Arsenic in Foodchain and Community Health Risk: A Study in Gangetic West Bengal

Assessment of Arsenic Accumulation by Different Varieties of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Irrigated with Arsenic-contaminated Groundwater in West Bengal (India)

“…The induction of arsenic in human food chain through consumption of rice thus imposes community health risk in arsenic affected areas of West Bengal [12,13]. Different researchers have studied the effect of arsenic on diverse rice varieties cultivated around the world [7,12,14].…”

Correlation of Infectious and Parasitogenic Morbidity at the Children Population with Salt Composition of Drinking Water in the Rural Taxons of Dnipro Region

“…In some years of supervision was found out exceeding of an average annual regional level of morbidity I class of diseases in the following districts: Apostolivskyi (in 1.09-1.14 times The cross-correlation analysis have to find out a possible influence of water factor on an infectious and parasitogenic morbidity among the children population in some rural districts of Dnipro region. In contrast with references for the recent years [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], we did not found health effects of higher levels of iron, manganese and arsenic in water from shallow tube wells on the children population morbidity, such as: arsenicosis, skin diseases, skin cancers, internal cancers (bladder, kidney, and lung), diabetes, raised blood pressure, and reproductive disorders, children's cognitive [44], behavioral, and neuropsychological health disorders [45]. In our research work the majority of water factors, as well as general regidity, dry remain, chlorides, sulfates, calcium, magnesium, except iron, pH, nitrates, oxidableness were correlated with prevalence of infectious and parasitogenic diseases.…”

“…Yisa and Jimoh [43] reported higher levels of iron and manganese that contributed to poor-quality drinking water. Several studies have reported that exposure to high manganese concentrations threatens children's cognitive [44], behavioral, and neuropsychological health [45].…”

Evaluation of Water Quality of Local Streams at Gandhamardan Iron Mines, Suakati, Keonjhar District of Odisha, India

“…Arsenic (As) is introduced into soil and water during weathering of rocks and minerals followed by subsequent leaching and runoff. Excessive and long term (such as 5-10 years) human intake of toxic inorganic As from drinking water and food may result in arsenicosis, a common name generally used for As related health problems including skin disorders, skin cancers, internal cancers (bladder, kidney, and lung), diseases of the blood vessels of the legs and feet, possibly diabetes, increased blood pressure, and reproductive disorders [87].…”
