Abstract

Arsenic contamination could affect human health and environmental safety. Pollution of soil and water resources by arsenic and its toxic compounds has attracted a great deal of attention and concern worldwide. The severity of arsenic-related toxicities and side effects becomes more pronounced when we realize that, based on published scientific results, long-term exposure to arsenic and its toxic compounds could lead to various disorders and cancers in humans. The transfer of large amounts of arsenic to water resources, especially drinking water used by humans, and the accumulation of these compounds in agricultural products and human food resources have increased these hazards' severity. Due to all these negative impacts associated with the presence of arsenic in human life and agricultural environments, finding practical and effective strategies to remove and mitigate these impacts is crucial. There are some different strategies for detoxification and reduction of arsenic in environments. Agricultural management, chemical, and biotechnological methods, bioremediation of arsenic by microbial and fungal communities, accumulation, and inactivation of arsenic in the plant cells, and fertilizer application are among the most important of these strategies. In this chapter, the points mentioned earlier are discussed in detail. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
