Abstract:
Arsenic is found to be one of the most hazardous element in the chemical world and its presence in drinking water is a matter of great concern. There are several reports on contamination of water by arsenic (As) in groundwater as well as in drinking water in different rural and sub-urban areas where expensive water treatment techniques are not affordable. Arsenic exists in organic as well as inorganic forms in aqueous system with varying valence states which is mainly responsible for its variable behaviour and toxicity. Chronic arsenic exposure has devastating health effects such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and the eventual death. Thus, the removal of arsenic from drinking water is strongly recommended. Many methods of arsenic removal have been studied, but every available process has its own limitations and it can serve to a limited extent only. This chapter summarizes the effects caused by arsenic contamination and the methodologies currently being adopted for its removal from drinking water.
