An overview of arsenic pollution over four North-East countries of Europe influenced by natural and anthropogenic sources /
Arsenic (As) is one of the most important elements found in the environment. It is a toxic metalloid that is responsible for the contamination of soil/sediments and water courses due to various natural and anthropogenic processes. This may lead to adverse effects on human health, therefore it is imp...
