摘要

In attempting to eliminate disease caused by drinking polluted surface water, millions of tube-wells were drillednin Bangladesh. However, owing to arsenic in groundwater, the availability of safe drinking water has declinednfrom earlier achievement of 97% to 51.2%. This article reviews the causes and distribution of arsenicnconcentration in rural Bangladesh from a wide variety of literature. Scientists have converged to two hypothesesnfor causes of arsenic in groundwater: the pyrite oxidation hypothesis and the oxy-hydroxide reduction hypothesis.nThere is a positive correlation between arsenic content in irrigated groundwater and arsenic contained in soils.nThere is a significant presence of arsenic in rice and leafy vegetables. Today, arsenic is causing toxicity to humannhealth and creating major social problems. This finding implies that, had there been a precautionary measure takennwhen a new technology tube-well was being introduced, in the form of testing water for harmful metals, the risknthat the rural population is facing now could have been drastically reduced. This lack of precautionary measure,nbefore starting a mass installation of tube-wells for drinking and irrigation should be seen as a “human error” andnavoided in future water policy and planning.
