Arsenic a threat to agriculture land

Zusatztext

The problem of arsenic pollution of groundwater used for domestic water supplies is now well recognized in Bangladesh, India and some other countries of South and South-east Asia. However, it has recently become apparent that arsenic-polluted water used for irrigation is adding sufficient arsenic to soils and rice to pose serious threats to sustainable agricultural production in those countries and to the health and livelihoods of affected people.
