Arsenic toxicity is a major challenge to health professionals and scientists around the world and is responsible for numerous diseases. Arsenic in drinking water, for example, can cause abnormal skin pigmentations such as keratosis and arsenicosis as well as multiple forms of cancer. This book reviews our understanding of arsenic poisoning and the health consequences resulting from exposure. Chapters discuss sources of arsenic poisoning ; arsenic chemistry and geochemistry; remediation; the use of nutraceuticals and functional foods in combating arsenic poisoning; and various removal/treatment techniques.
