer system of irrigated areas

Chengcheng Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the occurrence and speciation of arsenic in groundwater and sediments in Qiji county, as well as the mechanisms responsible for arsenic mobilization. The results show that arsenic concentrations in groundwater exceed the maximum permissible limits for drinking water, posing a health risk to humans. The high arsenic content in sediments and the release of arsenic due to irrigation intensity highlight the need for systematic management and regulation to prevent further deterioration of groundwater resources.

Genesis of geogenic contaminated groundwater: As, F and I

Yanxin Wang et al.

Summary: This review discusses the hydrogeological features, main sources of geogenic hazardous substances, dominant hydrogeochemical processes, and key factors controlling the occurrence of high arsenic, high fluoride, and high iodine groundwater. Four basic genetic types of GCGs are proposed by summarizing the characteristics of the distribution and major hydrogeochemical processes.

Unraveling influences of nitrogen cycling on arsenic enrichment in groundwater from the Hetao Basin using geochemical and multi-isotopic approaches

Zhipeng Gao et al.

Summary: The origin and co-cycling of nitrogen species in arsenic-prone groundwater remain poorly understood, which could affect arsenic behavior. This study investigated the geochemical and multi-isotopic characteristics of groundwater in different redox environments to reveal the effects of nitrogen cycling on arsenic mobility.

Comprehensive Probabilistic Health Risk Assessment for Exposure to Arsenic and Cadmium in Groundwater

Danrui Sheng et al.

Summary: Probabilistic health risk assessment using Monte Carlo simulation was conducted for arsenic and cadmium exposure through ingestion and dermal contact pathways in groundwater. Results showed varying levels of non-cancer and cancer risks for different age groups, with exposure duration and concentration factor identified as the most influential parameters affecting health risk. The study findings are important for policymakers to understand the actual health risks of heavy metal contamination in groundwater and develop suitable management strategies for safe water supply.

Assessment of seawater intrusion using ionic ratios: the case of coastal communities along the Central Region of Ghana

Albert Asare et al.

Summary: Seawater intrusion is a global phenomenon causing groundwater quality challenges in coastal areas. Through analysis of ion ratios and BEX calculations, it was found that most of the groundwater in the coastal communities of Central Region, Ghana is affected by seawater intrusion, highlighting the need to avoid developing water resources in these areas.
