Arsenic in soil and groundwater environment : biogeochemical interactions health effects and remediation This book aims to bring awareness among administrators policy makers and company executives on the problem and to improve the international cooperation. Presents the developments in the field of arsenic in soil and groundwater. Arranged into nine sections this text emphasizes the global occurrences of arsenic in the environment particularly on its source pathways behavior and effects it has on soils plants water animals and humans. This volume presents the recent developments in the field of arsenic in soil and groundwater. Arranged into nine sections the text emphasizes the global occurrences of arsenic in the environment particularly on its source pathways behavior and effects it has on soils plants water animals and humans. It also covers the diverse issues of arsenic in the mining environment arsenic emanating from hydrothermal springs and the geochemical modeling of arsenic adsorption to oxide surfaces. Finally the text includes different cost effective removal mechanisms of arsenic from drinking water using natural red earth solar oxidation and arsenic oxidation by ferrrate. Written in simple English and few technical terms the book is designed to create interest within the countries with occurrences of arsenic in drinking water with an update the current status of knowledge on the dynamics of natural arsenic from the aquifers through groundwater to food chain and efficient techniques for arsenic removal. serve as a standard text book for graduate postgraduate students and researchers in the field of Environmental Sciences and Hydrogeochemistry as well as researchers environmental scie
