Abstract | More than 100 million people world-wide are exposed to high arsenic levels through the water in underground wells. Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic elements that exist. Its adverse effects depend strongly on the dose and duration of exposure. With regard to the toxic effects of As on humans and other living organisms, it is necessary to take into account the permissible levels of As in drinking water and its chemical speciation when establishing the regulatory standards. The WHO guideline value adopted for As in drinking water is 10 ug/L (WH0, 2008). |
