Journal Article
Rahman, M., Alauddin, M., Alauddin, S., Siddique, A., Islam, M., Agosta, G., …Naidu, R. (2021). Bioaccessibility and speciation of arsenic in children’s diets and health risk assessment of an endemic area in Bangladesh. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 403, 124064. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124064

This study determines the bioaccessibility of toxic and carcinogenic arsenic (As) in composite food samples and evaluates potential exposure from food intake in Bangladesh children. Total As (tAs), inorganic As (iAs) and bioaccessible As (BAs) in foo...

Arsenic exposure from food exceeds that from drinking water in endemic area of Bihar, India (2020)
Journal Article
Mondal, D., Rahman, M., Suman, S., Sharma, P., Siddique, A., Rahman, A., …Polya, D. (2021). Arsenic exposure from food exceeds that from drinking water in endemic area of Bihar, India. Science of the Total Environment, 754, 142082. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142082

Extensive evidence of elevated arsenic (As) in the food-chain, mainly rice, wheat and vegetables exists. Nevertheless, the importance of exposure from food towards total As exposure and associated health risks in areas with natural occurring As in dr...

Association of low-level inorganic arsenic exposure from rice with age-standardized mortality risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in England and Wales (2020)
Journal Article
Xu, L., Polya, D., Li, Q., & Mondal, D. (2020). Association of low-level inorganic arsenic exposure from rice with age-standardized mortality risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in England and Wales. Science of the Total Environment, 743, 140534. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140534

Adverse health outcomes, including death from cardiovascular disease (CVD), arising from chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) are well documented. Consumption of rice is a major iAs exposure route for over 3 billion people, however, there is s...

Agrowaste derived biochars impregnated with ZnO for removal of arsenic and lead in water (2020)
Journal Article
Mondal, D., Cruz, G., Rimaycuna, J., Soukup, K., Gomez, M., Solis, J., & Lang, J. (2020). Agrowaste derived biochars impregnated with ZnO for removal of arsenic and lead in water. Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, 8(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jece.2020.103800

Using residual biomass for biochar production to be applied for water treatment is a cost effective and environmental-friendly alternative to activated carbon. However, biochars are materials with low textural properties (total specific area and tota... Read More about Agrowaste derived biochars impregnated with ZnO for removal of arsenic and lead in water.
