The Congress "Arsenic in the Environment" offers an international,
multi- and interdisciplinary discussion platform for research aimed
towards a holistic solution to the problem posed by the
environmental toxin arsenic, with considerable 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 Congress "Arsenic in the Environment" was first organized in
Mexico City (As2006) followed by As2008 in Valencia, Spain, As2010
in Tainan, Taiwan and As2012 in Cairns, Australia. The 5th
International Congress As2014 was held May 11-16, 2014 in Buenos
Aires, Argentina and entitled One Century of the Discovery of
Arsenicosis in Latin America (1914-2014). The session topics
comprised: Theme 1: Arsenic in environmental matrices (air, water
and soil) Theme 2: Arsenic in food Theme 3: Arsenic and health
Theme 4: Removal technologies Theme 5: Mitigation management and
policy Hosting this Congress in Argentina was especially relevant
because 2014, marks 100 years since the discovery of the disease
Hidroarsenicismo Cronico Regional Endemico (HACRE) or arsenicosis
by Dr. Goyenechea and Dr. Ayerza in the city of Bell Ville,
Province of Cordoba, Argentina. Dr. Ayerza was the first person to
relate skin disorders to the consumption of groundwater with high
concentrations of arsenic. It is estimated that more than 14
million people in Latin America are at risk, of whom nearly 4
million are exposed to drinking water with high arsenic
concentration in Argentina, and further in Chile, El Salvador,
Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. A vast area of the Chaco-Pampean Plain
in Argentina, mostly in the semi-arid regions, is affected not only
by arsenic exposure from drinking water but also through other
exposure pathways, e.g. through food and other dietary intake. The
Congress has gathered professionals involved in different segments
of interdisciplinary research in an open forum, and strengthens
relations between academia, industry, research laboratories,
government agencies and the private sector to share an optimal
atmosphere for exchange of knowledge, discoveries and discussions
about the problem of arsenic in the environment.
