| Research Abstract |
This study examines the influence of groundwater arsenic contamination on the life of village residents in rural areas of the developing countries in Asia. Therefore, this study regards arsenic contamination not simply as a natural hazard, but as a social problem. The result of this study indicates that the rural poor disproportionally suffers from arsenic contamination in different contaminated areas in Asia. In Nepal, the severity of health problems greatly varied among social groups formed in the caste system.
