Disclaimer:
PLEASE NOTE: The application is still under development. If you would like to use it, please do so at YOUR OWN RISK and the assessment should be treated as INDICATIVE. You need to carry out a chemical test of your well water to be sure. It is estimated that ~60% of 10 million hand pumped tubewells in rural Bangladesh remained untested for arsenic. This accounts for widespread exposure to this insidious toxin and resulting in multi-systemic effects including cancer. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment but drinking arsenic-safe water. Using this web application a tubewell can easily be assessed for arsenic. All you need to provide your Upazila name, colour of the tubewell-platform, and select a depth of tubewell. Please also tell us whether the tubewell water is used for drinking.
