A chapter in Socio-Economic Analysis of Arsenic Contamination of Groundwater in West Bengal, 2016, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract To understand the true impact of the arsenic contamination of groundwater problem in West Bengal, it is imperative that one comprehends its micro and macro dimensions.What has been the extent of the problem and how the sufferings of affected people living in arsenic exposed and infested villages of West Bengal have remained unnoticed and unattended is narrated using information collated during our personal and group interview sessions. The names of respondents have not been changed according to their wishes.Moreover, we adopted a methodology that consisted of both the quantitative and qualitative analysing techniques in the form of review of literature; official statistics; and, of course, in-depth case studies.
