ARSENIC RESEARCH
US scientists and international universities have joined hands to help solve the arsenic problem in Bangladesh's drinking water. Many of the area's wells contain water with arsenic concentration of 500-1,000 parts per billion. Working with collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Tokyo, and the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, the researchers will explore: why arsenic concentrations are so high in the groundwater of Bangladesh and how they will change over time and space.
