1. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.

2. Spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, northern Tanzania
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : In Tanzania, approximately 76% of the drinking water supplies is dependent on groundwater sources. However, the groundwater in north Tanzania is susceptible to contamination by arsenic and fluoride. This study examines the spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, located in northern Tanzania. READ MORE

3. Long-term Effect of Metallic Iron Sorbents on Arsenic Mobility in an Anoxic Aquifer : An assessment based on long-term column experiments
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Zero valent iron (ZVI) sorbents have successfully remediated soils burdened with different groups of contaminants. When working to alleviate arsenic (As) contamination, the location-specific subsurface chemistry greatly affects the efficiency of the sorbents as it controls the speciation of As and the transformation of the ZVI, as well as the interaction between these (remediating mechanisms).

4. A STATISTICAL APPROACH FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICAL GROUPINGS OF ELEMENTS IN SWEDISH ROCKS WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON ARSENIC AND SULPHUR
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : Groundwater analyses have revealed high concentrations of the toxic element arsenic around Stockholm and Mälardalen, a problem that often is linked to high levels of arsenic in the bedrock and which could be escalated by the many construction projects in the same region. However, it is unknown what part of the bedrock is causing the contamination. READ MORE

5. Modeling groundwater flow using COMSOL to understand the water cycle dynamics and climate change impacts for future groundwater availability in the Matlab region, Southeastern Bangladesh
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Arsenic contamination has been a growing concern for many countries, especially Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, one of the most arsenic-contaminated regions is Chandpur. In this study, groundwater data were analyzed in order to create models to improve knowledge on groundwater flow dynamic in a specific area of Chandpur called Matlab. READ MORE
