Review synthesizes arsenic biogeochemical cycling across ecosystems, suggesting a complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic processes.

Key Points

This review aims to synthesize the complex biogeochemical cycling of arsenic across various environmental compartments.
Review of arsenic cycling in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments
Examination of natural processes and anthropogenic impacts on arsenic dynamics
Exploration of microbial activity and its role in arsenic speciation and bioavailability
Describes chemical speciation as central to arsenic mobility and transformation
Highlights the difference between inorganic arsenic in abiotic reservoirs and organoarsenicals in biotic tissues
Illustrates how human activities like mining and agriculture alter arsenic pathways without increasing total arsenic content
