Description

Explore the historical and environmental impact of arsenic contamination through this detailed study. In the 1950s, residents in southwestern coastal Taiwan faced severe health challenges due to Blackfoot disease (BFD) caused by consuming arsenic-heavy groundwater. While the transition to arsenic-safe tap water in the 1970s led to a significant decrease in BFD cases, and no new cases have been reported since 1990, the presence of arsenic in groundwater remains a persistent issue. This book provides essential knowledge regarding the arsenic problem in the environment. It examines the history of groundwater contamination in southwestern and northeastern Taiwan and addresses why this issue must not be disregarded despite the decline in reported disease cases. It is a vital resource for those studying biochemistry and environmental science, offering a deep look at how environmental contaminants affect public health and the long-term implications of groundwater safety.
