The uncertainties and inequalities of groundwater use in Bangladesh. 2012. Rammelt CF. In: Conservation in a Crowded World: Case studies from the Asia-Pacific, J Merson, R Cooney, P Brown (ed.), p. 147-166, Sydney: UNSW Press

Abstract: This chapter reflects on the notion of sustainable use of natural resources in the context of water management in Bangladesh. Polluted and irregular surface water resources have prompted a national shift to groundwater for both agricultural and domestic sectors in the 1960s and 1980s, respectively. About a decade ago, natural occurring arsenic was detected in the shallow groundwater supplies, putting at risk drinking water and food security for an estimated 20-60 million people. Although progress is extremely slow, the sinking of deep groundwater tube-wells seems to be the most popular response. The strategy is not without risk: this chapter explores how a range of geological, technological, political, institutional and cultural factors are likely to affect continued and equitable access to adequate water resources.

Association between arsenic
exposure from drinking water and plasma levels of cardiovascular markers. 2012.
Wu F, Jasmine F, Kibriya MG, Liu ML, Wojcik O, Parvez F, et al.  Am. J. Epidemiol. 175(12):1252-1261.

Abstract:  The authors conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the
relation between arsenic exposure from drinking water and plasma levels of
markers of systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (matrix
metalloproteinase-9, myeloperoxidase, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1,
soluble E-selectin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and
soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)) using baseline data from 668
participants (age, > 30 years) in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal
Study in Bangladesh (2007-2008). Both well water arsenic and urinary arsenic
were positively associated with plasma levels of soluble VCAM-1. For every
1-unit increase in log-transformed well water arsenic (ln mu g/L) and urinary
arsenic (ln mu g/g creatinine), plasma soluble VCAM-1 was 1.02 (95% confidence
interval: 1.01, 1.03) and 1.04 (95% confidence interval: 1.01, 1.07) times greater,
respectively. There was a significant interaction between arsenic exposure and
higher body mass index, such that the increased levels of plasminogen activator
inhibitor-1 and soluble VCAM-1 associated with arsenic exposure were stronger
among people with higher body mass index. The findings indicate an effect of
chronic arsenic exposure from drinking water on vascular inflammation and
endothelial dysfunction that could be modified by body mass index and also
suggest a potential mechanism underlying the association between arsenic
exposure and cardiovascular disease.

Pre- and Postnatal
Arsenic Exposure and Body Size to 2 Years of Age: A Cohort Study in Rural Bangladesh. 2012. Saha KK, Engstrom A, Hamadani JD, Tofail F, Rasmussen KM and M Vahter.  Environ.
Health Perspect.  120(8):1208-1214.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Exposure to arsenic via drinking water has been
associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and infant morbidity and mortality.
Little is known, however, about the effects of arsenic on child growth.
OBJECTIVE: We assessed potential effects of early-life
arsenic exposure on weight and length of children from birth to 2 years of age.
METHODS: We followed 2,372 infants born in a
population-based intervention trial in rural Bangladesh. Exposure was assessed
by arsenic concentrations in urine (U-As) of mothers (gestational weeks 8 and
30) and children (18 months old). Child anthropometry was measured monthly in
the first year and quarterly in the second. Linear regression models were used
to examine associations of U-As (by quintiles) with child weight and length,
adjusted for age, maternal body mass index, socioeconomic status, and sex (or
stratified by sex).
RESULTS: Median (10th-90th percentiles) U-As concentrations
were about 80 (25-400) mu g/L in the mothers and 34 (12-159) mu g/L in the
children. Inverse associations of maternal U-As with child's attained weight
and length at 3-24 months were markedly attenuated after adjustment. However,
associations of U-As at 18 months with weight and length at 18-24 months were
more robust, particularly in girls. Compared with girls in the first quintile
of U-As (< 16 mu g/L), those in the fourth quintile (26-46 mu g/L) were almost
300 g lighter and 0.7 cm shorter, and had adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence
interval) for underweight and stunting of 1.57 (1.02-2.40) and 1.58
(1.05-2.37), respectively, at 21 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Postnatal arsenic exposure was associated with
lower body weight and length among girls, but not boys.

Arsenic-induced
health crisis in peri-urban Moyna and Ardebok villages, West Bengal, India:
an exposure assessment study.  2012.  Maity JP, Nath B, Kar S, Chen CY, Banerjee S,
Jean JS et al.  Environ.
Geochem. Hlth.  34(5):563-574.

Abstract:  Drinking of arsenic (As)-contaminated groundwater has
adverse effects on health of millions of people worldwide. This study aimed to
determine the degree of severity of As exposure from drinking water in
peri-urban Moyna and Ardebok villages, West Bengal, India. Arsenic
concentrations in hair, nail and urine samp les of the individuals were
determined. Arsenical dermatosis, keratosis and melanosis were investigated
through medical evaluation. We have evaluated the association between As
exposure from drinking water, and keratosis and melanosis outcomes. The results
showed that 82.7 % of the sampled tube wells contain As concentrations above 10
mu g/L, while 57.7 % contain As concentrations above 50 mu g/L. The hair, nail
and urine As concentrations were positively correlated with As concentrations
in drinking water. In our study population, we observed a strong association
between As concentrations ranging 51-99 mu g/L and keratosis and melanosis
outcomes, although the probability decreases at higher concentration ranges
perhaps due to switching away from the use of As-contaminated tube wells for
drinking and cooking purposes. High As concentrations in hair, nail and urine
were observed to be associated with the age of the study population. The level
of As concentrations in hair, nail and urine samples of the study population
indicated the degree of severity of As exposure in the study region.

C-14 dating of deep
groundwater in the Bengal Aquifer System, Bangladesh: Implications for aquifer
anisotropy, recharge sources and sustainability. 2012. Hoque MA and WG Burgess.  J.
Hydrol.  444:209-220.

Abstract:  Environmental isotopes and C-14 dating were applied to
estimate ages and recharge sources of deep groundwater (>= 150 m bgl) in
south-east Bangladesh.
With one exception, deep groundwater is shown to have been recharged more
recently than 10 Ka (range 3-9 Ka, mean 7.6 Ka), under climatic conditions
indicated by delta O-18 and delta H-2 as similar to the present day.
Groundwater age distributions have been used to infer the scale of aquifer
hydraulic anisotropy. 2D groundwater flow modelling is able to reproduce the
observed vertical profiles of groundwater age, as determined at two locations,
when the aquifer is assigned a permeability anisotropy (K-x/K-z) of at least
10(3). Under these conditions, deep groundwater originates as recharge in the
hill regions at the eastern boundary of the basin. Recharge rates estimated
from the groundwater ages are close to an estimate of the current rate of deep
groundwater abstraction. Cautious development and careful monitoring are
therefore necessary, as excessive deep groundwater pumping could draw dissolved
arsenic from the shallow levels of the Bengal Aquifer System (BAS) and
contaminate the deep groundwater resource.

Hydrogeochemical
contrast between brown and grey sand aquifers in shallow depth of Bengal Basin:
Consequences for sustainable drinking water supply. 2012. Biswas A, Nath B,
Bhattacharya P, Haider D, Kundu AK, Mandal U et al.  Sci. Tot. Env.  431:402-412.

Abstract: Delineation of safe aquifer(s) that can be targeted by cheap
drilling technology for tubewell (TW) installation becomes highly imperative to
ensure access to safe and sustainable drinking water sources for the arsenic
(As) affected population in Bengal Basin. This study
investigates the potentiality of brown sand aquifers (BSA) as a safe drinking
water source by characterizing its hydrogeochemical contrast to grey sand
aquifers (GSA) within shallow depth (<70 m) over an area of 100 km(2) in
Chakdaha Block of Nadia district, West Bengal, India. The results indicate that
despite close similarity in major ion composition, the redox condition is
markedly different in groundwater of the two studied aquifers. The redox
condition in the BSA is delineated to be Mn oxy-hydroxide reducing, not
sufficiently lowered for As mobilization into groundwater. In contrast, the
enrichments of NH4+, PO43-, Fe and As along with lower Eh in groundwater of GSA
reflect reductive dis-solution of Fe oxy-hydroxide coupled to microbially
mediated oxidation of organic matter as the prevailing redox process causing As
mobilization into groundwater of this aquifer type. In some portions of GSA the
redox status even has reached to the stage of SO42- reduction, which to some
extent might sequester dissolved As from groundwater by co-precipitation with
authigenic pyrite. Despite having low concentration of As in groundwater of the
BSA the concentration of Mn often exceeds the drinking water guidelines, which
warrants rigorous assessment of attendant health risk for Mn prior to
considering mass scale exploitation of the BSA for possible sustainable
drinking water supply.

The palaeosol model
of arsenic pollution of groundwater tested along a 32 km traverse across West
Bengal, India.  2012.  Hoque MA, McArthur JM, and PK Sikdar.  Sci. Tot. Env.  431:157-165.  
Abstract: The distribution of As-pollution in groundwater of the
deltaic aquifers of south-eastern Asiamay be
controlled by the subsurface distribution of palaeo-channel sediments
(As-polluted groundwaters) and palaeo-interfluvial sediments (As-free
groundwaters). To test this idea, termed the palaeosol model of As-pollution, we
drilled 10 sites, analysed groundwater from 249 shallow wells (screened <
107 mbgl), field-tested another 149 for As, and used colour as a guide to the
presence or absence of As-pollution in a further 531 wells. Our work was
conducted along a 32-km traverse running W to E across southern West Bengal,
India. At seven drill sites we logged a palaeo-interfluvial sequence, which
occurs as three distinct units that together occupy 20 km of the traverse.
These palaeo-interfluvial sequences yield As-free groundwaters from brown sands
at depth < 100 m. The palaeo-interfluvial sequences are separated by two
deep palaeo-channels, which were logged at 3 sites. The palaeo-channel deposits
host As-polluted groundwater in grey sands. Our findings confirm the predictions
of the palaeosol model of As-pollution. We show again that well-colour can be
used both to successfully predict the degree of As-pollution in groundwater,
and to locate regions of buried palaeo-interfluve that will yield As-free
groundwater for the foreseeable future.

Organic carbon
mobilization in a Bangladesh aquifer explained by seasonal monsoon-driven storativity changes.  2012.  Planer-Friedrich
B, Hartig C, Lissner H, Steinborn J, Suss E Hassan MQ et al.  Appl. Geochem.  27(12):2324-2334.  

Abstract:
Currently, the most widely accepted hypothesis to explain
high As concentrations in Bangladesh ground-waters is that dissolved organic C (DOC) reduces solid Fe (hydr)oxides
and mobilizes sorbed arsenate. The nature of the DOC and its release mechanism
are still controversial. Based on weekly to biweekly sampling over the course
of one monsoon cycle at six monitoring wells of different depths, it is
proposed that storativity changes drive natural DOC release from clay-peat
layers to the adjacent aquifers. With a decrease in hydraulic heads during the
dry season, total mineralization and DOC concentrations increased. With the
onset of the rainy season and an increase in hydraulic heads, release of
clay-peat derived components stopped and vertical water displacement due to
groundwater recharge from rainwater occurred, causing aquifer flushing and a
decrease in total mineralization and DOC concentrations. Total As and DOC
concentrations correlated over depth. However, at the depth of maximum
concentrations, the As peak was observed during the rainy season. At present,
the reason for this inverse seasonal trend between As and DOC is unclear.
Higher mineralization or DOC concentrations could lead to increased As sorption
or the increased arsenite release is a time-lag abiotic or microbial response
to the DOC peak. The vulnerability of the Pleistocene aquifer towards increased
As concentrations was found to be much higher than previously assumed. Though
sorption capacities were determined to be higher than in the Holocene aquifer,
probably due to intact Fe (hydr) oxides, long-term continuous As input from
overlying clay and peat layers by the proposed seasonal storativity changes has
led to increased aqueous As concentrations of 85 mu g/L, considerably higher
than drinking water standards. Until now, aquifer and especially aquitard and
aquiclude hydraulics have not been considered sufficiently when attempting to
explain As mobilization in Bangladesh.

Technological options
for the removal of arsenic with special reference to South East Asia. 2012.  Jain CK and RD Singh. J.
Environ.  Manage.  107:1-18.

Abstract:  Arsenic contamination in ground water, used for drinking
purpose, has been envisaged as a problem of global concern. However, arsenic
contamination of ground water in parts of South East Asia is assuming greater proportions and posing a serious threat to the health of
millions of people. A variety of treatment technologies based on oxidation,
co-precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange and membrane process are available
for the removal of arsenic from ground water. However, question remains
regarding the efficiency and applicability/appropriateness of the technologies,
particularly because of low influent arsenic concentration and differences in
source water composition. Some of these methods are quite simple, but the
disadvantage associated with them is that they produce large amounts of toxic
sludge, which needs further treatment before disposal into the environment.
Besides, the system must be economically viable and socially acceptable. In
this paper an attempt has been made to review and update the recent advances
made in the technological development in arsenic removal technologies to explore
the potential of those advances to address the problem of arsenic contamination
in South East Asia.

Evaluation of an
Arsenic Test Kit for Rapid Well Screening in Bangladesh.  2012.  George
CM, Zheng Y, Graziano JH, Bin Rasul S, Hossain Z, Mey JL and A van Geen.  Environ.
Sci. Technol.  46(20):11213-11219.

Abstract:  Exposure to arsenic in groundwater via drinking remains
unabated for millions of villagers in Bangladesh. Since a blanket testing
campaign using test kits almost a decade ago, millions of new wells have been
installed but not tested; thus affordable testing is needed. The performance of
the Arsenic Econo-Quick (EQ.) kit was evaluated by blindly testing 123 wells in Bangladeshand comparing with laboratory measurements; 65 wells were tested twice. A
subset of the same 123 wells was also tested using the Hach EZ kit in the field
and the Digital Arsenator in the laboratory in Bangladesh. The EQ kit correctly
determined the status of 110 (89%) and 113 (92%) out of 123 wells relative to
the WHO guideline (10 mu g/L) and the Bangladeshstandard (SO mu g/L),
respectively. Relative to the WHO guideline, all misclassifications were
underestimates for wells containing between >10 and 27 mu g/L As. Relative
to the BangladeshAs standard, over- and underestimates were evenly distributed. Given its short
reaction time of 10 min relative to the Hach EZ and its lower cost compared to
the Arsenator, the EQ kit appears to have several advantages for well testing
in Bangladeshand elsewhere.

Digital analysis
technique for uncertainty reduction in colorimetric arsenic detection method.  2012.  Perez MEC and FM Francisca. J. Environ.
Sci. Heal. A.  48(2):191-196.  

Abstract: This article proposes an alternative to increase the
reliability and reproducibility of a colorimetric method to measure arsenic
(As) concentrations. The method of analysis developed incorporates a digital
analysis technique to eliminate the operator dependence of results, and As
concentrations are quantitatively determined from digital levels computed from
photographs of the colorimetric reaction that emerges during the test. This
technique allows the sensitivity of the detection to be increased at low
concentration ranges, which is of fundamental importance for the detection of
As given the current acceptable limit for drinking water. The results obtained
show a very good correlation between As concentrations determined by means of
analytical laboratory techniques and the method proposed in this research.

The Role of
Irrigation Techniques in Arsenic Bioaccumulation in Rice (Oryza sativa L.).
2012.  Spanu A, Daga
L, Orlandoni AM and G Sanna. Environ. Sci. Technol.  46(15):8333-8340.

Abstract:  The bioaccumulation of arsenic compounds in rice is of great
concern worldwide because rice is the staple food for billions of people and
arsenic is one of the most toxic and carcinogenic elements at even trace
amounts. The uptake of arsenic compounds in rice comes mainly from its
interaction with system soil/water in the reducing conditions typical of paddy
fields and is influenced by the irrigation used. We demonstrate that the use of
sprinkler irrigation produces rice kernels with a concentration of total
arsenic about fifty times lower when compared to rice grown under continuous
flooding irrigation. The average total amount of arsenic, measured by a fully
validated ICP-MS method, in 37 rice grain genotypes grown with sprinkler
irrigation was 2.8 +/- 2.5 mu g kg(-1), whereas the average amount measured in
the same genotypes grown under identical conditions, but using continuous
flooding irrigation was 163 +/- 23 mu g kg(-1). In addition, we find that the
average concentration of total arsenic in rice grains cultivated under
sprinkler irrigation is close to the total arsenic concentration found in
irrigation waters. Our results suggest that, in our experimental conditions, the
natural bioaccumulation of this element in rice grains may be completely
circumvented by adopting an appropriate irrigation technique.

Abstract:
In the present study, Arsenic (As) concentrations in underground
water, soil, and plants (rice) and their inter-relationships in central and
sub-mountainous Punjab, India were studied. Approximately,
32 % of the tubewell water samples had As concentrations greater than the
maximum permissible limit (10 mu g As L-1) set by the World Health Organization
(WHO) whereas in hand pump waters, As concentrations were within the safe range
(i.e. < 10 mu g As L-1). As concentrations in tubewell waters were
significantly correlated with As concentrations in surface soil (r = 0.57; P
< 0.05) and plant samples (r = 0.27-0.82; P < 0.05) in central and
sub-mountainous Punjab. The estimated daily
intake of As through human consumption in rural and urban population was 0.016
and 0.012 mu g day(-1) kg(-1) body weight respectively.

Quality of Life and

Ahsan H and M Jimba.  J. Health Popul. Nutr.  30(3):262-269.

Abstract:  Contamination of groundwater by inorganic arsenic is one of
the major public-health problems in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional
study was conducted (a) to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) and mental health
status of arsenic-affected patients and (b) to identify the factors associated
with the QOL. Of 1,456 individuals, 521 (35.78%) were selected as case and
control participants, using a systematic random-sampling method. The selection
criteria for cases (n=259) included presence of at least one of the following:
melanosis, leucomelanosis on at least 10% of the body, or keratosis on the
hands or feet. Control (non-patient) participants (n=262) were selected from
the same villages by matching age (+/- 5 years) and gender. The Bangladeshi
version of the WHOQOL-BREF was used for assessing the QOL, and the
self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ) was used for assessing the general mental
health status. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test and analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA), and the WHOQOL-BREF and SRQ scores between the patients
and the non-patients were compared. The mean scores of QOL were significantly
lower in the patients than those in the non-patients of both the sexes.
Moreover, the mental health status of the arsenic-affected patients (mean score
for males=8.4 and females=10.3) showed greater disturbances than those of the
non-patients (mean score for males=5.2 and females=6.1) of both the sexes. The
results of multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors potentially
contributing to the lower QOL scores included: being an arsenic-affected
patient, having lower age, and having lower annual income. Based on the
findings, it is concluded that the QOL and mental health status of the
arsenic-affected patients were significantly lower than those of the
non-patients in Bangladesh.
Appropriate interventions are necessary to improve the well-being of the
patients.

"Arsenic removal during conventional aluminium-based drinking-water treatment",
Jan Gregor, 
Wat. Res.,  35(7):1659-1664 (2001).
Abstract: "The changing forms and concentrations of arsenic through aluminium-based coagulation treatment processes were tracked forthree drinking-water treatment plants. This has provided direct evidenceof where and how arsenic is removed. In general, soluble As(V) is convertedto particulate As(V) by adsorption during rapid mixing, and is removed alongwith naturally-occurring particulate arsenic predominantly by clarification. Soluble As(III) tracks through the treatment processes and is converted tosoluble As(V) during final chlorination. The ability of a water treatmentprocess to achieve the maximum acceptable concentration for arsenic in drinkingwater is dependent on the concentration of As(III) in the source water."

Welham, N.J., Malatt, K.A., Vukcevic, S.,
Minerals Engineering, 13(8-9):911-931, August (2000).
Abstract: The current phases used for the disposal of iron and arsenical wastes, jarosite and scorodite, are examined from a thermodynamic viewpoint using critically assessed data. For scorodite,it is demonstrated that the differences in the solubility reported in theliterature are due to starting phases of differing crystallinity. Contour plots of solubility vs pH and activity are presented for both scorodite and jarosite and show that the minimum solubility is achieved for pH 4-7. However, neither phase is stable towards transformation to goethite withscorodite only stable below pH 4 and jarosite below pH 7 The practicalitiesand implications of the disposal of these phasesis discussed and recommendations for future disposal options are made.
"The effect of solution speciation on iron-sulphur-arsenic-chloridesystems at 298 K",
Welham, N.J., Malatt, K.A., Vukcevic, S.,
Hydrometallurgy, 57(3):209-223, October (2000).
Abstract: The speciation in solution of a number of metallurgically importantiron-bearing systems are calculated from critically reviewed data. In acidicsolution, Fe2+ and Fe3+ are the predominantiron species, although ferric ion hydrolyses to Fe(OH)(2)(+) above pH 2. For sulphate and arsenate, HSO4- and H3AsO4 predominate up to pH similar to 2 where deprotonation occurs and sulphateand dihydrogen arsenate ions become predominant. For arsenite, the major species is H3AsO3 for all acidic pH. In ferric systems where complexinganions are present, the situation is somewhat different, although all systemsare substantially dependent upon the concentrationof the anions. In the presence of arsenate and sulphate, ferric ion readilycomplexes to form charged anions, arsenate complexesbeing more favourable than sulphate in mixed solutions. Chloride playsonly a minor role with complexation only occurring at concentrations close to unity. The importance of the solution speciationis discussed with reference to both leaching of iron minerals and in oxidative leaching using ferric ions.
