Antimicrobial resistance is a major health problem, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh, where there is a paucity of information on resistance patterns and prevalence of antimicrobial determinants. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of resistance, i...

As a consequence of global warming, increase of water temperature is likely to alter physiological functions of fish. Hence, we examined the effects of high temperature on blood glucose, hematological parameters (hemoglobin, Hb; red blood cell, RBC; and white blood cell, WBC), and nuclear and cellul...

In Bangladesh, irrigation of dry season rice (boro) with arsenic-contaminated groundwater is leading to increased As levels in soils and rice, and to concerns about As-induced yield reduction. Arsenic concentrations and speciation in soil porewater are strongly influenced by redox conditions, and th...

Laboratory incubations of sediment collected from an arsenic-contaminated aquifer in Bangladesh revealed a hitherto undocumented pool of biodegradable sedimentary organic carbon. Sampling, homogenizing, handling, and/or experimentation with the sediment released organic carbon, causing dissolved org...

Irrigation of rice fields in Bangladesh with arsenic-contaminated groundwater transfers tens of cubic kilometers of water and thousands of tons of arsenic from aquifers to rice fields each year. Here we combine observations of infiltration patterns with measurements of porewater chemical composition...

Experiments were conducted to analyze processes impacting arsenic transport in irrigation water flowing over bare rice-field soils in Bangladesh. Dissolved concentrations of As, Fe, P, and Si varied over space and time, according to whether irrigation water was flowing or static. Initially, under fl...

Flow through a groundwater‐irrigated rice field in Bangladesh was characterized with data collected from a transect of tensiometers and time domain reflectometry sensors, novel tracer tests, infiltration tests, soil core analyses, and calculated water budgets. The combined data captured the dynamic ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Layered double hydroxide compounds ( LDHs ) have been applied for the removal of oxyanions including arsenate (As(V)). However, the aim of this present research is to develop a LDH to treat arsenite (As( III )). Both batch and column sorption studies were conducted to assess the ...

The River Buriganga, which runs past Dhaka City, is at present one of the most polluted rivers in Bangladesh. Dhaka City is very densely populated and will be one of the ten ‘Mega Cities’ by the year 2000. However, only a small fraction of the total wastewater being generated in the City is treated....

Aggarwal et al . ( [1][1] ) and van Geen et al . ( [2][2] ) point to selected data in ( [3][3] ) to craft contrasting regional generalizations about the cause of high arsenic concentrations in groundwater in Bangladesh. Aggarwal et al . argue that arsenic mobilization is related to continuing

Abstract Groundwater recharge affects water budgets and groundwater quality on the deltas and floodplains of South and Southeast Asia. Rain and flooding rivers recharge groundwater during the monsoon; irrigated rice fields and surface water bodies recharge aquifers during the dry season. Groundwater...

Rotenone, commonly used as a pesticide in agriculture and as a piscicide in aquaculture, is a toxic compound that causes dopaminergic neuronal cell loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the brain. At the neuroendocrine level, dopamine (DA) drives behavioral (locomotion, emotion, feeding, and...
