This book is dedicated to the multifaceted description of the
crucial issue of arsenic contamination and its effect on human
health. From soil to man, this book describes the several steps
from arsenic speciation in rocks, water and environment in general,
through the contamination of rice-based foods in infants diet, up
to the devastating effects on human health. The axis
soil-food-health raises more issues than ever imagined and the book
is aimed at linking all the interdisciplinary aspects involved
while giving a complementary interpretation of the phenomenon.
Medical geology has recently emerged as a new discipline trying to
explain the events with an interdisciplinary approach and to solve
the related problems for human health. Far from being exhaustive,
this book is aimed at briefly addressing the 'arsenic issue' and
concerns for human health while presenting the different techniques
employed for arsenic removal, from natural or polymeric adsorbents
to biological filtration.
