Arsenic Contamination in Groundwater and Its Removal Strategies with Special Emphasis on Nano Zerovalent Iron
(wiley, 2022-12-02)An occurrence of arsenic (As) in an aquatic ecosystem is a major concern because of its very toxic and carcinogenic nature. Groundwater arsenic pollution has been reported globally, notably along the large Indo-Gangetic ... -
Arsenic Induced Alteration in Macromolecule Concentration and Antioxidant System in Two Improved Rice Varieties
(Tamil Nadu Scientific Research Organization (TNSRO), 2016)Arsenic contamination of rice has been highlighted as major issue throughout the world as it is a staple food for millions. The aim of study was to analyze the effect of different concentration of arsenic on the germination, ... -
Arsenic induced physiological changes in improved varieties of rice grown in Malwa region of Punjab
(Society for Advancement of Human and Nature (SADHNA), 2015)Rice is a major staple food throughout the world. However metal contamination of rice has been recognized as a new disaster on large scale. Two rice cultivars viz PR 116 and PR 118 were grown in vitro to study the effect ... -
Comparative transcriptome profiling reveals the reprogramming of gene networks under arsenic stress in Indian mustard
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2019)Arsenic is a widespread toxic metalloid that is classified as a class I carcinogen known to cause adverse health effects in humans. In the present study, we investigated arsenic accumulation potential and comparative gene ... -
Critical review on uranium and arsenic content and their chemical mobilization in groundwater: A case study of the Malwa region Punjab, India
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-05-03)The presence of pollutants like uranium and arsenic in the groundwater can have a terrible impact on people's health (both radiologically and toxicologically) and their economic conditions. Their infiltration into groundwater ... -
Exogenous application of biostimulants for As stress tolerance in crop plants
(Elsevier, 2023-08-04)Arsenic (As) is a nonessential toxic metalloid existing in two different inorganic forms: arsenite As (III) and arsenate As (V) which cause hindrance in plant developmental processes and are hazardous to human beings. As ... -

(Elsevier, 2023-08-04)Arsenic (As) is a nonessential toxic metalloid existing in two different inorganic forms: arsenite As (III) and arsenate As (V) which cause hindrance in plant developmental processes and are hazardous to human beings. As ... -
Geochemical relationship and translocation mechanism of arsenic in rice plants: A case study from health prone south west Punjab, India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Rice is a recognised hyperaccumulator of arsenic (As) and is a serious concern for rice varieties grown in As contaminated soil-water systems. In this regard, groundwater, soil and rice-plant samples (two varieties: PR122 ... -
Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of Arsenic Phytoremediation
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)Arsenic (As) is a widespread carcinogenic pollutant. Phytoremediation is the most suited technology for alleviating the As contamination of soil. In this review, we have discussed the uptake mechanism and the associated ... -
Pseudomonas citronellolis alleviates arsenic toxicity and maintains cellular homeostasis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2022-05-19)Arsenic is a hazardous metalloid that causes detrimental effects on plant growth and metabolism. Plants accumulate arsenic in edible parts that consequently enter the food chain leading to many health problems. Metal ...
