Arsenic pollution
Arsenic pollution in groundwater is a worldwide issue due to its toxicity and chronic effects on human health. This problem has generated an increasing interest in the use of different treatment technologies to remove arsenic from contaminated groundwater sources. Treatment wetlands are a cost-effective natural system successfully used for removing different organic and inorganic pollutants and have shown high capability for removing arsenic. In this study, the main contaminant removal processes occurring in subsurfaceflow treatment wetlands treating groundwater were reviewed. The redox conditions, pH and temperature, prevailing in the treatment wetlands were analyzed and linked to elucidate the possible arsenic removal processes.
