Arsenic is a poisonous chemical. It is white in color. Normally, all kinds of water contain arsenic. The tolerable amount of arsenic in drinking water is from 01 mg to 05 mg per liter, But about 25% tubewells in Bangladesh contain about 40 mg of arsenic per liter. By drinking this excessive amount of arsenic many people are suffering from a disease named arsenicosis. Arsenic is not found in surface water. It is found in tubewell water. Arsenicosis is not a contagious disease. Consciousness can help us get rid of this disease. Poisoning by arsenic is a slow process. The majority of the tubewells in Bangladesh are free from arsenic. But they should be tested. The best way to get rid of this disease is to drink water from the sources that contain no arsenic. Rainwater can be collected for this purpose. The government should come forward to solve this problem. They should make people conscious of arsenicosis. At the same time, they should make arrangements for the supply of pure drinking water.
