Abstract

With increasing detection of arsenic contaminated aquifers upstream of the Bengal delta plain in last decade, groundwater contamination by arsenic is being perceived as the most severe health hazard over entire Gangetic Plain. The issue of mass arsenic poisoning was initially linked to direct consumption of arsenic contaminated groundwater through hand pumps, but the growing realization that such aquifers are also being increasingly tapped for obtaining irrigation water fuelled fears of arsenic ingestion by the affected population both directly through drinking water sources and indirectly through the water-soil-crop route in this highly fertile region.
