Abstract | Over the past three decades, the occurrence of high concentration of arsenic (As) in drinking water has been recognized a severe global public-health concern (Bhattacharya et al. 2002, Mandal and Suzuki 2002, Ng et al. 2003). The global As-contamination scenario has Arsenic is one of the most toxic elements that exists. Humans may be exposed to As through food, water and air. Particularly, As exposure caused by groundwater used for drinking in different parts of the world has emerged as an issue of great concern. Its adverse effects depend strongly on the dose and duration of exposure. Specific dermatological effects are characteristic of chronic exposure to As. Dermatological features are melanosis (pigmentation) and keratosis (rough dry papular skin lesions). Chronic exposure to As may also cause In most cases there may be a variety of technology options that can provide communities with sustainable and cost-effective safe drinking water. However, in all cases, the technologies should meet several basic technical and socioeconomic criteria such as: |
