Introduction
In the past few years, the topic of health as it relates to environmental awareness has emerged as a significant concern for global leaders,
government officials and the common family. Arsenic, an ambiguous element found in the atmosphere, soils, rocks, natural waters organisms, is one of the current leading environmental health issues. Most environmental arsenic problems are the result of mobilization under conditions, but man has contributed release arsenic in the environment through mining activity, combustion of fossil fuels,herbicides, and the use of arsenic as an additive to livestock feed. Of various sources of arsenic in the environment, drinking water is estimated to pose the greatest threat to human health. Since drinking water is derived from a wide variety of sources, levels arsenic varies depending on the source that water
originated from. Arsenic odorless, tasteless, and enters supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and agricultural
practices.
Of trend are in me ground water sources than in surface water sources, such as lakes and rivers. The demand on ground from municipal systems and private drinking water wells may cause water levels to drop and release arsenic from rock formations. All various releases of into the drinking supply raise very important health concerns in humans. Some of se health includes thickening and discoloration of the skin, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, numbness in the houses and feet, partial paralysis, and blindness. Furthermore, arsenic haven linked to cancer the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver and prostate. This paper will analyze issue of arsenic in drinking water, will discuss different points view regarding this problem, and will raise concerns regarding any contradicting research. It will also discuss limitations and developments, and conclude with new developments in area.
