{"product_id":"the-taiwan-crisis-jiin-shuh-jean-9780415585101","title":"The Taiwan Crisis: A Showcase of the Global Arsenic Problem","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, the residents of the southwestern coastal areas of Taiwan suffered greatly from Blackfoot disease (BFD) due to the consumption of arsenic-contaminated groundwater. Groundwater with high levels of arsenic in southwestern and northeastern Taiwan received much attention. After arsenic-safe tap water was utilized for drinking instead of groundwater in the 1970s, BFD cases decreased greatly. After 1990, no new BFD cases were reported, and as a consequence, BFD problems disregarded. However, arsenic is still present in the groundwater.\u003cbr\u003eThis book will improve the knowledge and understanding of the occurrence and genesis of arsenic-rich groundwaters in Taiwan. It deals with constraints on the mobility of arsenic in groundwater, its uptake from soil and water by plants, arsenic-propagation through the food chain, human health impacts, and arsenic-removal technologies. Taiwan case experiences are described in this book and can be applied worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a state-of-the-art overview of research on arsenic in Taiwan and is designed to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ecreate interest in regions within Taiwan that are affected by the presence of arseniferous aquifers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edraw attention from the international scientific community;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eincrease awareness among researchers, administrators, policy makers, and company executives;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eimprove the international cooperation on arsenic problems worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jiin-Shuh Jean, Jochen Bundschuh, Chien-Jen Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415585104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415585101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.60d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jiin-Shuh Jean","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076044943615,"sku":"9780415585101","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1994a6b1-e731-4777-9cec-a4df59f304fb.jpg?v=1685462860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-taiwan-crisis-jiin-shuh-jean-9780415585101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
