Groundwater arsenic measurements from Araihazar, Bangladesh

This resource contains two datasets. Both the dataset contains groundwater arsenic measurements (with geo coordinates) from Araihazar, Bangladesh. All arsenic concentration is in ppb (ug/L).

Dataset 1 contains paired measurements of arsenic in 950 groundwater wells. Arsenic was measured using a field kit and in the lab by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Van Geen et al., 2014).

Dataset 2 contains >6500 lab measured groundwater arsenic concentrations. The dataset was originally analyzed in van Geen et al., 2003.
