The contamination of groundwater with arsenic poses a significant threat to both human health and ecological systems. The ingestion of arsenic from groundwater by crops, livestock, and humans leads to biological magnification, causing silent harm to health and ecosystems. The eastern part of the Bhagirathi river in West Bengal is particularly vulnerable to arsenic contamination due to certain geogenic factors. The heavy extraction of groundwater during the summer rice cultivation season in this region of the Gangetic alluvial tract creates favorable conditions for arsenic contamination. As a result, farmers and rural communities in this area are at risk of severe health consequences, including premature death, reduced demand for crops, fruits, and vegetables grown with contaminated water. This book is based on empirical research conducted at the grassroots level to uncover the facts and factors contributing to arsenic contamination. The use of multivariate analytical tools has allowed for the identification of the direct, indirect, and residual effects of various factors on arsenic contamination. This research has significant policy implications for ensuring safe groundwater consumption. It is anticipated that this unique book will be of great interest and utility to a global audience.
