"This book lifts the lid to expose a terrifying global phenomenon - the insidious poisoning of tens of millions of people by arsenic that occurs naturally in rocks and soils and finds its way into the water we drink and the food we eat. The authors convincingly argue that we need both more information and urgent investment in mitigation efforts."
-- Sir Gordon Conway, President of the Royal Geographical Society
"Arsenic Pollution: A Global Synthesis is the most comprehensive of all the books published in recent times on one of the most discussed public health hazards of the current world. This book will definitely be on the reading list of anyone interested in any aspect of arsenic occurrences in water and soil anywhere in the world."
