Arsenic levels in Delhi's groundwater studied using hydride generator accessory coupled with atomic absorption spectrophotometer

The paper concludes that arsenic contamination in Delhi soils could be the result of dumping chemical rich garbage into open landfills

This is a paper from the Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry. In this paper hydride generator accessory coupled with atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to study the arsenic levels in the groundwaters of Delhi. The arsenic levels in the groundwater samples range from 0.0170 to 0.100 ppm. The conclusion made from the study was that the arsenic containing sediments and percolation of chemicals in to the soils as the result of dumping of garbage rich in chemicals into open landfills could be the possible source of arsenic in the groundwater resources of Delhi.
