... where As (V) is converted to As (III) with decoupling of Fe studies. Nevertheless, several researchers have also reported that infiltration of naturally degraded pond water into the shallow aquifer have been influencing the microenvironment, thereby resulting in As release [16][17][18][19]. Researchers are also keen to focus on the characterization of organic matter existing both in sedimentary and aqueous environment. ...

... Previous literatures [60,61,62,63] have reported that the global climate and sea level transitions during Pleistocene to the Holocene played a crucial role in shaping the distribution of As in North East India. During the Pleistocene, the earth experienced multiple glacialinterglacial cycles [64]. ...

... mg kg -1 , and 0.3-11.0 mg kg -1 as reported by Swaine 1990;Saha et al. 2016, andDai et al. 2005 respectively. Arsenic is a known carcinogen. ...

... The land-use pattern of the study area consists of farming land (up to ~ 75%), where rice cultivation is the foremost agricultural practice. The climate is characteristically warm and humid (temperature ranges between 10 and 40 0 C, average relative humidity > 60%) with yearly precipitation ranging between 1172 and 1635 mm (mean 1436 mm) (Majumder et al., 2016;Nath et al., 2005). ...

... The arsenic in water has mainly come from one of the emissions of agricultural and industrial wastewater, which contains excessive pesticides, herbicides, and wood preservatives, and the second was the deposition of arsenic in the atmosphere. The combustion of arsenic-bearing coal and crude oil can make a lot of arsenic-containing compound particles enter the atmospheric environment in form of dust and then enter surface water by means of sedimentation, and the dissolution of natural minerals (Jerome et al. 2015). With the development of industry and agriculture, the total annual discharge of industrial wastewater increased over decades, and the amount of arsenic entering the environment increased (Hu et al. 2019, Sun et al. 2016). ...

... Simultaneously, the importance of rural sanitation (single/double pit latrines) in public health management had been campaigned by the state and the local governments with a vision to make the districts open defecation free. The synergistic effect of both sanitation installations vis-a-vis groundwater development has been ignored [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. ...

... The worldwide groundwater arsenic (As) contamination scenario is a well-known environmental and perpetual physiological concern causing a tremendous risk to human population [1]. Intake of As-contaminated groundwater and different varieties of rice grain as a regular diet reveals the exposure pathway and potential risk to human health as well [2,3]. Rice is generally grown in flooded soil conditions, where As accumulation in different plant parts is dependent on geo-environmental (biotic and abiotic) factors. ...
