The element occurs naturally in the soil and enters the water supply throughout the U.S., especially in the West, Midwest and New England. After more than 20 years of debate, a new arsenic standard was signed into law in late 2001, reducing the allowable level for the contaminant in drinking water by more than 80%. The law impacts 4,100 public water systems that serve 13 million people. An additional 40 million Americans obtain their water from private wells which may have high levels of arsenic. The current maximum contaminant level (mcl) is 10 ppb. Potential short-term health effects associated with arsenic exposure include: Stomach pain Difficulty Swallowing Skin lesions Convulsions Low blood pressure Vomiting Pigmentation Gastrointestinal problems Potential long-term health effects associated with arsenic exposure include: Bladder cancer Gangrene Immunological disorders Skin cancer Limb loss Endocrine disorders Kidney cancer Keratosis Hematological disorders Liver cancer Neurological effects Reproductive problems Prostate cancer Cardiovascular disease Developmental problems Lung cancer Pulmonary disease Arsenic Cancer Risk Factor (in ppb) Approximate Total Cancer Risk (assuming 2 liters consumed / day) 0.5 ppb 1 in 10,000 1 ppb 1 in 5,000 3 ppb 1 in 1,667 4 ppb 1 in 2,500 5 ppb 1 in 1,000 10 ppb 1 in 750 20 ppb 1 in 500 25 ppb 1 in 250 50 ppb 1 in 100 100 ppb 1 in 50 Source: National Academy of Sciences Point-of-Entry / Residential Solutions Adsorption Media – Arsenic Reduction Adedge Technologies’ E33 media is the industry standard for arsenic reduction that reduces up to 99% of total arsenic, including both arsenic (III) and arsenic (V).
