Arsenic Pollution summarizes the most current research on the distribution and causes of arsenic pollution, its impact on health and agriculture, and solutions by way of water supply, treatment, and water resource management.
- Provides the first global and interdisciplinary account of arsenic pollution occurrences
- Integrates geochemistry, hydrology, agriculture, and water supply and treatment for the first time
- Options are highlighted for developing alternative water sources and methods for arsenic testing and removal
- Appeals to specialists in one discipline seeking an overview of the work being done in other disciplines
