摘要：
Arsenic (As) contamination in the groundwaters of North Eastern states of India poses a serious threat to human health. A study has thus been carried out to investigate the extent of arsenic contamination in parts of state of Mizoram and Assam. The study shows that As contamination is extensive in the low-lying areas of the Barak valley, located mainly to the North of the Mizo hills region. Arsenic contamination in the Surma basin is confined to the Holocene alluvium.
