Chemistry World July 21, 2006 Maria Burke	Sourcing Bangladesh's Arsenic Arsenic contaminates millions of people's drinking water in West Bengal and Bangladesh, but scientists now think they might have figured out how the toxic element gets into the water in the first place.
Chemistry World October 11, 2011 David Bradley	Hope for Arsenic Free Water From Deep Underground Researchers have found that arsenic adsorption by sediments could help prevent the salts intruding into groundwater more than 150 meters deep.
Geotimes February 2006 Megan Sever	Arsenic Leaching Into Water From Soil Researchers suggest that the rivers that drain the mountains are still bringing in the arsenic and depositing it throughout Bangladesh during annual floods. During the dry period, the arsenic would be drawn down to the aquifer, thus replenishing the aquifer's arsenic levels.
Chemistry World April 23, 2008 Victoria Gill	Global fluoride and arsenic contamination of water mapped Swiss researchers have mapped the levels of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater throughout the world.
