High arsenic levels in the water, soil, and air in the Antofagasta region in northern Chile have been criticised by Chilean scientists and doctors, who say the levels are responsible for the higher rates of cancer mortality among the local population. Death rates for lung cancer and bladder can...
As one of the hazardous metalloid toxicant, arsenic can't be eliminated by degradation, but be migrated and transformed among water, sediment and biota in different forms, which may threaten the ecological health. To investigate the distribution and pollution levels of arsenic in the PRD, water ...
In 1998, arsenic concentrations of more than 50 micrograms/l were detected in some drinking water supplies from underground sources in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, which is the maximum permissible concentration for drinking water in Spain. These two facts have meant the getting under way of...
Regulatory standards for arsenic levels in drinking water generally do not apply to private domestic wells. Reverse osmosis (RO) units commonly are used by well owners to reduce arsenic concentrations, but may not always be effective. In a survey of 102 homes in Nevada, 19 used RO devices. ...
