摘要: A set of 96 water samples from shallow tubewells and 14 sediment Samas- tipur district to know the level arsenic (As) its controlling factors were analyzed. Groundwater collected different depths, a wide range concentrations in 0.19-135 μg L −1 was found. Scanning electron micrograph study sediments shows intense chemi- cal weathering. Present also support reductive dissolution FeOOH triggered by organic matter oxidation as an As mobility factor aquifer sands. community development blocks.
