Analytical considerations of arsenic contamination in water
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by Neil Durham, Walter KosmusThe high concentrations of arsenic now being found in
ground water in many parts of the world pose an important
analytical challenge because of the large number of wells
that must be tested. This is particularly true in Bangladesh
and other Asian hotspots. Cheap but robust methods of
analysis are needed. Training and quality control are also
important particularly when the majority of wells are
privately owned and testing may be carried out by the
private sector. Here, using Bangladesh as an example, we
review some of the methods of testing drinking water for
arsenic in the field.
