摘要

Millions of people living in the Ganges delta of Bangladesh and West Bengal drink ground-water contaminated by arsenic. Many more ingest arsenic-contaminated water drawn from wells along the Mekong and Red rivers of Cambodia and Vietnam, and probably also along the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Arsenic dissolves in groundwater from naturally deposited sediments, but its localization within sedimentary aquifers is puzzling - wells from which severely contaminated water is drawn can be found a mere ten metres away from safe wells. On page 505 of this issue, Polizzotto et al. describe the first study that traces the contamination from its source. The authors show that, at a site near the Mekong River, arsenic-laden groundwater originates from ponds. This water flows horizontally through the aquifer, beneath groundwater that percolates through soils, to contaminate downstream wells.
