Abstract: Arsenic (As) is semi metallic compound (metalloid). Beside the elemental form, as exists in four oxidation states; -3, 0, +3 and +5 and as (0) as an elemental form. Arsenic exists in environment since long back, but present acceleration of its exposure leads to cancer, which is increasing day by day. During recent years, several technologies are developed to remediate as physically and chemically from drinking water, but least effort is seen in case of healthy crop production in as contaminated areas. In this regard, there is a hope with bioagents as they can be suitable and convenient for ecological sustainability in as contaminated soils.
