Arsenic contamination in groundwater has been termed as ‘the largest mass poisoning in history’ because of its detrimental effects on human population (Mori et al 2018). The Bengal Delta Plain (BDP) is the most arsenic contaminated region among the whole world where millions of people use arsenic contaminated water for drinking purposes (Bhattacharya et al, 2002). Children are more susceptible to arsenic than adult. Consumption of high arsenic contaminated water from the very first stage of life can develop arsenic related skin problems in early life. The effects of arsenic induced health diseases have multidimensional influences on the society. Apart from physical manifestation, socio economic impacts have been confronted by the sufferer such as economic instability due to loss of work, social disgrace, suicidal tendency and many other causes are related to these (Das and Roy, 2013). GIS platform was used for the study to prepare a hazard map considering the arsenic concentration of the village level drinking water sources and the geographical location as input. Baruipur and Sonarpur block of South 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, was considered for the study.
