There is a thick layer of newer alluvium containing sand, silt and clay, which spread out by numerous rivers that originate from the Himalayas. Most environmental arsenic problems, recognized so far, are the result of mobilization under natural conditions. Thus, the occurrence of arsenic in groundwater in the BDP and Gangetic plains has been recognized as of geological origin with spread out resulting from the mobilization under natural hydro-geologic conditions.
Effect on health
Various types of skin manifestations and other arsenic toxicity were observed from melanosis, keratosis, hyperkeratosis, dorsal keratosis, and non pitting edema to gangrene and 4 cancer. Overall prevalence of clinical neuropathy was noted in various studies in populations of 24- Pargana-North, 24- Pargana-South, Murshidabad, Nadia, and Bardhaman districts of West Bengal and in the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. The children in the arsenic contaminated areas are often more affected than the adults. Most of the population suffering from arsenic skin lesions is from a poor socio-economic background. The following features were commonly noted (1983-2006) from the arsenic endemic areas of India: (i) Skin itching to sun rays, burning and watering of eyes, weight loss, loss of appetite, weakness, lethargy and easily fatigued limited the physical activities and working capacities, (ii) Chronic respiratory complaints were also common. Chronic cough with or without expectoration was evident in more than 50%, (iii) Gastrointestinal symptoms of anorexia, nausea, dyspepsia, altered taste, pain in abdomen, enlarged liver and spleen, and ascites (collection of fluid in abdomen), (iv) Moderate to severe anemia was evident in some cases, (v) Conjunctival congestion, Leg edema was less common.
Removal of Arsenic from water
We manufacture iron coated sand for removal of arsenic V & III. The system is based on iron coated sand. It is easy to handle and maintain. It does not require complicated dosing of chemicals and non-toxic and non-hazardous. Satisfactory and reliable performance and low cost of operation and maintenance has made us a market leader.
