Land-use change caused by anthropogenic activities increase fluoride and arsenic pollution in groundwater and human health risk

Yuan Li et al.

Summary: Groundwater pollution is exacerbated by anthropogenic activities and land-use changes, increasing contamination of fluoride and arsenic and posing higher health risks to humans. This study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of human activities on groundwater pollution and provides valuable insights for policymakers to mitigate adverse health risks for residents.

Arsenic fate in upper Indus river basin (UIRB) aquifers: Controls of hydrochemical processes, provenances and water-aquifer matrix interaction

Suhail A. Lone et al.

Summary: The study found significant arsenic concentrations in hard rock and groundwater samples from the upper Indus river basin in the Himalayas, primarily influenced by the presence of felsic minerals and magmatic setting. Groundwater is less mineralized, with moderate electrical conductivity and weakly acidic to alkaline in nature. Arsenic in groundwater poses a serious threat to human health, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and mitigation efforts.

High geogenic arsenic concentrations in travertines and their spring waters: Assessment of the leachability and estimation of ecological and health risks

Zahra Mohammadi et al.

Summary: The study found that springs and travertines near Ghorveh city in western Iran contain high concentrations of arsenic, with two main types of travertines distinguished: fissure ridge and mound travertines. These high arsenic levels may pose adverse ecotoxicological effects on surrounding agricultural soils and crops.
