Review Quotes:
"Overall, a wide-ranging yet detailed study of arsenic pollution in the water environment is provide, covering many of the subfields that make up the discipline of geography, including chemistry, socioeconomics and politics, to name but a few.... Arsenic Pollution provides a highly effective contemporary synthesis of this field." (Area, 2011)
"This is an excellent book. For those seeking first-time knowledge, as well as those seeking to enhance their existing understanding about arsenic and recent research developments, there is probably no better book currently available." (Geoscientist, September 2009)
"An excellent contribution to the field, and is clear and well written with ample figures and tables, and an extensive bibliography." (Experiment Agriculture, 2009)
