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. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.346 2020 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2020 Q2 Environmental Chemistry 2020 Q2 Water Science and Technology 2020 Q2 Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology 2020 Q2 Waste Management and Disposal 2020 Q2 Environmental Engineering 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion Sahu, Parvin Kumar Patel, Khageshwar Singh Lata, Lesia Milosh, Huber Corns, Warren T.
