Ohio Monday, July 9, 2012 State tests will determine arsenic levels in drinking water The chemical occurs naturally in Ohio groundwater Story by KELLI FITZPATRICK |
| | |
| Ohio is trying to find out how extensive the arsenic contamination of ground water throughout the state may be.
State and federal agencies will begin the search for chemical hot spots by testing public and private wells in Licking County.
The state department of health and the EPA plan to draw up a state map of arsenic distribution and give county agencies the tools to keep their levels under control.
Bob Frey is the health-assessment chief at the Ohio Department of Health. He says arsenic in Ohio will be an ongoing issue because it comes naturally from sandstone and gravel deposits. |
“The levels that we’re seeing in water supplies, both public and private, are the result of natural geological conditions. So that’s the way the water is, so you’re pretty much stuck with a lifetime of treatment.”
Residents can install two kinds of water filters in their homes to remove the chemical.
Chronic exposure to elevated levels of arsenic in drinking water can increase risk of kidney and lung cancer, as well as skin and circulation problems.
Some of the known concentrations in Northeast Ohio are in Summit, Stark, Wayne, Trumbull and Portage counties. |
