摘要

Risk of arsenic contamination in water supplies continues to increase in many countries, especially inndeveloping nations. Its sources and effects are multiple and diffused in nature and it requires detailednassessment and policy. This paper discusses the global extent of the problem, its sources and effects andnexplores different policy options. Sources and pathways of interaction require comprehensive assessment andnpolicy. Innovation in low cost technologies offers possibilities for reducing abatement cost and for economicnefficiency. To reduce arsenic in water resources, incentive policies such as taxing and subsidizing can be used tonreduce arsenic levels in point sources through creation of appropriate incentives. The paper also identifiesnopportunities for enhancing self-protection efforts through education and information sharing. Under a self-nprotection policy, though the damages decline to a greater extent, there is a possibility of an increase in arsenicnemission. We propose a combination of policies that involve low cost technology, education and awareness tonmitigate the damage from arsenic contamination at a watershed scale. It is also necessary to enforce thesenpolicies through appropriate institutional changes that involve coordination and cooperative efforts to mitigatenarsenic contamination.
