From hydrogeochemical genesis to public health risk: Unveiling the links between geogenic arsenic, fluoride, and iodine in groundwater

Key Points

• Geogenic arsenic levels correlate with elevated public health risks, emphasizing the need for monitoring.
• Key evidence indicates that groundwater contamination with arsenic may exceed safe limits in over 30 communities.
• Observational analysis across various regions examines the hydrogeochemical factors influencing groundwater quality and its health impact.
• Findings highlight the necessity for interventions to mitigate health risks related to arsenic and fluoride exposure in vulnerable populations.
