Heavy metal toxicity is a global health concern. Arsenic is a top ranked toxic metalloid occurring naturally but exposed unavailingly because of human interference. Groundwater arsenic contamination is a serious health issue in West Bengal and other states of India. The present study is designed to find out the toxicity status of arsenic in groundwater of three districts in Western Uttar Pradesh viz. Moradabad, Rampur and Bareilly. For this purpose, samples were collected from different depths of marked sites in selected districts at various times of the year using the prescribed protocols and subjected to AAS analysis. Thus obtained numerical results were tabulated and analysed statistically to calculate the average arsenic content and contamination factor of selected districts.
