• The book series Arsenic in the Environment - Proceedings provides together with the book series Arsenic in the Environment an inter- and multidisciplinary source of information, making an effort to link the occurrence of geogenic arsenic in different environments and the potential contamination of ground- and surface water, soil and air and their effect on the human society. The series fulfills the growing interest in the worldwide arsenic issue, which is being accompanied by stronger regulations on the permissible Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) of arsenic in drinking water and food, which are being adopted not only by the industrialized countries, but increasingly by developing countries. Both of the book series cover all fields of research concerning arsenic in the environment and aims to present an integrated approach from its occurrence in rocks and mobilization into the ground- and surface water, soil and air, its transport therein, and the pathways of arsenic introduction into the food chain including uptake by humans. Human arsenic exposure, arsenic bioavailability, metabolism and toxicology are treated together with related public health effects and risk assessments in order to better manage the contaminated land and aquatic environments and to reduce human arsenic exposure. Arsenic removal technologies and other methodologies to mitigate the arsenic problem are addressed not only from the technological perspective, but also from an economic and social point of view. Only such inter- and multidisciplinary approaches will allow a case-specific selection of optimal mitigation measures for each specific arsenic problem and provide the local population with arsenic-safe drinking water, food, and air.
