Abstract
AbstractArsenic is ubiquitous in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere of the earth. Hot springs in Japan have arsenic concentrations as high as 25 mg kg−1, Generally, the hotter the water the higher are the arsenic concentrations. On average, acidic waters have higher arsenic concentrations than alkaline waters. The arsenic concentrations are positively correlated with the antimony and the lead concentrations. The daily discharge of arsenic from a geothermal well may reach a total of 220 kg. The arsenic concentrations, the temperatures, and the pH values for some Japanese thermal waters are tabulated.
