Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public
Description:
The recently promulgated Arsenic Rule will require that many new drinking water systems treat their water to remove arsenic. It has been projected that the State of Ohio will have nearly 140 community and non-community non-transient water systems in violation of the Rule. This presentation discusses fundamental arsenic chemistry, arsenic treatment control strategies, and places an emphasis on adsorption and iron removal approaches to arsenic removal. Ways to modify current iron removal practices to improve arsenic removal are also addressed.
