Abstract

Arsenic (As) is natural element, which can spread in the environment to a great extent due to human activities. Exposure to As in drinking water and soils has become a global and regional concern. Mining, metal smelting and processing, cultivation of plants, and disposing of wastes from different sources are the main anthropogenic sources of As in the environment. Consumption of arsenic-contaminated water and food are significant exposure pathways for As. Poisoning by As has proven both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic impacts on human health. New technologies are being developed for As treatment in contaminated water and soil. At this chapter, we discuss geochemical behavior of As in the environment, human health risks of As, and As hazard controls and reduction methods. Several case studies including those performed by authors of this chapter are discussed.
