Description SOLUBLE inorganic As is toxic with both cancer
and non-cancer endpoints. Of the 80 million
people in West Bengal, 50 million are living in
the nine As-affected districts with millions at risk
from using water for drinking, cooking or
irrigation (Chakraborti et al., 2004). An environmental
tragedy is developing in West Bengal with
an alarming number of cases of skin lesions
(GuhaMa zumder et al., 1998; Mukherjee et al.,
2005), respiratory symptoms (von Ehrenstein et
al., 2005), adverse pregnancy outcomes and infant
mortality (von Ehrenstein et al., 2006) and
neurological complications (Mukherjee et al.,
2005) associated with ingestion of As-contaminated
water.
