Minimizing arsenic intake from food consumption is a key aspect of the public health response in As-contaminated regions. In many of these regions, rice is the predominant staple food. Here we present a validated maximum allowable concentration of to...

Effect of metal fractions on rice grain metal uptake and biological parameters in mica mines waste contaminated soils. (2022)
Journal Article
Ghosh, S., Mondal, S., Mandal, J., Mukherjee, A., & Bhattachryya, P. (2023). Effect of metal fractions on rice grain metal uptake and biological parameters in mica mines waste contaminated soils. Journal of Environmental Sciences, 136, 313-324. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jes.2022.10.038

Heavy metals from mica waste not only deteriorate the soil quality but also results in the uptake of metals in the crop. The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of different fractions of metals on the uptake in rice, soil micr...

Recent advances in the bioremediation of arsenic‐contaminated soils: a mini review (2022)
Journal Article
Laha, A., Sengupta, S., Bhattacharya, P., Mandal, J., Bhattacharyya, S., & Bhattacharyya, K. (2022). Recent advances in the bioremediation of arsenic‐contaminated soils: a mini review. World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 38(189), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11274-022-03375-5

The carcinogenic metalloid arsenic (As), owing to its persistent behavior in elevated levels in soils, aggravates environmental and human health concerns. The current strategies used in the As decontamination involve several physical and chemi- cal a... Read More about Recent advances in the bioremediation of arsenic‐contaminated soils: a mini review.

Meta-analysis enables prediction of the maximum permissible arsenic concentration in Asian paddy soil (2021)
Journal Article
Mandal, J., Sengupta, S., Sarkar, S., Mukherjee, A., Wood, M., Hutchinson, S., & Mondal, D. (2021). Meta-analysis enables prediction of the maximum permissible arsenic concentration in Asian paddy soil. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 9, 760125. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2021.760125

It is now well-established that not just drinking water, but irrigation water contaminated with arsenic (As) is an important source of human As exposure through water-soil-rice transfer. While drinking water As has a permissible, or guideline value,... Read More about Meta-analysis enables prediction of the maximum permissible arsenic concentration in Asian paddy soil.
