ARSENIC IN DRINKING WATER

What is Arsenic?

Rocks and soil naturally contain arsenic along with many other elements and are distributed throughout all continents. Groundwater that is used for drinking water may sometimes include small quantities of arsenic that has been dissolved and is above drinking water standards. Your chance of developing cancer and other major health issues might rise if you drink water that contains arsenic. It’s critical to understand how much arsenic is present in your water supply and how to lower your exposure.

Health Effects of Drinking Arsenic Water

How to Protect Yourself and Your Family

The recommended level of arsenic in drinking water in the United States is 10 micrograms per liter (g/L). * However, long-term exposure to water containing arsenic at levels below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) threshold can still raise your chance of developing cancer. The EPA has established a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of 0 g/L for arsenic in drinking water as a result to prevent long-term exposure and risks. This goal does not consider the cost of water treatment to completely remove arsenic from drinking water due to many limitations and high costs associated.

• 1 part per billion (ppb) is equal to 1 microgram per liter (µg/L)/(ppb).

Public Water System & Private Well Water System

Compared to the private well water system, which is not regularly tested, Arsenic should be tested regularly to make sure there is no Arsenic in well water or breakthrough (>10 µg/L /ppb) in arsenic in well water. The treatment of well water could be achieved through a Point of Entry (POE) system for the whole house or a Point of Use (POU) system. Ideally, the Point of Entry (POE) system would be best suitable to limit all exposure to Arsenic but is associated with higher costs compared to Point of Use (POU) system.
