Assessment of Arsenic Profiles of Different Environmental Elements in West Bengal (original) (raw)

Abstract

A survey was conducted to asses the arsenic profiles of different elements such as ground water (shallow tube well water & shallow pump water), pond sediment, pond water (surface, column and bottom), plankton, benthos, aquatic weeds, fish tissues, duck meat and duck egg in Kolsur and Hadipur Jhikra I Gram Panchayet (GP) of Deganga Block, North 24 Paraganas Chandpur and Adampur GP of Haroa Block, North 24 Parganas, Baruipur I and Ramnagar Gram Panchayet of Baruipur Block, South 24 Parganas and Belda GP of Narayangar Block, Midnapore, West Bengal. 16 numbers of each category of samples were collected, processed for estimation of total arsenic by standard procedure. Data were statistically analysed. Among different GP, highest total arsenic concentration (mg/l) observed in each element of Kolsur GP followed by Baruipur I GP with lowest concentration in the element of Belda GP. Among different elements, highest concentration of total arsenic was found in pond sediment followed by bentho...
