Explore the critical issue of arsenic contamination in groundwater with 'Arsenic in Groundwater: Poison, Man and Ecology' by Sankar Kr Acharya and Parban Baidya. This comprehensive hardback delves into the dire consequences of arsenic on human health and ecology, particularly in the vulnerable regions of West Bengal along the eastern Bhagirathi river. Through detailed empirical research, the authors uncover the geogenic factors and agricultural practices contributing to this public health crisis. The book uses multivariate analytical tools to effectively illustrate how groundwater extraction during the summer rice cultivation season exacerbates the problem. This essential read offers insights into the serious health risks posed to farmers and rural communities, illuminating the need for policies ensuring the safety of groundwater consumption and raising awareness about the environmental impacts of arsenic exposure.

"The contamination of groundwater with arsenic poses a significant threat to both human health and ecological systems. The ingestion of arsenic from groundwater by crops, livestock, and humans leads to biological magnification, causing silent harm to health and ecosystems. The eastern part of the Bhagirathi river in West Bengal is particularly vulnerable to arsenic contamination due to certain geogenic factors. The heavy extraction of groundwater during the summer rice cultivation season in this region of the Gangetic alluvial tract creates favorable conditions for arsenic contamination. As a result, farmers and rural communities in this area are at risk of severe health consequences, including premature death, reduced demand for crops, fruits, and vegetables grown with contaminated water. This book is based on empirical research conducted at the grassroots level to uncover the facts and factors contributing to arsenic contamination.

The use of multivariate analytical tools has allowed for the identification of the direct, indirect, and residual effects of various factors on arsenic contamination. This research has significant policy implications for ensuring safe groundwater consumption. It is anticipated that this unique book will be of great interest and utility to a global audience.
