and what about you?
Zafi: I am
also fine. But where are you coming from?
Zarif: I went
to a seminar on arsenic problem, and the remedy of it was its main focus.
Zafi: Actually
I have no idea about arsenic. Could you please let me know about it?

Arsenic is a very poisonous chemical. It exists mostly in tube well water.
Nowadays it has become a serious problem in our country.

see. But how does it affect people?

people drink the arsenic contaminated tube well water, they get affected by
this poison.

harm can it cause to human body?
Zarif: It
causes many health hazards. The affected people gradually become sick and at
one stage they embrace death.
Zafi: Oh, my god!
I think immediate measures should be taken to stop the menace. How can we get
rid of this problem?
Zarif: People
should be made aware of arsenic and its dangers. People should be advised not
to drink arsenic contaminated water.

know which part of our country is most affected by arsenic?
Zarif: Yes, it
is North Bengal which is most affected by this poison.

you very much for making me understand the matter. I see it is a serious
problem in our country.
