Abstract

This paper gives impact of ARSENIC contaminated water on human health as well as overview of the extent and severity of GROUNDWATER ARSENIC contamination in BANGLADESH. Scalp hair is the most important part of the human body to monitor the accumulation of this type of poison. Therefore, an experiment has been carried out by NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS (NAA) at Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Savar, Dhaka, BANGLADESH on human hair of corresponding tube well water users of these areas to determine the total accumulation of ARSENIC to their body. Hair samples collected from the region where the GROUNDWATER was found highly contaminated with ARSENIC. The obtained results of ARSENIC concentration in the lower age (Hb) categories of users (below 12 years of age users) is in the range of 0.33 to 3.29 μg/g (ppm) and that in the Hu categories (upper 12 years of age users) is 0.47 to 6.64 μg/g (ppm). Where as maximum permissible range is 1 ppm certified from WHO. Results show that the peoples are highly affected where the GROUNDWATER is highly contaminated with ARSENIC and acts as the primary source of ARSENIC poisoning among the peoples of those areas. The results indicate that human population is affected with ARSENIC locally using the contaminated water for a long time.
