Abstract
Between 35 and 77 million Bangladeshis (out of a population of 125 million) are at risk of drinking water contaminated with arsenic levels above the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 0.01 milligrams per liter (mg/1), according to the WHO. A British Geological Survey study in 1998 found that 35 percent of shallow tubewells sampled had arsenic levels above 0.05 mg/1 (the maximum concentration allowed in Bangladesh) and 8.4 percent had levels above 0.3 mg/1.Some recent research focusing on this problem could help Bangladesh provide clean water to these people.
