Study Research Discussion: Effects of Consuming Arsenic Contaminated Water
Introduction
My research paper seeks to identify the health effects generated upon consumption of water that is contaminated with arsenic. Concerning research development, I sought to acquire information from secondary sources more so from scholarly journals. In relation, I identified the article “Arsenic in Water Contamination & Toxic Effect on Human Health: Current Scenario of India,” authored by Mahipal Singh and Rajeev Kumar.
Article research Discussion
Question 1
To identify the most appropriate journal, I use the words “Effects of Arsenic contaminated water on human health.” upon searching the outlined terms, I got a series of options upon which I selected the most suitable journal.
Question 2
The journal has the title “Arsenic in Water Contamination & Toxic Effect on Human Health: Current Scenario of India,” authored by Mahipal Singh and Rajeev Kumar. Regarding the year of publication, the journal got published on 25th July 2018 under the Journal of Forensic Sciences and Criminal Investigations.
Question 3
Concerning the validity of the source, the journal is peer-reviewed, which upholds its authenticity for research purposes. Secondly, the source provides information concerning sources of arsenic contamination in water sources and the effects of the pollution on human beings. In relation, the topic of the journal aligns with my research paper, which makes it a reliable source for my study.
Question 4
The article develops a study on the various factors contributing to arsenic water pollution in India and the effects of the contaminated water on Indian citizens. In particular, the paper develops a study on pollution development within water sources that supply water to inhabitants, more so rivers, lakes, and oceans. Based on the pollution, the paper further develops a study on the health risks related to the consumption of the contaminated water.
Question 5
Regarding the evidence of the information developed under the journal, the authors have researched the causes of water pollution in India. In relation, they have identified the sources of arsenic contamination and their percentage of arsenic concentration. Concerning the effects of water arsenic contamination, the scholars have conducted studies upon which they determine the health problems related to arsenic poisoning.
Question 6
In the course of my study, I will use the article to acquire information on the effects of arsenic contamination on human beings. Also, I will enlarge my study scope to identify the sources of arsenic contamination in water bodies upon which I can develop recommendations on how to control arsenic poisoning related to contaminated water.
