Abstract
Arsenic contamination in river and ground water was investigated in th e Inagawa area of Kansai district, Japan, from August to October, 1995 , Arsenic has been continually detected at a level about 2 times highe r than the environmental standard in the two tributaries of the Inagaw a River, i.e. the Kimo and the Shio Rivers, The arsenic contamination was probably caused by the topographical change after the Great Hanshi n Earthquake.
