“…Other Pleistocene aquifers hosting As‐poor groundwater in the Hetao Basin (Gao, Jia, et al., 2020), Baiyangdian Basin (Guo et al., 2020), Bangladesh (Dhar et al., 2011; Stollenwerk et al., 2007), Cambodia (Gillispie et al., 2016), and Vietnam (Eiche et al., 2008; Neidhardt et al., 2021) had around one to two orders of magnitude higher contents of Mn oxides (up to 10.8 mmol/kg; Table S4 in Supporting Information ) than those in the deep confined aquifers of the study area. High Mn oxide contents may result in the predominant Mn oxide reduction in these aquifers with dissolved Mn concentrations averaged at 20 μmol/L in Vietnam (Eiche et al., 2008) and 36 μmol/L in Bangladesh (Stollenwerk et al., 2007).…”
