"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)
Sir Gordon Conway, President of the Royal Geographical Society
"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."
Kazi Matin Ahmed, University of Dhaka
