Mineralogy and geochemistry of shallow sediments of Sonargaon, Bangladesh and implications for arsenic dynamics: focusing on the role of organic matter

Mineralogy and geochemistry of modern shallow sediments (up to 5m thick) within the zone
of water table fluctuations were studied to determine the likely sources and processes
responsible for releasing As into groundwater. Samples were collected from different
geological settings with varying groundwater As concentrations during dry (December 2005)
and wet (September 2006) seasons at Sonargaon, Bangladesh. Stratigraphic sequences of
the studied sediments showed three distinct lithofacies, viz. clayey-silt, silty-clay, and silty …
