Distribution of Arsenic (BGS and DHPE, 2001) The project 'Groundwater Studies for Arsenic Contamination in Bangladesh' was a reconnaissance investigation of the arsenic problem, carried out over the period 1998 to 2001. Its remit was to collate available data and conduct new groundwater surveys.

Arsenic contamination of groundwater in Bangladesh is one of the largest examples of poisoning in pesticides and herbicides (BGS & DPHE, 2001, p. 2), and

2.3.2 Population Exposed There are an estimated 70 million people currently at risk for arsenic poisoning in the the Bangladesh area, resulting in a major health crisis and need for clean water. The effects of Arsenic poisoning are gruesome, and take effect after many years of drinking arsenic contaminated water.

This work has been funded by a number of organisations, including the UK government's Department for International Development , NERC , World Bank , Danida and Unicef . British Geological Survey (BGS) dug hand tube-wells in Bangladesh in 1980s and early 1990s but they did not test the water for arsenic. Again BGS came back to Bangladesh in 1992 to assess the quality of the water of the tube-wells they installed but they still did not test for arsenic when groundwater arsenic contamination and its health effects in West Bengal in Bengal delta was already published in WHO Bulletin in 1988.
