Description
The authoritative articles in this book represent the state-of-the-art in arsenic research. Arsenic experts from around the world - participants
in the Fifth International Conference on Arsenic Exposure and Health Effects organized by the Society for Environmental Geochemistry
and Health in 2002 - present their critical findings. The authors share their latest arsenic research findings in Occurrence, Epidemiology,
Biomarkers and Animal Models, Mode of Action, Mode of Action, Risk Estimation, Intervention and Medical Treatment, and Water Treatment
and Remediation.
As in past conferences, the first report of elevated arsenic exposures in a new country was given. The Conference
introduced the finding of arsenic contamination in Nepal and updates of the arsenic problems in Bangladesh, India, Vietnam are included.
A vital contribution to arsenic study and policy making, this volume examines the global impact of the toxin and discusses arsenic
in the environment, mechanisms of arsenic metabolism and carcinogenesis, water treatment technology, and medical care. Arsenic
Exposure and Health Effects V offers informed, challenging insights into a highly important and controversial topic.
