This preliminary study reports for the first time that part of the rural population in the Allahabad district and the urban population in the Suklaganj-Kanpur of Unnao district in the Allahabad-Kanpur track of the upper Ganga plain are drinking and using for agricultural irrigation arsenic contaminated water (maximum arsenic concentrations in drinking water and urine are 707 and 1744 µg L⁻¹ respectively) mostly from shallow hand tube-wells (depth 7.5–40 m) without knowing that these are arsenic contaminated.

This may take some time to load.
