Co-occurrence of arsenic and fluoride in the groundwater of Punjab, Pakistan: source discrimination and health risk assessment

It is proposed that pollutants originate, in part, from coal combusted at brick factories, and agricultural activities, and once generated, these pollutants were mobilized by the alkaline nature of the groundwater.

The origin of arsenic in soils and groundwater of the Pannonian part of Croatia

Arsenic content in surface layer (0-25 cm) varies from 0.9 mg/kg soil to almost implausible 490 mg/kg. The reason for the highest content in hydromorphic soils should probably be sought in recent…
