摘要
Chronic exposure to minute amounts of arsenic in drinking water has been shown to adversely affect human health. Over 100 million people, many living in poor areas of the world, are currently exposed to unsafe level of arsenic (> 10μg/L) in drinking water derived from aquifers. Arsenic, sometimes known as the King of Poisons, is a group VA element commonly found as an oxyanion in aqueous environment. A worthwhile future research direction is to understand the hydrological, mineralogical, geological and biogeochemical factors that contribute to the sustainable use of low As aquifers in endemic area of As.
