The Congress and Exhibition Series "Arsenic in the Environment"
offers an international, multi- and interdisciplinary discussion
platform for research and innovation aimed towards a holistic
solution to the challenges posed by the environmental toxin
arsenic, with global societal impact. The Congress has focused on
cutting edge and breakthrough research in physical, chemical,
toxicological, medical, agricultural and other specific issues on
arsenic across a broader environmental realm. The Biennial Congress
and Exhibition "Arsenic in the Environment" was first organized in
Mexico City (As2006) followed by As2008 in Valencia (Spain), As2010
in Tainan (Chinese Taiwan), As2012 in Cairns (Australia), As2014 in
Buenos Aires (Argentina), As2016 in Stockholm (Sweden) and As2018
in Beijing (P.R. China). The 8th International Congress As2020 was
held June 7-9, 2021 (first time digitally owing to the global
COVID-19 pandemic, in Wageningen, The Netherlands) and with a title
Arsenic in the Environment - Bridging Science to Practice for
Sustainable Development. The Congress addressed the broader context
of arsenic research aligned on the following themes: Theme 1:
Arsenic in Natural Soil and Water Systems Theme 2: Arsenic in
Agriculture and Food Production Theme 3: Health Impacts of Arsenic
Theme 4: Technologies for Arsenic Removal from Water Theme 5:
Sustainable Mitigation and Management for Sustainable Development
Arsenic in drinking water and food is a major health issue,
affecting millions of people in many parts of the world. In recent
years serious cases of arsenic exposure through different
environmental matrices have been reported from, for example,
Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, Taiwan, Turkey, India, Mexico,
UK, USA, Pakistan, Vietnam as well as other regions in the world.
Arsenic can cause a number of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic
adverse effects on human health and therefore human exposure to
arsenic should be avoided. Notably, The Netherlands has been in the
forefront of research on arsenic removal technology and developed a
cutting edge innovation to remove arsenic to levels below the WHO
drinking water guideline to as low as less than 1 μg/L. This has
created an enabling environment to discuss on policy issues for
defining the new drinking water guideline. The Congress has
attracted professionals involved in different segments of
interdisciplinary research on arsenic in an open forum, and
strengthened relations between academia, research institutions,
government and non-governmental agencies, industries, and civil
society organizations to share an optimal ambience for exchange of
knowledge.
