Arsenik är ett mycket giftigt ämne som finns i berg, mark och grundvatten, och är känt för att orsaka allvarliga hälsoeffekter. Neurologiska skador hos människan inträffar vid koncentrationer så låga som 100 μg/L, medan 1–3 mg/kg kroppsvikt As är en dödlig dos. Exponering för As kan leda till bland annat cell- och DNA-skador, ett antal sjukdomar och störningar samt olika typer av cancer. Höga As-kArsenic is a very toxic element present in rocks, soils, and natural groundwater, and known to cause serious health effects. Neurological damage is known in humans to occur at concentrations as low as 100 μg/L, while 1–3 mg/kg of body weight As is a lethal dose.

The extreme value theory has been applied on daily rainfall in the five most exposed areas of Bangladesh between the years 1980-2016 in order to esti- mate extreme rainfalls for the next 10, 50 and 100 years. These types of computations are necessary for optimising planning and preparations for ex- treme future rainfalls which can lead to minimising property damage and ultimately saving lives. Gen
