Wrekin Water and Arsenic Reduction

Arsenic is found naturally in many parts of the UK and Ireland and with the lowering of the European drinking water standards for arsenic it's removal is vital. The contaminated water passes through robust granular Bayoxide media developed for Severn Trent Water. As the water travels through the media the arsenic is absorbed and removed to a level below the drinking water standard. This treatment is a very cost effective way of removing arsenic.

    Questions about Arsenic Reduction

    What are the health risks of arsenic in drinking water?


    Long-term exposure to arsenic in water can lead to serious health issues such as cancer (especially skin, bladder, and lung), skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and developmental effects in children.

    How does arsenic get into drinking water?


    Arsenic naturally occurs in rocks and soil and can leach into groundwater sources. It may also come from industrial pollution or the use of arsenic-based pesticides.

    How can I test for arsenic in my water?


    You can use certified lab testing kits or send a water sample to a local water testing laboratory. Home test kits are available, but lab tests are more accurate and reliable.

    What filtration methods remove arsenic from water?

    Effective arsenic removal technologies include reverse osmosis, adsorptive media (like activated alumina or iron oxide), ion exchange, and distillation. Activated carbon alone is usually not effective for arsenic unless it’s a specialized type.
