ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to quantify the naturally occurring arsenic in the groundwater and chemical body burden caused by its ingestion at some villages of Fatehabad district, Haryana, India. The arsenic levels in groundwater were quantified by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). Arsenic concentration in the groundwater was found to be in the range of
