Nitrate Controls on Iron and Arsenic in an Urban Lake

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/296/5577/2373?ck=nck

The article examines the interactions of two toxic chemicals, nitrate and arsenic, in a contaminated lake. The researchers find that the presence of nitrates in a lake may affect the cycling of arsenic and other metals through the lake systems, and may affect how much arsenic is available to affect humans and other organisms.
