| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Groundwater arsenic contamination was analyzed targeting the villages of large river deltas in Asia using the water environment - microbiological reaction system. The arsenic concentration of groundwater (well water), which exceeded by far the water standard in every village, was related to the oxidation-reduction potential and ammonium-nitrogen concentration of the groundwater. The concentrations of arsenic, nitrogen and carbon of peaty sediments, collected from underground, were high. From an analysis on the nitrogen and carbon, the supply source of nitrogen in both groundwater and peaty sediments was chemical fertilizers and/or soil organic matter, and peaty sediments were originated from aquatic plants. From a laboratory experiment, reducing bacteria were observed in peaty sediments, and the multiplication of the reducing bacteria caused the release of arsenic from the sediments to groundwater.
