Managing arsenic in the environment from soil to human health: 469-482

Document Number: 315258
The problem of arsenic (As) contamination in Bangladesh was highlighted by the WHO in 1994, after which UNICEF worked with its long-term government counterpart, the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), to conduct the first national random survey (1966-1998) to determine the extent of contamination. UNICEF then developed a joint Arsenic Mitigation Project with DPHE, agreed upon in the current five-year plan of cooperation between the government of Bangladesh and UNICEF. The five phases of this mitigation project are given. In addition, a four-part integrated strategy was developed to handle all elements of mitigation in the shortest timeframe. Summaries of the results of tube-well testing and the situation for the 20 upazilas screened between 2000 and 2002 are provided. In addition, safe water options and the advantages and disadvantages of different water supply technologies are also discussed.
