It\u2019s arsenic in drinking water, which is a naturally occurring element that can seep into groundwater and silently contaminate the water supply. But unfortunately, arsenic is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, which effectively means that most people don\u2019t even realise they are consuming it until it starts affecting their health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we will explore why arsenic in drinking water is such a major problem and what are the serious consequences and what should be done to protect you and your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/app\/lp114?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=blog_lead\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2251 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clickbait-Infographics-1024x532.jpg\" alt=\"water purifier\" width=\"640\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clickbait-Infographics-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clickbait-Infographics-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clickbait-Infographics-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clickbait-Infographics.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #6e7191;color:#6e7191\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #6e7191;color:#6e7191\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/why-arsenic-in-drinking-water-serious-health-risks\/#Understanding_what_Arsenic_is_and_how_it_gets_into_Drinking_Water\" title=\"Understanding what Arsenic is and how it gets into Drinking Water?\">Understanding what Arsenic is and how it gets into Drinking Water?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/why-arsenic-in-drinking-water-serious-health-risks\/#What_are_the_health_risks_associated_with_Arsenic_in_Drinking_Water\" title=\"What are the health risks associated with Arsenic in Drinking Water?\">What are the health risks associated with Arsenic in Drinking Water?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/why-arsenic-in-drinking-water-serious-health-risks\/#1_Skin_Disorders\" title=\"1.

It exists in both inorganic and organic forms, with the latter being highly toxic and commonly found in contaminated groundwater. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, in many parts of India, particularly in West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Punjab, arsenic leaches into underground water sources due to several geological processes, agricultural runoff, and industrial pollution. Since most Indian households in rural and urban areas completely depend on groundwater or borewell sources, the chances of consuming water contaminated with arsenic in drinking water are highly dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_health_risks_associated_with_Arsenic_in_Drinking_Water\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the health risks associated with Arsenic in Drinking Water?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming arsenic-laced water over a long period of time can lead to chronic arsenic poisoning which, is also known as arsenicosis. The health effects can be horrible, with some even being irreversible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Skin_Disorders\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Skin Disorders<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water can lead to skin darkening, the appearance of lesions, and thickening of the skin on the soles and palms. These are some of the earliest visible signs of arsenic poisoning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Risk_of_Cancer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Risk of Cancer<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arsenic is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is also known as IARC. Additionally, regular consumption of arsenic-contaminated water increases the risk of cancer of the skin, kidney, bladder, and liver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cardiovascular_Issues\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Cardiovascular Issues<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the arsenic can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. Studies suggest that even low doses over a long time can effectively increase cardiovascular risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Neurological_Effects\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Neurological Effects<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic exposure affects functioning in the brain, especially in children, and causing several issues like reducing IQ, learning disabilities, and other behavioral problems as well. So, it is not recommended to drink water that contains arsenic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Developmental_and_Reproductive_Issues\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Developmental and Reproductive Issues<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes pregnant women exposed to arsenic are more likely to suffer from miscarriage, stillbirths, or low birth weight babies. This can negatively impact hormone regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Detect_If_Your_Water_has_Arsenic\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Detect If Your Water has Arsenic?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since arsenic doesn\u2019t change the taste, odor, smell, or color of water, so it is undetectable. It can only be detected through lab-based water testing, which many households don\u2019t regularly have access to conduct such tests. It is advisable to use a high-quality and advanced water purifier that is capable of removing arsenic and gives you healthy and safe drinking water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Role_of_Water_Purifiers_in_Removing_Arsenic\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the Role of Water Purifiers in Removing Arsenic<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all the water purifiers are built or designed to tackle heavy metals like arsenic. Only Reverse Osmosis water purifiers are equipped with specific filtration technology that can effectively reduce arsenic content in drinking water. So, if you are someone who is seeking to buy a water purifier, please ensure that you invest in a purifier that comes with an RO membrane, because it removes dissolved impurities, which include arsenic, lead, fluoride, and nitrates. Activated carbon filter, which removes organic impurities, chlorine, and improves taste. Also, make sure to invest in a water purifier that comprises of UV lamp and a TDS controller to maintain essential minerals after purification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_DrinkPrime\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose DrinkPrime?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DrinkPrime provides an advanced purification technology solution that is tailored for Indian water conditions.
