The potential effect of drinking water that is arsenic-contaminated on human health in Bangladesh is of great concern. The rural community is the most affected because of their low understanding of the risk factors involved. Arsenic poisoning has greatly increased infant death rate. People are exposed to the arsenic compounds by contact, inhalation and ingestion

groundwater is water found below the ground. In many countries such as the UK, Nambia and Bangladesh, groundwater is a major water source for the population. Contamination of groundwater then, is the pollution of this water which often has major ramifications for a population. Major contaminants are nitrogenous fertilizers, and heavy metals found in the soil or rocks. Chalk and even certain types of plants have been used to combat groundwater contamination. Water hyacinth, for example, a plant found in Bangladesh was used to decrease the amounts of arsenic found in the groundwater in that country.
Seltzer water hasn't arsenic.
ppb means micrograms per litre. Therefore 6ug of arsenic in 250ml is 24ug of arsenic in a litre. ie. 24ppb.
ANY arsenic in water is bad! :O
Arsenic can be removed from water in a few different ways. There are special filter media developed just for arsenic removal like the GEH-102 or similar. In domestic drinking water treatment, a reverse osmosis system can remove a large quantity of arsenic from water. Greensand filters can also remove a significant amount of arsenic, but is is dependent on the inlet iron content.
Arsenic is a poison and is a problem in well water if above 3ppm. It can be filtered.
