Arsenic Research

See all Research on Arsenic in Drinking Water.

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that can be found in groundwater sources. It can also be released into the environment from human activities such as mining and industrial waste disposal. Exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can lead to serious health problems such as skin damage, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Water testing for arsenic is essential for identifying the presence and concentration of this toxic element in water sources, and ensuring that the water is safe for human consumption. Regular testing is important to maintain the potability and safety of the water supply, and to prevent health problems associated with arsenic exposure.
