Why is it important?

The review would be a driving force to formulate a plan for establishing a sustainable As mitigation in vulnerable areas of Latin America in the near future. An assessment of the geochemistry, mobility and distribution of As would augment the effectiveness of the plan.

Perspectives

To provide a critical overview of the geochemistry of As originating from As sources in Latin America to understand what information exists about and what future research needs to be undertaken.
