Arsenic Remediation of Food and Water: Technological Interventions and Perspectives from Developing Countries

This book explores the challenges faced by developing countries to understand and manage the risks of arsenic pollution of groundwater and resultant contamination of food and water by highly toxic arsenic. The book through its 22 Chapters brings together scientific community from 9 countries namely: Burkina Faso, India, Indonesia, Malawi, Mexico, Myanmar, Palestine, United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe to share their expertise in different aspects of managing arsenic contamination of groundwater and reducing arsenic exposure of food and water through technological interventions. In addition, technologies developed and adopted for cost-effective arsenic remediation of groundwater leading to the formulation of appropriate national policies dealing with reducing arsenic exposure in food and water in the developing world are also discussed in this book.
