The congress "Arsenic within the atmosphere" bargains a world, multi- and interdisciplinary dialogue platform for arsenic examine aimed toward functional suggestions of issues of massive social influence, in addition to concentrating on innovative and step forward study in actual, chemical, toxicological, scientific and different particular matters on arsenic on a broader environmental realm. The congress "Arsenic within the atmosphere" was once first geared up in Mexico urban (As 2006) through As 2008 in Valencia, Spain and As 2010 in Tainan, Taiwan. The 4^th overseas Congress As 2012 used to be held in Cairns, Australia from July 22-27, 2012 entitled realizing the Geological and clinical Interface of Arsenic.

The consultation subject matters comprised:
1. Geology and hydrogeology of arsenic;
2. scientific and future health problems with arsenic;
3. Remediation and policy;
4. Analytical tools for arsenic; and
5. distinct subject matters on "Risk overview of arsenic from mining", "Geomicrobiology of arsenic", "Geothermal arsenic", "Rice arsenic and future health perspectives", "Sustainable mitigation of arsenic: from box trials to coverage implications", and "Biogeochemical techniques of excessive arsenic groundwater in inland basins"

Hosting this congress in Australia was once welcome and valued via the neighborhood clinical groups. Australia is a mineral wealthy nation the place mining has generated major monetary gain to its humans. regrettably ancient mining for base metals, gold and arsenic had resulted in environmental infection of arsenic. in the community produced arsenical compounds have been well-known as insecticides and in bushes renovation. it's recognized that there are a number of millions of livestock- and sheep-dip websites infected with arsenic in Australia. although, in general saw signs of persistent arsenic poisonings similar to these present in endemic-blackfoot parts are doubtless absent from some of these environmental illness because of high quality of potable water offer. Does q4 within the vintage argument of "the dose makes the poison"? This congress subject of "understanding the geological and clinical interface of arsenic" will develop our wisdom in minimising the chance published by means of this so-called no 1 prioritised contaminant – arsenic.
