One similarity between global warming and the arsenic crisis is that in both, human actions accentuate risks associated with otherwise natural phenomena. Another is that the consequences affect the global poor most severely. Indeed, this dimension is already obvious from the history of the arsenic crisis. Nearly 50 million people in south and east Asia have, for some deceases, drunk water contaminated with arsenic at levels above the old Who standard of 50 ppb. Many already have clinical symptoms of arsenicosis, leading to this being referred to as history's largest mass poisoning. by contrast, the USA has diverse sources and types of arsenic contamination in water supplies, but little evidence that this has a significant effect, because of better water treatment and better general health in the population.
