We are trying to gather latest information in association with Dainichi Consultant Japan, regarding subsurface arsenic contamination in Bangladesh. The depth of calamities, type of on going projects, review available treatment technologies, and overall evaluation on health related issues. All are based on news article, technical papers, and our research output.
