The editors (of the Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation at the U. of South Australia, Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology, and GHD Pty Ltd in Australia) bring together 38 papers reviewing current knowledge on arsenic contamination. After an overview of the history of arsenic contamination around the world, two papers present analytical tools for assessing the dynamics of arsenic in environmental samples. Other contributions discuss the dynamics of arsenic in groundwater; the fate of arsenic in soil, water, and plants; food chain issues, and human health issues. These are followed by discussion of remediation practices for arsenic-contaminated water and soils. Finally, 11 country case studies look at extents of arsenic contamination and poisoning in Asia and the Pacific, as well as some cases of arsenic mitigation efforts. Distributed in the US by Enfield.
