Description:
Point-of-use (POU) treatment devices can be effective for removing inorganic contaminants. This article describes the investigation of POU treatment systems used for arsenic removal in four homes in Alaska and Oregon. Small systems utilizing activated alumina, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis techniques were field-tested on waters naturally contaminated with arsenic. The waters contained arsenic in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.0mg/L, which were successfully lowered to below the 0.05-mg/L maximum contaminant level.
