As a consequence, there has been an exponential rise in scientific interest that has triggered high quality research. Since then, arsenic contamination (predominantly of geogenicorigin)ofdrinkingwaterresources,soils,plantsandair,thepropagationofarsenicin thefoodchain, thechronicaffectsofarsenicingestionbyhumans, andtheirtoxicologicaland relatedpublichealthconsequences, havebeendescribedinmanypartsoftheworld, andevery year,evenmorenewcountriesorregionsarediscoveredtohavearsenicproblems Arsenic is found as a drinking water contaminant, in many regions all around the world, in both developing as well as industrialized countries. However, addressing the problem requires different approaches which take into account, the differential economic and social conditions in both country groups. It has been estimated that 200 million people worldwide are at risk fromdrinkingwatercontaininghighconcentrationsofAs,anumberwhichisexpectedtofurther increase due to the recent lowering of the limits of arsenic concentration in drinking water to 10µgL−1, which has already been adopted by many countries, and some authorities are even consideringdecreasingthisvaluefurther. The book series ‘Arsenic in the Environment’ is an inter- and multidisciplinary source of information,makinganefforttolinktheoccurrenceofgeogenicarsenicindifferentenvironments andthepotentialcontaminationofground-andsurfacewater,soilandairandtheireffectonthe human society. The series fulfills the growing interest in the worldwide arsenic issue, which isbeingaccompaniedbystrongerregulationsonthepermissibleMaximumContaminantLevels (MCL)ofarsenicindrinkingwaterandfood,whicharebeingadoptednotonlybytheindustrialized countries,butincreasinglybydevelopingcountries. Thebookseriescoversallfieldsofresearchconcerningarsenicintheenvironmentandaims topresentanintegratedapproachfromitsoccurrenceinrocksandmobilizationintotheground- and surface water, soil and air, its transport therein, and the pathways of arsenic introduction intothefoodchainincludinguptakebyhumans.Humanarsenicexposure,arsenicbioavailabil- ity, metabolism and toxicology are treated together with related public health effects and risk assessments in order to better manage the contaminated land and aquatic environments and to reducehumanarsenicexposure.Arsenicremovaltechnologiesandothermethodologiestomiti- gatethearsenicproblemareaddressednotonlyfromthetechnologicalperspective,butalsofrom an economic and social point of view. Only such inter- and multidisciplinary approaches, will allowcase-specificselectionofoptimalmitigationmeasuresforeachspecificarsenicproblem andprovidethelocalpopulationwitharsenicsafedrinkingwater,food,andair. We have an ambition to make this book series an international, multi- and interdisciplinary sourceofknowledgeandaplatformforarsenicresearchorientedtothedirectsolutionofproblems withconsiderablesocialimpactandrelevanceratherthansimplyfocusingoncuttingedgeand breakthroughresearchinphysical,chemical,toxicologicalandmedicalsciences.Thebookseries will also form a consolidated source of information on the worldwide occurrences of arsenic, which otherwise is dispersed and often hard to access. It will also have role in increasing the VII VIII Aboutthebookseries awarenessandknowledgeofthearsenicproblemamongadministrators,policymakersandcom- panyexecutivesandimprovinginternationalandbilateralcooperationonarseniccontamination anditseffects.
