Arsenic Contamination in Soil–Water–Plant (Rice, Oryza sativa L.) Continuum in Central and Sub-mountainous Punjab, India

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...

Zusammenfassung:	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 μg As L −1 ) set by the World Health Organization (WHO) whereas in hand pump waters, As concentrations were within the safe range (i.e.
