Arsenic Problem in Bangladesh

Arsenic in tube well water was first founded in Bangladesh in
1993 by the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) in
Chapai Nawabganj.
At present prevalence of arsenic in drinking water has been
identified 61 out of 64 districts in Bangladesh.
black foot disease, cardiovascular disease, neuropathy and
cancer.
Maximum permissible limit for Bangladesh 0.05 mg/l. WHO
guideline value 0.01 mg/l.

Background and Justification

'Action Research on Community-Based Arsenic Mitigation' project
for the period June 1999- June 2000 of BRAC- There was
dangerous arsenic contamination in water of Sonargaon upazila.
90% tube wells were tested.
among them 62% of the wells contain arsenic above 100 ppb1,
had dangerous concentration.

 74% villages of Sonargaon had more than half of their wells

contaminated.
Therefore we selected the village pakundia of sonargoan upozila,
Narayanganj district, for our project implementation.
Emphasis will be placed on that the community to be involved as an
integral part of the implementing force. Like: involvement in
awareness program, arsenic test, contribution of fund, land,
bamboo etc.
This project proposal will help Government to meet Millennium
Development Goals of Bangladesh for ensuring safe drinking water
supply for the inhabitants by the year 2015.
