Arsenic Pollution: A Global Synthesis

"Overall, a wide-ranging yet detailed study of arsenic pollution in the water environment is provide, covering many of the subfields that make up the discipline of geography, including chemistry, socioeconomics and politics, to name but a few . . . Arsenic Pollution provides a highly effective contemporary synthesis of this field." (Area, 2011)

"This is an excellent book. For those seeking first-time knowledge, as well as those seeking to enhance their existing understanding about arsenic and recent research developments, there is probably no better book currently available." (Geoscientist, September 2009)

"An excellent contribution to the field, and is clear and well written with ample figures and tables, and an extensive bibliography." (Experiment Agriculture, 2009)

‘This book lifts the lid to expose a terrifying global phenomenon – the insidious poisoning of tens of millions of people by arsenic that occurs naturally in rocks and soils and finds its way into the water we drink and the food we eat. The authors convincingly argue that we need both more information and urgent investment in mitigation efforts.’
–Sir Gordon Conway, President of the Royal Geographical Society

‘Arsenic Pollution: A Global Synthesis is the most comprehensive of all the books published in recent times on one of the most discussed public health hazards of the current world. This book will definitely be on the reading list of anyone interested in any aspect of arsenic occurrences in water and soil anywhere in the world.’
