Ambagarh Tehsil, Rajnandgaon, Central India, is a heavily polluted area due to mineralization of geogenic As and HMs in the environment, i.e., water, plants, and soil. In this work, contamination extents and sources of As and HMs (Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb) in water, soil, and common plants were investigated to understand the main entry route of these toxic elements in human and domestic animals. The mean concentrations of total As in surface water, groundwater, surface soil, plant leaves, and animal stool samples of 0.031±0.009¿¿mg¿mL-1, 0.360±0.114¿¿mg¿mL-1, 192±65¿¿mg¿kg-1, 5.61±4.78¿¿mg¿kg-1, and 51.0±7.6¿¿mg¿kg-1, respectively, were found. The speciation, sources, enrichment, and toxicities of the As and other HMs are discussed, together with some associated health hazards, exemplified in domestic animals exposed to the contaminated water and food. 000097358 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000097358 592__ $$a0.346$$b2020 000097358 593__ $$aChemical Engineering (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 593__ $$aEnvironmental Chemistry$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 593__ $$aWater Science and Technology$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 593__ $$aGeotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 593__ $$aWaste Management and Disposal$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 593__ $$aEnvironmental Engineering$$c2020$$dQ2 000097358 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion 000097358 700__ $$aSahu, Parvin Kumar 000097358 700__ $$aPatel, Khageshwar Singh 000097358 700__ $$aLata, Lesia 000097358 700__ $$aMilosh, Huber 000097358 700__ $$aCorns, Warren T. 000097358 700__ $$aAllen, Jasmina 000097358 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2713-2786$$aMartín Ramos, Pablo$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000097358 7102_ $$15011$$2500$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
