Whether the arsenic is released from these geologic sources into groundwater depends on the chemical form of the arsenic, the geochemical conditions in the aquifer, and the biogeochemical processes that occur. Arsenic also can be released into groundwater as a result of human activities, such as mining, and from its various uses in industry, in animal feed, as a wood preservative, and as a pesticide. In drinking-water supplies, arsenic poses a problem because it is toxic at low levels and is a known carcinogen.\u00a0In 2001, the USEPA lowered the MCL for arsenic in public-water supplies to 10 micrograms per liter (\u00b5g\/L) from 50 \u00b5g\/L. Dangerous Levels in Groundwater Supplies The USGS plays an active role in protecting human health from potential issues related to our Nation&#8217;s natural resources. One vital aspect is assessing the water quality of groundwater supplies. Whether across the U.S. or around the world, the USGS helps measure and monitor\u00a0drinking water supplies for\u00a0contaminants like arsenic. For example, dangerously high levels of arsenic have been found in drinking water wells in more than 25 states in the United States, potentially exposing 2.1 million people1\u00a0to drinking water high in arsenic. Possibly the\u00a0worst case\u00a0ever of arsenic poisoning occurred in Bangladesh, where over 100 million people2\u00a0were poisoned by arsenic in groundwater supplies. Solutions for Limiting the Risks of Arsenic in Your Water One of the surest ways to reduce the amount of arsenic in your water is to make use of a reverse osmosis filtration system. Our shop contains multiple varieties of R.O. systems so you may find what works best for your home."}
