As many as 2 million Americans may be drinking well water that contains potentially dangerous amounts of arsenic, a new government study warns.
The analysis, conducted by researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, measured arsenic levels in private wells across the United States.
Study author Joseph Ayotte described the private well problem as "widespread."
"We define 'high arsenic' to mean arsenic [levels] greater than 10 micrograms per liter," he said. That mirrors standards used when evaluating public wells, he noted.

People on well water are living just as long as everyone else. Besides, where do the municipalities get their city water from? WELLS! Do they treat the water for arsenic? NO! Do they even test for it? NO!
ReplyDeleteJust get rid of your well and generator so the government can control your water supply!
Oh, and remember, gardens are against the "code" so you cannot grow your own food, eat our GMO crop!
A government study ? Do you trust the Government ? Not now or ever. Another boat load of BS. Who paid for this study , I'd like to get this gravy train.
