Dissimilatory reduction of selenate and arsenate in nature Dissimilatory reduction of selenate and arsenate in nature
This chapter discusses the biogeochemical reduction of selenate (Se(VI)) and arsenate (As(V)) when they enter anoxic environments and are used as electron acceptors for the oxidation of organic matter. These reductions are of a dissimilative nature and support the anaerobic growth of selected bacteria which conserve energy from this process. The chapter summarizes what is known about the...

An overview of arsenic mass-poisoning in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India An overview of arsenic mass-poisoning in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India
The largest mass poisoning in the world, perhaps in history, is happening in West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh. Many thousands of people suffer from arsenic skin disorders and are dying from cancer. About 19 million are estimated to be at risk. The discovery of the arsenic poisoning from tubewell drinking water was made in 1983, but it took about 10 years to be formally recognized as a...
