Over one hundred million of the world’s poorer people, notably in Bangladesh and India, are exposed to arsenic. They ingest arsenic through drinking water obtained from contaminated wells - and also by eating rice, which naturally concentrates arsenic. Have we inadvertently contributed to this situation? What can and should UK individuals,government and non-governmental aid organisations do to help? How does this issue impact us in the UK?

Organisers: Policy@Manchester, The School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences
