The scope of the 9^th International Congress & Exhibition on Arsenic in the Environment, themed “Arsenic and other Pollutants, Water Security and One Health under Global Climate Change Scenario (As2024),” encompasses several key dimensions:

• Focus on Arsenic and other Pollutants: The primary focus of the conference is on arsenic contamination in the environment, including its sources, distribution, remediation, and impacts on human health and ecosystems. Additionally, the scope extends to other pollutants cover legacy (trace elements, organic and inorganic pollutants, etc.) and emerging contaminants (micro/nano-plastics, per- and polyfluorinated substances, endocrine disrupting chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.) relevant to environmental and public health concerns.
• Water Security: The conference aims to address issues related to water security, including the availability, quality, and sustainability of water resources in the context of arsenic contamination and other pollutants. Discussions may cover strategies for ensuring access to safe drinking water and mitigating risks associated with waterborne contaminants.

• One Health Approach: Emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, the conference adopts a One Health approach. This entails exploring the links between environmental pollution, water quality, and public health, as well as addressing interdisciplinary solutions to complex health challenges.
• Global Climate Change Scenario: Acknowledging the influence of climate change on environmental processes and human health, the conference considers the implications of global climate change for arsenic and other pollutants contamination, water security, and One Health initiatives. Discussions may include climate adaptation strategies, resilience building, and mitigation measures.

By integrating these thematic elements, the scope of the conference provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and collaborate on addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by arsenic contamination and other pollutants in the environment, with a focus on safeguarding water security and promoting One Health principles within the context of a changing climate.
