Arsenic contaminated natural waters, including surface water and ground water, are a significant problem as some of these compounds are known to be toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. The deleterious health effects associated with ingestion of arsenic require that its concentrations should be kept below 10.0 ppb in potable wa-ter supplies.

Information used in the presentation came from USEPA arsenic treatment technology demonstration program and other field studies conducted by Battelle of Columbus, OH under a TO contract.

The last phase of the ongoing cleanup is the arsenic removal that is proposed in various areas on BHS property. BHS is located at 400 Carolan Avenue, Burlingame.

Experiments have been conducted to examine the extent of arsenic removal as a function of pH and the kinetics of the reaction. The main objective of this research is to identify the most effective zeolite that remains active over a wide range of pH.This is an abstract of a proposed presentation and does not necessarily reflect EPA policy.
