The mossy open slopes left behind by open pit mines, notorious for their high levels of arsenic and copper concentrates, were the perfect breeding grounds for P. melanocaulon, which thrive in lush clusters that overpower the other plants in the Surigao del Norte mining site, Claveria says. Curious about the fern, they recovered samples and ...

Arsenic concentrations in twigs and leaves collected in less impacted soils (containing up to 110 mg/kg of As) reached a maximum of 20.8 mg/kg in mesquite twigs and 27.8 mg/kg in mesquite leaves. Differences of several orders of magnitude in surface substrate As concentrations were not reflected in plant As contents.

Health Canada and the International Agency for Research on Cancer consider arsenic a human cancer-causing agent. Its effects have been studied in a population in Taiwan where the drinking water contains naturally high levels of arsenic (over 0.35 ppm).The results suggest that consuming drinking water with very high levels of arsenic over a lifetime, can increase the risk of cancer in internal ...

In a highly affected area of Bangladesh, 21.4% of all deaths in the area were attributed to arsenic levels above 10 μg/L in drinking-water (6). A similar dose-response function has been found in other parts of Bangladesh, and these results have been combined with national survey data to estimate an annual death toll of nearly 43 000 (7).

Inorganic arsenic compounds are in soils, sediments, and groundwater. These compounds occur either naturally, or as a result of mining, ore smelting, or when using arsenic for industrial purposes. Organic arsenic compounds exist mainly in fish and shellfish. In the past people used inorganic forms of arsenic in pesticides and paint pigment.

Data showed that the arsenic concentration in mining wastewater (300-500 t d −1) was 250-450 mg L −1, in smelting wastewater (3000 t d −1) was 3.6-26.4 mg L −1, and the emission of arsenic into the surface water reached 86-304 kg d −1. In addition, the exhaust gas (10 3 t y −1) contained a large amount of arsenic trioxide dust.

Arsenite and arsenate are the predominant forms of Arsenic (As) in soils and are deemed to be biologically active and more toxic than many organoarsenicals ( Caussy, 2003 ). Under oxidized soil conditions, As is mainly present as arsenate and strongly adsorbed on iron (hydr)oxides ( Goldberg, 2002, Dixit and Hering, 2003, Weber et al., 2010 ).

Arsenic Removal. Arsenic (As) is a semi-metal element that has no taste, odor, or color, and is not easily dissolved. It occurs naturally in the environment, as a by-product of mining, or agricultural areas when materials containing arsenic are used as industrial poisons. Arsenic is considered highly toxic and a carcinogen.

Arsenic was primarily in the residual form (56-69%) ( Fig. 3 b), in line with a previous report that the residual As accounted for 65% of the total As in river sediment ( Beesley et al., 2010 ). Notably, the first two fractionations (F1 and F2) were regarded as the mobilizable fractionation in SEP ( Guo et al., 2022 ).

Many areas of Nova Scotia have elevated arsenic levels, not just the gold mine tailing sites. How did arsenic get into the environment at old gold mines? When gold was mined in Nova Scotia in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the gold-bearing rock that also contained arsenic was crushed and spread over liquid mercury to remove the gold.
