Abstract: 

The aim of this work is to analyze and study various methods of removing arsenic from drinking water. Arsenic is introduced into water through the dissolution of rocks, minerals and ores, from industrial effluents, including mining wastes, and via atmospheric deposition. Even at high concentrations, arsenic-contaminated water is translucent, tasteless, and odorless. The primary route of exposure to arsenic for humans is ingestion. Exposure via inhalation is considered minimal. The standard amount arsenic to be present in water is 10ppb and an amount greater than it, cause threat to human body. Excess amount of arsenic in drinking water causes respiratory effects, reproductive effects ,lung and bladder cancer, cardiovascular diseases .Hence it became essential to treat drinking water in such a way that water is left with a minimal and non-effective amount of arsenic. Thus, it provides you with various new, common and most advantages methods for removing arsenic with proper detailing.
