Arsenic contamination in groundwater poses a significant threat to human health globally, particularly in regions where natural geological conditions contribute to elevated levels of arsenic. This review examines the widespread issue of arsenic contamination, focusing on its implications for human health and available remediation strategies. Arsenic, a toxic metalloid, is known to cause severe health problems, including various forms of cancer, skin lesions, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. The review synthesizes current research on the sources, distribution, and pathways of arsenic contamination, elucidating the complex interactions between geological, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges associated with arsenic mitigation and the efficacy of various remediation technologies, such as filtration, adsorption, and oxidation techniques. In addition, the review discusses viable sustainable methods of arsenic remediation such as cost-effective, scalable and environmentally friendly. The purpose of periodically conducting literature reviews is to continuously update this information, which changes rapidly; it also flags knowledge gaps for the research community. Our review was approached from a public health focus, with the idea of briefing policymakers concerned with the health of arsenic-affected populations.

摘要

Arsenic contamination in groundwater poses a significant threat to human health globally, particularly in regions where natural geological conditions contribute to elevated levels of arsenic. This review examines the widespread issue of arsenic contamination, focusing on its implications for human health and available remediation strategies. Arsenic, a toxic metalloid, is known to cause severe health problems, including various forms of cancer, skin lesions, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. The review synthesizes current research on the sources, distribution, and pathways of arsenic contamination, elucidating the complex interactions between geological, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges associated with arsenic mitigation and the efficacy of various remediation technologies, such as filtration, adsorption, and oxidation techniques. In addition, the review discusses viable sustainable methods of arsenic remediation such as cost-effective, scalable and environmentally friendly. The purpose of periodically conducting literature reviews is to continuously update this information, which changes rapidly; it also flags knowledge gaps for the research community. Our review was approached from a public health focus, with the idea of briefing policymakers concerned with the health of arsenic-affected populations.
