“…In the present study, mean concentration of arsenic in soil were 24.1 mgkg-1 to 40.1 mgkg-1 (dry weight) with an average of 32.62 mgkg-1, 27.2 mgkg-1 to 40.1 mgkg-1 with an average of 33.8 mgkg-1, 25.5 mgkg-1 to 37.4 mgkg-1 with an average of 33.26 mgkg-1, 28.7 mgkg-1 to 34.1 mgkg-1 with an average of 30.34 mgkg-1 and 30.5 mgkg-1 to 38.7 mgkg-1 with an average of 34.7 mgkg-1 at arsenic affected Joypurhat, Akkelpur, Kalai, Khetlal and Pachbibiupazila of Joypurhat district, respectively. However, a similar study was performed before by Kabir (2017) on soil Arsenic in B.Baria, Faridpur, Tala, and Sonargong regions in Bangladesh respectively with the findings of mean Arsenic 9. 42, 13.15, 20.40, and 8.82 ppm.…”

“…However, the two inorganic species i.e., arsenite (H 2 AsO 3 ) and arsenate (H 2 AsO 4 ) are mainly found in Bangladeshi groundwater (Fazal et al, 2001) and create Arsenic pollution in river water. In Bangladesh, nearly 35 million people are in a vulnerable situation to Arsenic contamination due to the drinking water that contains more than 50 micro g/L of arsenic (Kabir, 2017).…”

Arsenic contamination is one of the major concerns today in Bangladesh. Various potential and threatening health risks for humankind could be occurred due to the consumption of Arsenic which has mixed with the food chain like fish and vegetables. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed 100 samples of deep tube well water, sediment, soil, vegetable, and fish samples, collected from five different Upazila of Joypurhat district in Bangladesh. The farming process, unplanned groundwater consumption, etc. could be marked as the main culprit for arsenic contamination in a region. However, Arsenic concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy followed by the wet digestion method. From this analysis, a shocking result has been found that almost every sample contains arsenic and its level crossed the permissible limit set by WHO guidelines for water and food samples (vegetable and rice) which is an alarming issue for southeast Asian countries.
