Abstract: The world’s largest arsenic (As) mass poisoning have been reported from West Bengal, India in early eighties.. Arsenic as a Heavy metals are the natural constituents of the earth crust. The level of As have been found to be particular alarmining in India, Bangladesh, China, Taiwan, United states and many other countries. The health risks of As exposure due to the installation of thousand of shallow tube wells in Bengal Delta Plain (BDP) is known, However, microbial contamination of shallow aquifer is another important issue that can be linked with As mobilization and water quality. Different types of Bacteria influence As geochemistry by their metabolic pathway including oxidation, reduction, and mobilization reaction that highly regulates arsenic speciation in our environment
