The Arsenic Primer originally published by UNICEF in 2008 has been updated to reflect the changes associated with the Sustainable Development Goals, the framework for safe drinking water and the experience over the last decade in the implementation of arsenic mitigation programmes.

UNICEF POLICY BRIEF: MITIGATING ARSENIC IN DRINKING WATER 3 The Human Right to Safe Water Drinking-water quality is a major concern in countries throughout the world. Safe water must be free from pathogens and dangerous concentrations of chemical contaminants such as arsenic or fluoride.

The publication titled Towards an Arsenic Safe Environment in Bangladesh was officially launched in Dhaka on the occasion UNICEF has found that 12.6% of drinking water samples collected from 13,423 households around the country do not meet the Bangladesh drinking water standard for arsenic (Figure 1). Bangladesh still has the largest proportion of people exposed to arsenic contamination The right to safe water is recognised as a foundation of all other human rights. Bangladesh has made significant progress regarding universal access to improved water sources, with more than 97 per cent of the population having access in 2013. 2003-01-01 2017-08-16 2016-04-06 2020-05-29 2006-04-01 UNICEF's largest arsenic mitigation programme that has been contributing from policy to practice since the discovery of arsenic problem. UNICEF Bangladesh works with many partners including the Government, Non-Governmental Organizations and other UN agencies in some of the worst arsenic-affected areas in the country for sustainable Around 20 million people in Bangladesh are exposed to harmful levels of the arsenic in their drinking water, leading to death, cancers, and other diseases. Arsenic concentration is higher in Bangladeshi soils, groundwater and plants (data based on 4% area of the country) than the permissible limits or normal range reported. This situation poses a serious threat on human and livestock health and highlights the need for scientific studies that would better describes the fate of As in the natural environment and identify all potential routes of Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), Bangladesh first identified their groundwater arsenic contamination in 1993.

Today, an estimated 25-40 million people in Bangladesh have been exposed to arsenic levels above the national limit (which is still at 50 μg/l). Mukhtar Alam Published June 29, 2003 KARACHI, June 28: Following many positive tests by UNICEF showing a high arsenic level in the underground water of Sindh, the government has prepared a plan to UNICEF has come out with some dismal findings with regard to Bangladesh on the occasion of a high-level meeting. The successive governments failed to respond to the crisis with the promptitude the situation had called for. Arsenic is a ticking timebomb.

Areas showing high proportions of unsafe wells (i.e. wells whose water contains arsenic in concentrations > 50 µg/L, the Bangladeshi drinking water standard) are largely the same areas experiencing the highest arsenic concentrations (often > 200 µg/L).

UNICEF also found evidence of significant disparity in water quality of different regions in Bangladesh. For example, 71.8 per cent in Rangpur division drink from E.coli-free water. But only 31.6 per cent in Sylhet Division can access the same. In both access and quality, disparity exists between rich and poor households.

people in Bangladesh are affected by arsenic to this date, and sadly, it is a number that may soon spread if nothing is done.

– Mässling är en mycket smittsam och farlig sjukdom i katastrofer, särskilt för barn som redan är undernärda och utsatta, säger Edouard Beigbeder, chef för UNICEF i Bangladesh. The mass arsenic poisoning of 50 million people in Bangladesh is the story of foreign aid gone wrong: it was originally a project by Unicef and the World Bank intended to meet a previous set of development goals that prioritized clean drinking water, and so tens of thousands of wells were dug throughout Bangladesh so people would stop drinking dirty surface water.
