Sequential chemical extraction of arsenic and related elements from the Holocene sediments of Sonargaon, Bangladesh, in relation to formation of arsenic-contaminated groundwater

The mineralogy and chemistry of aquifer sediments of As-contaminated groundwater in Sonargaon, Bangladesh were analyzed to identify the host phases of As and to understand release mechanism of As into the groundwater. Sequential chemical extraction revealed that the As was mostly fixed in silicate(s...
