Groundwater is one of the primary sources of water for both drinking and industrial use in northeastern Mexican territory, around 46% of the total, due to the lack of precipitation during the year and solar radiation index. The presence of arsenic in brackish soil and groundwater is a severe health issue, specifically in semi-arid and arid regions in the north of Mexico. Additionally, it represents the only source of drinking water in communities far from big cities, mainly due to the absence of hydric infrastructure.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alejandra Moreno-Barcenas"

  • - Alejandra Moreno-Barcenas focuses on the environmental impact and remediation of arsenic contamination in water sources, particularly in northeastern Mexico, where groundwater is a vital resource due to limited precipitation.
  • - Her research highlights the synergy of jute fibers with nano-zero valent iron (nZVI) and graphene oxide (GO) to enhance filtration systems for effectively removing arsenic from water, addressing a significant public health concern in semi-arid regions.
  • - The findings underscore the potential for employing innovative materials in dynamic flow filtration systems, providing a sustainable approach to improving water quality in areas heavily affected by arsenic pollution.
