Assessment of arsenic mobility in a shallow aquifer from Bevera Valley Basin (Northern Italy)
Elevated levels of arsenic (As) have been reported from clay peat and silt aquifer systems in the Bevera Valley Basin, Northern Italy. A sampling survey was carried out on 17 monitoring boreholes completed in the bedrock aquifer. All collected samples were analyzed for major ion concentrations and trace element chemistry. Parameters like pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), and redox potential (Eh) were also measured in situ using digital instruments.
